There is no Frigate like a Book To take us Lands away.
Out of her peripheral, she noticed the wings reappear out of nowhere, seeming to solidify out of the air. Deimos didn't even flinch, just shooting the peryton a look. Elizabeth had to remind herself that this must be common behavior, shifting in and out of visibility like it's no big deal. It still made her keep her distance from the sleigh, determined only to approach when grabbing supplies.
Luckily, she got to witness the Warden's expressions soften at the topic of his wife. He obviously held an abundance of love for the woman. Elizabeth gave him an admiring look, hoping that on day someone might talk about her in the same manner, their eyes lighting up with love and adoration. The couple's meeting circumstances didn't surprise her. Deimos didn't seem like the kind of man to fall for the 'damsel in distress' type. If he had found Evie throwing knives, then Elizabeth had no doubt that she was more than capable of handling herself. Add in the fact that they'd been friends before they became partners just sweetened the image she had of their relationship.
Elizabeth gave Deimos a sweet smile. "That's beautiful. She must be incredible. I hope to meet her someday." It was more unlikely for her not to meet the woman, but she held the same sentiments nonetheless. Maybe Evie could even teach her a thing or two about being a strong woman in Halo.
As they came upon the next house, she developed a little skip to her steps, happy to be talking about love and relationships. Tilting her head slightly, she leaned further into the topic. "When did your relationship change? How did you know that your feelings for each other had gone past friendship?" Books and other couples often claimed there was a pivotal 'moment' when they realized that they loved their partner as more than a friend. Sometimes it was an intimate moment. Others noticed it when they were threatened to be separated. Fewer still knew the entire time. Elizabeth wondered what category Deimos had found himself in.
