Offering Deimos an appreciative and amused smile, Safrin nods her thanks. 'Another time.' She agrees, hoping that her optimism wasn't misplaced.
Listening to the men speak, the goddess sighed adoringly, pleased that if nothing else, she had chosen well in choosing these two and lifting them as high as they cared to go.
"Come here." Said first to Ronin, the goddess moves to her Nova, wrapping her arms tightly around his shoulders and tugging him against her. On this night her touch was free of any of its normal seductive qualities, and instead she merely hugged him fervently, while whispering words of appreciation and luck in his ear. "I love you, Ronin. I hope to see you again soon." So saying, she drew back, running her thumb against his cheek before turning to Deimos.
If he'd let her, she'd reach up to embrace him too, her height somehow morphing that he needn't have to lean down to return the gesture. Similar but different words were whispered to him too, ones of fierce approval as well as luck. "I love you, Deimos. Be the strength that this world needs, okay?"
Pulling back, there was nothing left to do but gaze adoringly at each, before closing her eyes and sighing. It was time, and lingering in a dream would do little to change things. Despite the silvery tear that streaked down her cheek, Safrin opened her eyes and smiled as brightly as she could, before disappearing.
