the harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun
Nodding slowly - because Amhran has only ever known Halo as his foundation of the world, the cradle into which he had been born - and trying hard to imagine what it would be like to have home so far away, the Raeling smiles across at Deimos again. "I'm glad - for both things," he says through a soft chuckle. "We've only ever been away from here a few times for more than a day or so, and I always miss it. I can't imagine what it would be like to be homesick for a place you can't go back to. So it's good that you have things to make it easier."
Propping an elbow on the table and resting his chin in his palm, Amhran swirls the last of his cocoa in the bottom of his mug, not trying to hide the way the treat has made him yearn for an afternoon nap - one of his favourite pastimes, in fact. "Mm? Well," he says, pursing his lips as he thinks, "I remember it was right when the void infection was starting to take hold in some regions, right? I feel like showing that something of Rae's could flourish even in the most harsh of terrains... it gives people hope, you know?" Or something like that.
Frowing a bit, unsure that his phrasing has been correct, Amhran is at least easily distracted by their swimming plans. "Ah, of course," he says with a nod. "It's a plan, then. Hopefully I'll be properly swimming by next Longheat."
