Warmth arrives first; not the blunt heat of flame, nor the oppressive press of summer sun, but something gentler and far more intimate, as though the chill of Halo has simply decided it no longer has any authority here. Starlight gathers above the altar in a slow, deliberate unfurling, threads of gold and pearl-white light weaving themselves into form until Safrin stands within the shrine, luminous and unhurried. The long days of LongHeat temper the air around her, though the world beyond the dome remains sharp and alpine; her presence alone makes the contrast unmistakable. Where she stands, the cold loosens its grip.
Her gaze lowers to the offerings first, and a smile curves across her lips; not indulgent, but pleased in a way that suggests appreciation rather than surprise. Fingers brush over the braided ribbons, the charms catching and refracting the light as though eager to be noticed, and the bracelets earn a longer look still, her expression softening with clear approval at the care taken in their crafting. When she lifts her eyes again, they shine all the brighter for it. "It is good to see you again so soon, Deimos."
She listens without interruption, her attention fixed and absolute as Deimos speaks. When his request is laid bare, her head inclines in a graceful nod, constellations shifting faintly along her skin as if in quiet agreement. There is a private satisfaction beneath her calm that this work, begun under other hands (Frey's, specifically), should be carried forward now between the two of them.
"Of course," she replies simply. "Halo has endured much, and those who shelter beneath its dome deserve comfort."
Halo has been given a Regional Quest!
Tasks. There is no time limit. There are currently 8 active Halovians. This means 4 unique characters have to participate. Characters can participate more than once. Deimos must participate in at least 2 threads.
1. A PQ of 4 Halovians ensuring that the previously dug trench around the perimeter of the Citadel is still in good shape, making any repairs as needed
2. 3 threads gathering celestial-related materials (can be as literal or abstract as you like, so long as Safrin would approve)
3. Commission a PC from the Guilded Market to make you Blue Goldstone to incorporate into the altars
4. A PQ of 3 Halovians placing various altars around the Citadel to house Safrin's light (3 must be completed first)
