DEIMOS
And in your darkest hour,
I hold secrets flame
Summer storms weren’t anything out of the ordinary in Halo. For a formidable climate, it rarely altered course in its denizens – so much that seasons persisted in much the same way. So it was no surprise when Deimos arrived at the guild hall to find portions of its roof blown off – likely from strong gales, rapacious edges of ice, and anything in between.
Rolling up his sleeves and sighing, he knew full well it would take several hours out of his day to repair the building – and it couldn’t be left to sit there until he was done with other duties. By then, the wear and tear could be detrimental. Withholding another long breath, he puffed out his cheeks, and instead of miring in irritation, opted to begin with inspecting the damage. It only took moments to shift from eagle to glide over to the roof, and man again, lingering on the edges, surveying the depth of holes and where shingles had peeled away. His eyes flickered upon the dashed ones some yards off into the snow, black and overt against the outcropping of ivory. Forming a mental checklist, he kneeled and crouched along the flatter portions, gloves hands grasping on one of the shingles left barely holding on, and tugging it free, intending to start anew. master of nothing place; of recoil and grace |

NOAH
Noah was looking for Deimos. He needed to tell him the news of the twins birth in person. This was not something Talyson could take to him, or even sent tied to Eira's claws. This was joyous news that his friend would want to hear from him. So, when Cordelia's mother and sisters came to spend the day with her and the twins, Noah let himself out.
He teleported first to the guildhall, only to find the path ahead scattered with the remnants of the roof. "Oh, shit." Noah said under his breath, bending to grab up the shingles as he walked up the path. Another shingle came spiraling down towards him, and Noah sidestepped to avoid it hitting his head. Cupping a hand against his forehead, the hunter looked up to the roof. "Dei, are you up there?" Sun is up, hold on to what is yours Take up your spade and break ground the Resurrected Sword

NOAH
Once Deimos stood to his full height and his presence was unmistakable, Noah smiled. He set down his gathered shingles, noting the damage as he did so. His face and the hum from his throat displayed his understanding now of Deimos throwing them down. Using his There in a Flash magic, Noah poofed from his spot he was standing and appeared on the roof before the Warden.
"They're here." Noah said, crouching low and using his hands and feet to gain his best balance on the shingle-mottled roof. He couldn't help the brilliant, bright joy that burst across the attuned bond. As forceful as a sudden tidal wave and yet as warm as the best summer's day, it would be easily overwhelming to someone who didn't know the Sentinel as well as Deimos did.

NOAH
Noah wasn't focused on the state of the roof, really. He knew Deimos was up here working, but couldn't see much past the brim of his own nose. He nearly vibrated with the happiness he felt. "Yes, she's strong." Noah nodded fiercely, though Deimos needed little reminding in that regard.
"Yes, for you to meet them." His pride was endless in this moment, and he wanted nothing more than for his friends to share in even just a sliver of that. He wasn't sure how Deimos felt about children, let alone infants, but Noah just wanted to show off his babies. That was when he started to actually see what Deimos was doing. The bad shingles had all been torn off and now needed to be replaced. "I'll help you work on this, and then we can go." He Then, without any more hesitation, Noah set to work like a buzzing little bee. Sun is up, hold on to what is yours Take up your spade and break ground the Resurrected Sword

NOAH
At Deimos' agreement Noah's inward happiness only increased, which hardly seemed feasible. Deimos was his closest friend, after all, with all of those he grew up with shoulder to shoulder and arm in arm having passed at this point. "Margot Rose and Marcus Korbin." Noah beamed, though his eyes shifted down to the work before them.
The warden used his magic to manifest the parts they would need. Noah took up a hammer and several nails, taking the heads of them and placing them between his teeth to ready for easy transfer. Shuffling carefully on the roof, Noah slid a shingle into place. He used one hand to hold it and the other to hammer it in place, carefully keeping it from shifting as he took his hand off to place nails. Once his teeth were empty again, Noah spoke as he gathered more supplies and scuttled to a different section of roof. "They're perfect, Deimos, I swear it." His words were muffled as he tried to hold some nails and talk at the same time. Sun is up, hold on to what is yours Take up your spade and break ground the Resurrected Sword

NOAH
”Have you and Evie thought about kids?” The hunter asked, cocking his head to the side curiously. Noah and Deimos had never had this conversation. For him, it was the natural order of things. He had always wanted a wife and children, to nourish their lives here in Halo and continue the Olson line. He knew, though, that not everyone shared this same vision for their lives.
Noah continued to work, only lifting his eyes from the shingles beneath his hands momentarily to see if Deimos’ face contorted at the question. Doubtful, with the man’s general stoicism, but if it would happen it was likely to happen around Noah given the depth of their friendship. Taking a few more nails, Noah set a shingle and moved on the next, rinsing and repeating. Sun is up, hold on to what is yours Take up your spade and break ground the Resurrected Sword

NOAH
Deimos’ answer wasn’t totally unexpected, or even shocking, but it definitely wasn’t satisfying. If the hunter wasn’t so consumed in his own joy and pride for his new progeny, he might have been stung that Noah wasn’t in a circle of trust enough to be able to discuss such a topic with the Sword. But, nothing could bring Noah down right now. So with a pursing of his lips and a nod of his head, Noah accepted what Deimos said and kept working.
He lifted his hand to indicate to the warden that he needed more shingles before he shifted himself on the roof towards the next spot that needed to be covered. ”If Cordelia had it her way there’d be a hundred little Olsons tugging at your cloak.” Noah said, bright eyes wrinkling as he mimicked Deimos’ barking laughter.

NOAH
The repairs seemed to go smoothly enough, considering how Deimos and Noah's combined history in building and repairing was renown at this point. After years of destruction from elements and magic alike, creatures and enemies, there had always been construction plans and deals in the works.
Noah laughed and waggled his finger at Deimos, "Now now, if your bedroom life stays between you and Evie, then so does mine and Cordelia's." He could not hide the boyish glint in his eye, and he could barely restrain the barking laughter that waggled at the bottom of his throat. Noah balanced back on his heels more, waiting for Deimos to throw something at him. Sun is up, hold on to what is yours Take up your spade and break ground | ||||||
