DEIMOS
the fire can't touch me
for I have burned too many times
for I have burned too many times
His eyes widened at the compliments provided, perhaps because he rarely accustomed any to himself, but had been learning, striving, trying to not make everything self-deprecating. “Thank you,” he obliged instead of immediately refusing the semblances. “But it still matters if some are not content.” And maybe he would eventually have to learn sometimes it had nothing to do with them at all – and just the way the world revolved and rotated.
The Sword could’ve given any number of reasons why Sunjata was banned from Halo’s vicinity as long as Deimos lived and breathed, but when Sah didn’t ask for any details or elaboration, he let it be. “Ru initially wanted to be with her family,” which hurt in another way – because the mountain range and its people had been exactly that for years upon years, granting, giving, sheltering, encompassing, and she in return. Now they were even more scattered. “And though it may not have worked out,” especially since Flora was leading in Torchline now, “I told her she was always welcome here, regardless of how many arguments her and I had about it."
Something like surprise bestowed its way through his gaze, but he smothered it down for a narrowed gaze at the floor again. He didn’t hold Talyson in any high esteem, not after their quick parting of ways and words, and hardly cared for what the courier did nowadays with his life. It wasn’t his business, nor his concern, but to hear that he’d strived to take Sah out of Halo, and potentially even pilfer apart Sah’s own family in the selfish maneuver, caused another round of rancor to take hold. He wouldn’t show it, nor express it, however, opting instead for the show of loyalty to the Thunder, an individual who didn't bend or break. “Thank you for staying. I could not either.”
But where Sah and Deimos had roots, maybe others didn’t – and he couldn’t make them, regardless. So his smile chiseled its way back, residing halfway. “Exactly. So we continue to give them that love and support, even when it is difficult and from afar."

the sea can't harm me
for I have been drowning all my life
for I have been drowning all my life
