and the only solution was to stand and fight
Given how often Deimos extended offers of opportunities, he hadn’t considered her reaction. He glanced at her again, quickly, at the stopping and starting, wondering if he’d done something to gain ire or upset endeavors, but it was quickly erased and faded once her words were clear. Snorting, he grinned. “You are welcome. We have the quarters in Halo – there is a library, rooms, bounty information and the like, whenever you feel the need to go in.” Something there, warm and inviting, with a healthy hearth and multitudes to gain with information, sagacity, and experience.
Her other words caused his brow to arch – as he’d spotted a slight flare for the dramatic and perhaps imagery from something of Evie’s favored tomes – and gave a vague roll of his eyes, but his own dry humor was laden there, in the touch of half a grin. “Much more of the latter. I do not tolerate dangerous feats of foolishness – especially on hunts when being irresponsible can lead to someone’s death.” No need for posing on peaks and valleys, for making things more difficult than they needed to be. There were hundreds of ways to get themselves killed; why make it that much easier for monsters and cretins? They could save the dramatics for elsewhere.
