KIADA

You think I'll be the night sky,
so that you can be the star?

It doesn’t take the Harpy long to arrive – in fact, she’s left the Bakery with refreshments and snacks for the weary that grow exhausted (perhaps for the first time they’ve picked up a weapon, trudged out into the fray, saw battle for what it was and what it wasn’t), and she moves swiftly to reach the Guild. Ronin had been kind in offering the location, and Deimos had come prepared with extra weapons. Kiada didn’t have much to offer other than the ability to keep those that come hydrated. She’d rather not see any of them pass out.

She arrives and sets the drinks out but keeps the snacks covered as she turns to look at Deimos with a wide grin of hello and “I did something important too”, if only to joke and play with him. Auni is here too, somewhere around the arena, watching diligently and curiously. And she makes sure to spot him before she goes to stand beside Deimos and inspect the weapons as well. “These will do nicely.” She says, an almost joking tone to her voice as though Deimos would bring anything less than strong, nice, practice weapons.

And then, she – like him – waits for those to arrive.

i'll swallow you whole.
