Hotaru Though there are many regrets the woman has, she can't help but add this last small thing to the weight on her shoulders. Wishing she had been there when Deimos had need of her, when she could have been of use during Zariah's reign. Spared them some of the pain, hastened her departure. Even just been there so that she had firsthand information instead of relying so strongly on Deimos for every little thing as she slowly gets her feet beneath her in this new land. Hums softly as he speaks of what few abilities he knows of, her own electricity sparking weakly along her fingers as she thinks. "If I can strengthen my lightning, I can subvert her attempts. It is a chaotic element, but easily redirected." How quickly she can do so is still unclear, but she intends to find out. "Luckily I'm not above it either," she says with a dark, twisting smile. Oh, she may hate this lass already, but it's nice to have a proper contender sometimes. Someone to strive harder and harder to take out, to take down, to quell beneath her heel. Arrogance is not something she seeks out, but confidence? Determination? Oh, Hotaru has both in spades. She may be weaker in comparison magically, but she has not crippled kingdoms with her good looks alone. And when Deimos offers himself, she smiles softly, uncrossing her legs in preparation to depart after a few more minutes of spending time together perhaps. "Of course." She would want nobody else by her side when she storms Halo. But for now, there is tea and a crackling fire, and she is happy to remain in Deimos' company until the tides turn. - FIN
