DEIMOS
what tried to destroy you
didn't have the strength
didn't have the strength
Long strides carried him across the wake, out of the range of anyone and everything roaming nearby – snorting at the Dragoon’s drawl. “Lucky guess,” he grinned. “Sounds like something that would amuse it.” And while Deimos hadn’t ever had any complaints about the raggedy herald, that didn’t mean plenty of others hadn’t been subjected to less-than-ideal quests from it. Still, Safrin probably would’ve been a safer alternative.
Turning back to face Koa though, his eyes narrowed and he tilted his head, mildly confused on why the clothes were more important than perhaps the entire rest of his entity…but it was a fair assertion. The fire likely wouldn’t have permitted the shirt to remain as anything more than ash. “Life drain it is.” Which meant Deimos would have to be the more careful one.
At least the fabric seemed to have retained some power. “And for how long? Likely has some limitations with it.” Watching the younger man start to shiver though made him crave to inquire a lot of semblances, but resolutely and wisely, he kept his mouth shut. As for avoiding magic, he gave half a grin. “Probably things you already have – shields, guards, certain clothing and items. The problem is there are many magics around, so you would have to be careful about what types you would like to avoid and have covered. Running and evasion itself are good options too.” Staying out of range, ducking behind certain shelters, exploiting limitations…all well and good until one encountered someone with enough stamina, fortitude, endurance, and power to bypass most.
But here they were anyway. “Let me know when you are ready.”

still you stand
sturdy and smelling of smoke
