I knew everything when I was young

August evenings Bring solemn warnings
To remember to kiss the ones you love goodnight

It was nice - if a bit strange - to be able to converse with someone like Deimos without some larger purpose at work. She had grown used to interacting with him as a leader, and that was before the arrival of the Family, when any such conversation would have been about how to defeat their incursion. Now, though, in this time of peace, it seemed that things simply were - with Soh able to get back to her mapping and Deimos able to explore as he willed.

So the young woman shared his smile, nodding in agreement. "A worthy pursuit," she said. "I hope we can spend quite some time focused on such things." And not on the burdens of the past. Indeed, Soh wished to look to the future - a future that, hopefully, would include her finishing her quest and finding some semblance of inner peace along the way. "Say - I know this is random, but you have magic, right?"

You never know what temporal days may bring
So laugh, love, live free and sing
