EVIE
there ain't no doubt in no ones mind
Simplicity is a rare commodity these days, decisiveness more so, but Evie knows the weight they can take off so she smiles and taps her palm twice against the side of the tub like a stamp of approval. “Then it’s settled. We’ll move the springs to the Citadel. Even better business for the city too, right?” Who could have guessed that Halo would unintentionally become a tourist destination instead of a wasteland full of cannibals and spontaneous death?“Things like this are entirely built on fine lines,” she agrees on a sigh that comes out strained. ‘Things like this’ is a poor way to word it, but she can’t bear to call it an invasion or a war. Not yet. “We tried one route. The others likely won’t try to do the same, but we still had an impact. A big one. That still matters.” Two demigods regained is as good an outcome as they could have hoped for even if the lifespan of the springs was not what they’d hoped for or counted on.
He maneuvers closer and she sinks further down into the bath, eyes narrowing at the same rate as they flicker between his palm and his face. Just deep enough for the water to hit her chin as she’s not capable of speaking to him in any other way. “Accusation? No no, educated inference.” She sniffs haughtily and tilts her nose to the ceiling in classic Wordsworth snottiness. Wet hair doesn’t flip nearly so neatly but some sacrifices have to be made. “Social and unable to sit still, what sort of horror are we going to unleash on the world when he can speak in full sentences?” Moaning dramatically she sinks deeper until only her nose is above water, wary of his antics and hoping to reduce his power by getting the rest of herself wet anyway.
that love's the finest thing around
