[SE] golden gravity and half-forged knives

we've been living on a fault line
and for a while, you were all mine

“I keep them in line.” Kiada touts playfully, her tail snapping lightly as if in explanation enough that she manages to keep things easy and comfortable. Not that she thinks Deimos would think she’s lying. But she lingers close as his smile softens, and she immediately knows it’ll be good news based off his expressions alone.

And of course, it is, and as the pause occurs, her eyebrows shoot up to the sky and she barely has time to silence the scree that starts to leave her when he drops the other bombshell. It slips out of her after, right alongside the rain that screams and thunders around them, flinching slightly and curling into Deimos’ side as the rain starts to get back to somewhat normal.

Glaring up at the sky, though, she shakes it off to look back at the Warden with an easier smile now that she realizes it’s the rain. “I’m so happy for you!” She slips back into it like a worn coat, the tip of her tail flicking back and forth. “And I would love to babysit, thank you very much. When is Evie expecting?” She asks, brightening immensely.

KIADA

i've spent a lifetime giving you my heart,
i swear that i'll be yours forever, till forever falls apart
