Something like guilt tightened at the response, but a play of reassurance seemed to slide from her foot, so he stifled the immediate dread. He wouldn’t want the sentiments to go absent-minded in lieu of every other gods forsaken thing that had occurred over this season or the last. Maybe their recent experiences merely heightened the weight and magnitude of their devotions, because he couldn’t fathom not having the strength of support, love, and fortitude from the surrounding world nowadays. His eyes flickered back to hers, and he shoved himself upright once again, content to simply watch the two of them from across the table; knowing, for that instant, they were all safe and whole. “Makes me all the more appreciative,” and he winked, allowing for the lightest wrinkle of his nose before casting other things.
And he knew how difficult it’d been for Evie to re-establish those age-old ties with Maea, but he also couldn’t let the ridiculous words settle into the world without some manner of consequence. So while he regretted watching her features turn, he’d rather extend everything in the open, then let it all simmer into the void and spill apart later. “She apologized for jeopardizing Erebos and leaving, but nothing else.” His gaze cast back to the windows, watching a swirl of snow pilfer by, memories snagging and segmenting. “I reminded her that she endangered every single person in that room, and she did not seem to care. Said we should have fought back, like her.” Snorting at the audacity, and rampant stupidity, he let that settle, presuming it would ignite the Evergreen, just as it had done to him.
Spice over herbal tendencies sounded like Danta, and he snorted again. “Likely preferable as well. Worth a try. I am certain he would tell us if he did not care for it.”
