Hooves dissolved into hands, scales fading to skin. The longma’s strength folded inward, ribs tightening, spine shortening, until Noah stood on two feet again, breath fogging in the cold. Speaking of, he started, still choosing to use the attuned bond to speak rather than break the solace of the starlit night, have you ever thought about creating something like the King’s End refuge here in Halo? protected stretch of land… somewhere people could run to if things ever turned bad again. His tone held no judgment, only a steady curiosity.
He crouched beside the bucket he’d filled, steadying it with one hand while he retrieved the other, waiting waterskin with the other.

I bet he’s putting Evie through the wringer. He mused, looking towards the Sword with an eye-wrinkling smirk.

Noah
I still believe we can live forever
You and I we begin forever now
You and I we begin forever now
