Deimos the Reaper master of nothing place, of recoil and grace Disaster: unfurling before his eyes like smoke and fumes, like it had a thousand times before, curling amongst ethers and vestiges, pandemonium, chaos, a tempestuous edge with serrated knives cluttered along its boundaries, its nettles, its thorns. It was a weight he’d carried from other times, from other worlds, from other storms, fettering away at the cluster, at the conflagration of his soul – because in the end, his efforts had been meaningless, and seemingly, so had everyone else’s. Monsters came and went, thundered their way through anything content, anything sacred, and destroyed – dismissed whimsical memories for stained, bloody ones, remnants of bodies and broken, brittle, entanglements. |

ADAM Adam had taken to a lot of wandering about the more densely natural parts of the Hollowed Grounds since he'd become Attuned; there was something so much more real, more exciting about the trees and wildlife around him when he was in an animal form. More than ever before he felt a part of the environment and world around him, which given how out of place he often felt in the town, was a precious thing indeed.
He had just transformed back from his snake form, thought he might perhaps use the Longheat sun as an excuse to go for a swim in the Oasis, when he saw a very strange sight indeed. Deimos, sat by the edge of the water, making a basket...with a unicorn. It sounded like the start to a joke, but there wasn't a punchline. Normally he would've waltzed up and immediately come out with a goofy one liner, teased the man right out, but...the last few days had been heavy, difficult. Adam dealt with things by ignoring them (hence the increase in time spent as a snake) but even he could not escape the tension of Fiat Lux tragedy. For this reason he instead chose to walk slowly to Deimos (he felt he had to say hello at least, given Amalia bonding the both of them together) and wave, awkwardly looking over the unicorn. "Hey. ...Whatcha doing? I didn't think you'd be an arts and crafts kinda guy." A wasted youth is better by far

ADAM Deimos, ever literal and to the point, answered plainly. "Well, yeah, I can see that. ...It's not bad, actually." Adam added, as if this was a notable surprise, not realising the veiled insult in his words. He was distracted still by the presence of the Unicorn, a creature he had not yet come across in Caido. Perhaps it was silly as he had a dragon following him (bouncing happily along the grass behind him then stopping short and staring at Zuriel) but this particular fantasy beast had been a surprise.
He sat down by the Oasis, watching Deimos' fingers work. "Yeah, I know. I was here last year...didn't get around to making one, though." It had been during the time when he'd been so sure of his return to his own old world that he'd not bothered to get involved with any of Caido's festivities. Now, with a resigned knowledge he was stuck here, he wanted to learn. Find something to relieve the darkness that hung over them - though Fiat Lux had hardly done that. "...Could you teach me how? To make one?" He asked, unsure if Deimos would; he'd hardly made the best first impression, but everyone was a little vulnerable now. Perhaps it was time to make something together rather than strike off each other. A wasted youth is better by far

ADAM The great, heavy silence with which Deimos regarded him had an actual weight to it, one that Adam was sure had to end with the man either throwing him into the Oasis headfirst or perhaps taking mercy and only telling him to fuck off.
Either way, he was not expecting to be still sat there, in front of Deimos, after the first minute had passed. Yet he was, no matter how much the fancy horse glared at him. Adam picked grass off the shore and stared right back at the unicorn, mentally telling Coffee to stay back and not walk right up to the creature and start sniffing its various regions - he could see it ending in a trampling. While he was sure they were never going to be best friends, Deimos finally spoke and gave him a real answer, one that he could build off of to attempt to build a conversation. "Oh. ...So...I'm not gonna have anything to do with making it, huh? Maybe we could pretend you're my dad and hold my hands while you do it so it feels like I am." Adam said, shifting up a little - it was not clear if this was a joke or a suggestion. A wasted youth is better by far

