DEIMOS
The following statement made his gaze drop to the table, uncertain over all the other emotions it stirred. Rather than placate the fringes curling in on themselves, he gave a short smile, a nod of his head in understanding, going the self-deprecating route instead. “So you see why I rarely leave,” he winked, knowing there were fundamentals to that answer that laid beyond the simplistic. It had happened often in the past seasons, but that had been due to the political strife and the looming war – striking out of his home on multiple occasions simply so he could strive to protect the whole of Caido again. Picking his way out of that muddle too, he wrinkled his nose, juvenile once more. “I think it is good to explore though, and see more of the world. You would enjoy the Oerwoud.”
Deimos eyed the remaining portions of his cocoa as well, though he pondered whether he should be fetching more or gathering himself for another busy afternoon. But Amhran’s answer left him intrigued, as they’d had similar notions, head tilting vaguely as he listened. “Perhaps,” he mused. “Hope is sometimes hard to find. But I am glad Rae deigned to share you with us.” And at least the demigod was an example of those exact platitudes – never quite devolving into the despair or trepidation hovering on the sidelines of their latest agonizing haze.
As for swimming, he grinned again. “A good goal.” He could always take Erebos too – train the youth out of floaties.
