you are such a soft and messy thing, nobody knows how to take care of you
As she passes by, newly laden with her wonderful bag, Hotaru presses her fingertips to the shrine and sends a simple prayer to Frey. It hasn’t been long since they parted, but the Valkyrie is a woman of faith - surprising to some, perhaps - and the action brings peace to herself more than anything.
Deimos’ familiar bulk is impossible to miss, and the blonde diverts her path easily to join him. The artifacts and materials spread around on the cold stone make it clear what he is planning to work on. Why he chose here of all places is something Ru can’t even pretend to understand, but even his unfortunate choice in places to sit won’t dissuade her from forcing her companionship upon him.
“I lost Ru’in’s lantern in the fire that took the house in Torchline,” she admits softly, from where she stands just behind his shoulder. Of course Sunjata had thrown Lusea’s lantern in her face after they’d burned the guild, but that was par for the course. Only his hurts and losses mattered. “I don’t even know if making one would help. Kiada said she was unsuccessful in freeing his soul.” Hotaru thinks of it from time to time, wondering if her niece will never seek to finish her quest now that she is Ascended. Why would she see that fate as a curse now that she has chosen it for herself?