ADAM Deimos was not a quick speaker; had Adam been his old self, quicker to judge, he would have written the man off as stupid. But he could see that wasn't the case, could see it in the man's eyes, the way he considered every word.
Even if that word was just no. He sighed, nearly rolling his eyes and stopping just short. Deimos just didn't get it; didn't get him. Had reacted to the hardships of the world by becoming a statue; Adam had made himself a jokester, a hero crafted from bits of fiction. When confronted with someone so unrelentingly serious, his persona did not have a response. Uncomfortably, he trailed his finger in a figure eight over the surface of the water, wondering if it was best to just get up and leave the man alone. At least the unicorn seemed to have some interest in him. Adam laughed at the snuffling around his hair, reaching up to pat the snout of the creature (mistakenly believing she was looking to be friends). Looking to Deimos, he sighed and tried something he hadn't before. Honesty. "Look, mate. We're not ever gonna be best friends, I don't think. And I'm sorry that I take the piss outta you - it's only fun when you do it back, and you don't, so.." He tilted his head from side to side. "But...we both care a hell of a lot about Amalia and I don't think you're a bad guy. So...how about this." Reaching down for a thicker bit of grass than the small threads he'd been shredding , Adam began to fold the fibres with a fingers much more experienced at it than he'd let on. "Let's have a contest. Can I make a basket as good as your magic one? And...while we're making it, tell me something about yourself. Favourite food. Or...I guess...best weapon you ever had, or war you won, or whatever. I dunno what you did before all this." A wasted youth is better by far

ADAM The unicorn seemed to like his pets and Adam gladly gave them, missing his own horse from home very much - Flash had been affectionate as well as loyal, had served him very well...he could only hope someone had found him and looked after him after his portal kidnapped him to Caido. Hopefully someone with a lot of apples and pets and need to ride around the city so he got exercise.
The only thing that could distract him from Zuriel was Deimos smiling at him (at least, making a motion towards the direction of smiling), something he thought he'd never see. With a grin and new determination, he began to weave faster, skills from his childhood he never thought he'd use again coming in use, memories of his mother showing him traditions from their mountain home. Soldier, of course. Not a surprise there; Adam nearly pointed it out but thought it might stray too close to mockery and let it drop. "By the ocean, huh? Didya always wanna be a soldier, or were you ever gonna be something else? Far as I know, most people don't choose it." Then again, he had lived in a period of war, had known a time where the kingdom had been desperate for men, had dragged children barely growing their first wisps of facial hair out into the fields.

ADAM As Deimos considered his question Adam added more and more to the base of his basket, little squares coming out diagonally to make a bottom a few inches across. It was not perhaps the most complicated design in the world, but it would be strong and it was appearing quickly; betrayed his farm beginnings - aesthetics had not mattered when the baskets had to be made quick enough to hold the harvests.
"Did ya get it? Honour and glory, I mean. All that good stuff." From the way Deimos had said the words, as if they were somehow beneath him, Adam thought it unlikely, but it was so difficult to tell anything about the man's true emotions he could not be entirely sure. The question he was asked in return was only fair, but Adam couldn't help but inwardly cringe; he was sure Deimos would not like the answer. Still, he was trying to be honest and all... "Well. For a while, then on and off, I've worked in brothels. Then uh...I guess what you could call stealing, but only ever from noble cunts that deserved it; in my world there was a lot of fuckery going on on their part and I saw it as a kind of justice." He shrugged, unsure how well that idea would translate across universes. A wasted youth is better by far

ADAM Okay, so looking at Deimos' basket, Adam already knew he was unlikely to win the little contest he'd suggested; the patterns, like constellations plucked down from the sky, anointed Deimos' basket with an otherworldly quality. Meanwhile, Adam's basket was sturdy, well made, yet very plain. Amusing, he thought, given their personalities - he suspected the average person would have expected the baskets to be made by the other of the two.
He nodded as Deimos confirmed he had not found those things that warmongers so often promised; Adam wondered if anyone ever did find glory at the end of a war, or if it was a fairy story made to push little boys into killing. "Did you fight in a lot of wars?" It seemed his initial impression of Deimos as someone that would rigidly stick to laws had been incorrect; in fact it seemed like the man might even have appreciated his work. While Adam had never worked in stealing people (and very rarely information) he was still happy to find he might have found a way to worm his way into Deimos' heart. "So you knew Rexanna back then, huh? I've found someone that came from the same world as me...it's nice. Even if he's from five hundred years later. Was your world much like Caido?" Adam began to expand his basket outwards, the sides curving up. A wasted youth is better by far
