DEIMOS
Knowledge and news passed swiftly, quickly, the moment he had passed through borders and lines. Stalwart soldiers that had stayed on the fringes of the Citadel, waiting to see if the ursur had come through. The sounds of fighting and the trumpets of familiar souls gathering to strive and try, and the one name resounding that made his heart lurch.
But they’d come through, in perhaps not the greatest example of teamwork, and he hadn’t been needed. Whether or not that stung too scarcely seemed to matter, and he threaded through the streets with Erebos in tow on his chest, wondering how long one would be able to keep their children blissfully unaware, before coming into their home, and listening to the sound of the water running nearby. Silent and stoic but suddenly grateful, he took another loop, giving her time and space while settling the infant down for a nap, and ensuring Belial was watchful and guarding in the nursery.
Then the attention was only for Evie, strolling towards where she unfurled knives into targets, consumed in his shirt, and for a moment he merely leaned against another effigy. An instant of open admiration, watching as she reveled in some destruction, in painted fixtures and alterations of first meetings, his smile curling in fondness, love, and relief, before uttering any deep, rumbling accords. “You all right?”
