DEIMOS
ache first, but then let the cuts close
spit out the blood

It wouldn’t have mattered if Deimos opted to clarify the inquiry – the woman detailed her abilities and creations at large. His brow arched as she persisted through the melee of goods, wares, and contortions, and putting Erebos down briefly, as the youth clung to his long leg, he opened the bag to reveal the shield. “Very nice,” he offered in response, for it was – and clearly had taken dedication to meld and mold, given her description. He’d never worn a shield – not frequently anyway and certainly not in Caido – given his practicalities and pragmatics with the incantations laden under his skin. He placed it back within its threshold, ensuring it wouldn’t be ruined or marred.
“Merely browsing,” he responded, given that most things here he could create entirely on his own. Erebos grew a bit bolder and waved at the woman with his largely-mittened infant hand. “I have not seen you in Halo before.” And gods knew, before his time as Warden, he would’ve persisted in avoidance and reticence; his role, fortunately or not, ensured he had to go out of his way sometimes to not be the indifferent, stone figure. “I try to make it a habit to greet those in our region.” Extending his hand in introductions, and keeping one on his son so the youth didn’t topple over, he gave another residual rumble in tone. “I am Deimos. Who are you?”

watch your body pull itself back together
then let your soul do the same
