DEIMOS
Deimos fell back into his residual silence, listening, concocting, conducting any number of thoughts. He said nothing about the Order, even though he didn’t trust them; he trusted Noah at the heart of it all. His jaw clenched more than once, fingers restlessly toying along the wood grain.
He only raised his head at the insinuation of Maeve – and though time had passed since Sah and Cordelia had attempted to ease anything out of the insinuations of their debacle, or when Noah and Hotaru had strived to balance alliances, he wasn’t certain Torchline’s standpoint had altered. Would she profess to stay out of things again, leaving her head in the sand? “Do you believe she will have changed her mind?” He paused, contemplating, eyes narrowing a fraction. “We are all aware of Safrin’s ties to the sea. It is inevitable. But some do not seem to think that matters.” Or at least, were pretending. The discussion he’d had with Gideon, for what it was worth, reverberated through his head. “I can also talk to her, if you are stretched too thin.”
