EVIE
I want your midnights
The inside of the Citadel had been blessedly spared most of the damage, only the quake of the impact having reached within the walls, so the shrine remains untouched. Evie holds her offerings in her arms, shoulder brushing against Deimos' like they are helping each other accomplish every step, holding each other vertical. It's not far from the truth given how much time and energy they have been pouring into Halo since the impact. As she kneels - grateful for the chance to rest - she places a set of unconventional offerings upon the shrine. Tokens, toys, letters; all things she has received from injured Halovians as gratitude for her healing and her work. Halovians alive in part because of Frey's continued support and response to their prayers. She unfurls a few tenderly carried blooms as well, placing them on top of the trinkets and parchment. Blossoms that had come from the swathe of greenery she, Alys, and Deimos had planted outside the Citadel walls to control the flooding and erosion near the gates for foreign aid to arrive safely.
"We have decided as a region that we would like the barrier to be defensive in nature, and activation tied to citizenship if possible." Brushing hair out of her eyes, she tries to make herself more presentable when it reminds her that she must look rather bedraggled. "Otherwise, it can be activated from the covered pedestal we built, with an inherent cooldown for deactivation." Hopefully it could be done, but if not, she is certain Frey will guide them true.
