meet me where the falling stars live
i will wait for you
She doesn't have to turn around to know Deimos is there; she can hear him, smell him, feel him in the small space, a presence as familiar as the beat of her own heart. A heart which catches like her breath, leaving her unsteady and light-headed on the water, the world spinning beneath her feet. A million emotions cross through her mind, a thousand raging thoughts and screaming feelings-
-and she swallows, pushing them all away, her entire attention focused upon the task at hand. On Tanau and the way he illuminates the falls, the memory of the last time she saw him - of Kiada's fall - another distraction to swallow down.
Stepping across the water towards him, Amalia bows her head. "Thank you, Tanau," she sighs in relief. The heat that radiates him leaves beads of sweat upon her skin, but she stands against it, resolute. "I can cover you with my wings, if you allow it. Or carry you over the water's surface. Or both."
Amalia offers to shield Tanau from the water with her wings, and/or carry him over the surface of the water.
