Evie
i'll plant a row of daisy seeds
in the space beneath each eye
in the space beneath each eye
It's always a sweet moment to be alone together, much as she adores their sons. It also allows Evie to more plainly wear her emotions as Deimos regales her with the summary of the events on Starfall, the creases of concern and fretfulness apparent even with his lightened tone and the reality of his safe existence at her side. It will never be easy, seeing him off on missions of such magnitude. Evie knows she can't stand with the giants he keeps the company of - the giant he is - but she'll never stop longing to if only to ensure his safety firsthand.
"And I'm assuming nobody expected it to die in a single blow, right? Seems like Seren should be experimenting on that instead." Anyone but her husband really, so thank the Gods whatever weapon it was belongs to Ronin. Evie would feel guilty about that but she's content to throw stones at the immortal couple when she's firmly mortal and unfavored by the gods - and Deimos is at least half of those, as far as she knows.
But he's alive and well, so she lets the worry in her face crack into vulnerable beginnings of humor as she exhales sharply in an imitation of a laugh. "I told you planting would come in handy someday," she teases, pinching lightly at his side as they venture out into the long tendrils of swiftly approaching dusk. "Everyone overlooks flowers until they're the key to healing Caido for the second time." She'll have to pray her gratitude to Vi and Rae later for their continued support of the botanical arts.

so they'll remind you of your beauty
when they bloom each time you cry
when they bloom each time you cry
