Amalia
the shield of safrin
To think that he has been here all along, on the other side of the upstairs landing from her, visible yet unseen. A number hanging crookedly on the door is scarcely ten off the one that dangles from theirs. Perhaps Deimos has seen him, will know him. She will have to ask, if he is in.He is not. Amalia makes her way back to their shared room and finds it empty but for the scattered evidences of their brief habitation. Sweeping some food into a basket, she pauses a moment over a small blue box, hesitating before snatching it, too, and depositing it below the pile of food.
It is hardly five minutes later when she returns, knocking on Finn's door before slipping inside with a hesitant, low, "I'm back. Deimos wasn't in no." Making her way to the table - in the same place as hers but mirrored, a little disorienting - Amalia begins to unload her bounty. "I forgot to ask- do you have plates?"
someday we'll find what we're looking for
or maybe not
maybe we'll find something much greater
