ISKRA
Deimos' softer voice had been hard to hear among the inane cussing that Goose brandished at the ningos, but as they each take aim once more and the flock finally disperses, the dog's fervor settles into a glorified middle finger of a huff.
With less competition to be heard, Iskra picks up on Deimos' conversation easier now, and the previous words seem to settle with better recognition now, like he'd heard them but hadn't registered exactly what had been said until something else clicked into place. The news earns a frown from Iskra as he scatters more stones like breadcrumbs for birds, and knowing ningos they likely would try to eat these. "I wonder why now? Almost seems like maybe they're getting worried..." After all, a negotiation requires something from both parties. "Sounds like a hard offer to pass up though too," Iskra admits with a faint sigh. If he'd been in the same position, would he have made the same choice?
Probably, admittedly. Agreeing to that requires a bit of faith in the Family, and as nice as being protected sounds, especially for Deimos who has been pushing back on the island, buying the sword's inaction feels like a bind to tight to take. These notions thread steadily as Iskra follows along south, stones tossed like heavy confetti.

It's hard to tell the truth when you lie to yourself
Always give too much of you to someone else
I'm talkin' to you now like we're old friends
It'll never be too late to start again
