before i learned civility

Evie

It's not an uncommon story for a bonded, and it makes Evie's smile take on a sorrowful tinge. "I found Micah in a collapsed den. If there were any others, they didn't survive. It's a bittersweet thing." It's all the more admirable that their companions are so resilient, capable of bouncing back and adapting to human ways. Her smile turns equally wry. "I've had Micah a little longer, and it's still a learning curve. I completely freaked out when we bonded," she admits like a secret, chuckling slightly. "I had no idea what I was feeling. He was completely calm while I freaked out the entire Skyboat trip home to Deimos." Who had proceeded to laugh at her for her complete lack of preparation before helping her contextualize the process.

Interest piqued by the mention of a shop, Evie flips her ponytail over her shoulder when Micah begins batting at it and raises her brows in a clear expression of intrigue. "Oh? What kind of shop? I might be able to help." A plan is already coalescing in the back of her mind, but it would depend on what exactly Alys was hoping to do with the space.
