EVIE
the light of dawn is coming
There’s no need for concern over changing on the beach, so Evie doesn’t think twice before shucking her outer layers and slipping into her swimsuit there on the sand. Adjusting a twisted strap, she makes a groaned noise of delight at the prospect of burgers. “Yes please. I love vegetables but I miss meat a little since we make it less for Amhran.” Evie admittedly still hopes Erebos will be half as excited to eat his leafy greens as his demigod brother, but she can still miss the frequency of burgers and steaks in their nightly rotations too.
As Deimos begins crafting floaties, Evie sets up the umbrella and towels for any future languishing between swimming and eating. As duck imagery appears she chortles and coos somehow at the same time and decrees her work good enough in favor of crossing over to poke at an inflated beak. “What do you think of your chariot darling? Not as cool as Zuriel, right?” Perhaps he’ll end up with a companion of his own one day. Maybe even his own unicorn. Leaving the toddler for Deimos to transport in all his squeaking, vibrant yellow glory, Evie walks backward toward the water with a bright encouraging grin for their son to ease any uncertainty over this new experience. “Let’s go swimming!”
