DEIMOS
the ocean does not apologize for its depth
and the mountains do not seek forgiveness
and the mountains do not seek forgiveness
Keeping composure and calm through the proclamations and questions, he tilted his head, leaning his back against the rock, pondering over the circumstances. I am not certain what the parameters are for infection, and though not very willing to ever give the Flood the benefit of the doubt, perhaps simply saying it out loud was not permissible through whatever symptoms were embedded into the disease. Though the suggestion at Ronin’s behest gave him further consideration and pause. The hot springs are still functional and available. I suppose it depends on how we want to arrange things.

We were fortunate that the Eirachi did not freeze Halo further.” And perhaps that was the best they could do out of the situation. “As for why she did it, I am still confused. She would not have any use for mageglass.” Not with being Accepted anyway.

for the space they take
and so, neither shall I
and so, neither shall I
