Relief struck Noah the moment Deimos' eyes opened. The rigid tension that had locked through his body, though, did not loosen but a fraction. His ears remained angled toward the surrounding jungle, his glacier gaze sweeping the glowing Peepholes with lingering distrust. At the Sword's question, Noah's attention settled fully on him. Confusion lingered in the older man's voice, and Noah found himself searching Deimos' expression for signs that something was still wrong. Whatever he had experienced had clearly been more than ordinary sleep.

Remaining beside them while trying to make sense of what had happened seemed foolish. Let's get a little farther from this first. He suggested, caution threading through the bond. If something here can put you down that easily, I'd rather not stand in the middle of it while we figure out what happened.
