DEIMOS
ache first, but then let the cuts close
spit out the blood

If he was to be questioned on distinctive sentiments by a relative stranger, Deimos would offer them in turn. But Hadama’s line of questioning was full of machinations where the Sword could hazard a guess – and doubted the Tidebreaker would enjoy the results. “From what I have seen,” which were pinnacles of Ronin’s resurrection, and the ties, the binds, of Vi to Amalia and Noah, “You will most likely lose your magic and shifts – and gain those under her prowess.” It would take more time, more effort; and may not coincide with plans that the Mer once had. To even be called a Mer any longer could hazard a stretch, and whether or not he’d be able to connect any longer to the people he claimed as his own. If these advantages of Safrin’s touch and foundation were enough to override everything else he’d yearned and craved…or if this was an opportunity, a new venture.
The Sword had no issue in Safrin’s loyalties and values in alliances either – Caido, for now, avoided war with one another and seemed to be circling the matter of the moon island at hand. He and the starry goddess shared their pettiness and abhorrence for Sunjata readily and easily. Whether Hadama would relay and rally those same sentiments caused his brow to arch once more. “You will have her love, but also her hatred – and she would not take kindly to associations with those she despises.” He had to wonder too, in the back of his mind, how Ronin would react to all of this.
Family loyalty, gratitude, kindness, and respect seemed to hold all the qualities Hadama needed from Safrin herself; no massive stretch of needs or wants or necessities, and the Warden nodded, perplexed but accepting. “So how would becoming a demigod benefit you, or your plans?”

watch your body pull itself back together
then let your soul do the same
then let your soul do the same
