where I save you and you save me
Earth magic, commanded and demanded from his ichor, spilled forth amidst the sprigs and seeds, and he watched as they grew into steady saplings, tall and stalwart enough to be able to fend things and survive on their own. Arranging the fruit and cream for Frey as well, he laughed in return and volley of Alys’s humor; content maybe that they could utilize jocular tones after everything. “I have relaxed before. It just does not last long.” And did it count if it was forced? Usually from Evie – and never quite lasting more than a day or two. “There is always something.” Especially when running a region, as the Seer would find or discover on her own with commitments to regions and their councils.
But then she was mulling over the possibilities, and content with his portions for Frey, he was rummaging through his bag once more for contributions to Ludo, some space away from the isle’s newfound boughs and branches. His brows furrowed in thought, listening – there were few places he hadn’t been, such as the open sea or the some of the interior of Starfall, and the latter wasn’t bound to be a good spot for a retreat.
The semblances of a ‘staycation’ earned a massive eyeroll and a low rumble. “They would still find me.” Pondering over places again, he wondered if the Evergreen would be open to using the cabins once more, or simply taking a moment to the seas and tide. “I do enjoy the ocean.” They had some special places too, woven in and out of different areas, but a scarce few without some laden trauma.

Deimos
and we save each other over and over, a hundred times, endlessly
