Alys
Something in Alys relaxed at the news that Deimos’s family was alright, although her friend left his own state unspoken. She thought she could gather enough from the emotions he fought so hard to control to understand that he was decidedly not okay - but it was unlikely that talking about it was going to fix anything, not when he shouldered the responsibility for an entire region. Her heart ached for him, that he was having to carry the burden with very few people to share it with.
The news about the healing springs left Alys feeling stripped down and bare, and she stared at Deimos with shock. In the back of her mind, she had relied on the springs being there more, perhaps, than she had realized. If she was infected, at least Tal would be able to see it and take her to Halo, she’d thought; but now, with the springs gone…
Her thoughts began to spiral, and she almost missed Deimos’s query. ”I’m - I’m alright, all things considered,” she said after a beat. ”It’s just - hard to feel safe anywhere at the moment.” Even at home, where she’d never imagined they’d be attacked. Had they been targeted for her role in helping Halo, or for Tal’s in stopping the Void elsewhere? Or perhaps it had been a random attack, and it had nothing to do with either of them, although given past events, she thought that rather unlikely.
