DEIMOS
His own Mastered Air passed through his lungs with no issue; bubbling and brewing within with no need to reach for the surface; so inevitably, he ended up surging along with simply the use of his muscles and fortitude for swimming. He was more intrigued by the answers given though – as capacities had been rendered to maintain the dead for temporary means…and what that entailed for the masses.
His thoughts were initially for Rexanna, for Kiada and Ru’in, for so many others left buried or burnt into ash, for lanterns settled upon branches and strings every autumn. But he’d never be one to ask anyone to maneuver anything for himself; much less an entire soul housed in Mort’s realm. Especially to beg for her forgiveness.
Interesting, he said instead, rippling the set of gloves outward on the same billowing gusts of air. They only went a few feet in the water, and then he figured he’d have to muster other elements, sauntering after them as if giving chase. Knowing only some amount of the losses the Flood had held – his head tilted, preparing for something as the coral’s colors bristled along his sights. Would you, if given the opportunity? And not just for celebrations and birthdays and engagements.

who we were before bones, before dirt, before even light
we have always been deep, restless souls
