finding out about bravery

Evie

Come rest your bones next to me
And toss all your thoughts out to the sea

Assured that Deimos is handling all the minutiae of their son's whirlwind, Evie only spares a moment to shoot him a grin over Erebos' shoulder before devoting the entirety of her attention back to the boy and his new bonded. It's adorable to see a bond at this young - they're perfectly matched! Instead of an adult taking care of a young animal unexpectedly tied to their soul, these two are peas in a pod, both as confused as the other but with no context or history to lend fear or trepidation to the event.

The newly dubbed Orsino yips in what sounds like emphatic agreement moments after Erebos' declaration. Really, what else could she possibly say even if it was a stray and not a companion? It's too cute!

"Yes you do! Forever, because your hearts and souls are tied together forever-n-ever," she assures, voice and smile both softening with each word. Let there never be fear of any other fate for these two.

Readjusting so that kneeling hurts a bit less given her protruding stomach, Evie taps her chin while humming as if this is a grand mystery for them to pair up and solve. "Well, let's think. What do you normally want and need when you first come home? Or what do dad and I normally do for you that's part of your routine?" Things like food, bathing, bonding time - things that will prompt him to tune into his companion's needs and become accustomed to taking care of one another.

I'll pull up each of our anchors
So we can get lost, you and me
