[PQ+] [SE] tearing open the sky

Hotaru

Open up the gates, I feel close enough to heaven
To go, to stay, to leave, to pray

Ru can't help her own little laugh as Deimos catches her eyes, suspicious side-eye for the arm melting into humor. Heh, melting.

Speaking of melting, it's not so much that as a flumph and a collapse that is equally as comical as the strange disembodied stick-arm. Like watching a tiny avalanche and a man falling over drunk combine into some vague, snowy form. Deimos' instruction has her playfully wrinkling her nose and purposefully trailing quite slowly behind Elizabeth, hoping the woman will be more inclined to poke around in the puddle given the weapon she has on hand.

And if there's still more to investigate, well...Ru pokes at the debris with her foot, clearly unimpressed and silently expressing how above all this she thinks she is. (In reality, she's just missing her encyclopedia of magic that once would have allowed her to do this sort of menial work without lifting a rather literal finger.)

Ru reluctantly and slowly pokes around with her foot.

But I guess they didn't like my confession
I know it's just a bad religion
