do not fear the dark, wolf cub, for when the sun leaves the world,
There’s a soft breath of relief at the mention that Evie was doing well – of course, she’d heard about Sam (what Ascended hadn’t?) and the multitudes of things that had occurred after, wars and hardships and difficulties, returning to Halo for seeking out a purpose. Something she understands well enough as well – so she offers a quiet hum of acknowledgement until the mention of Deimos and Evie dating that has the soft hum shifting immediately into a squeak. “Dating?!” She asks, as if a lifetime had passed between when they’d last spoken.
Which, on second thought, it has. She barely even hears the fact that Noah and Cordelia are married – still untrusting of Noah after the fight over the relic in the Sea of Glass, but she nods along with the information as if she’s understood it, until the question of Chuy has her withdrawing into herself slightly. Her smile falters, all amusement shifting into one of regret and worry. “I… Don’t know.” She admits honestly, lips pursing slightly as she shakes her head and lets her arms cross over her chest, anxiously pulling her (longer than it’s ever been) dark hair over her shoulder.
“When the war started I left him a note and slipped away in the night. We’d been wandering a bit before then and I just didn’t want him to be around to witness anything if things went bad with the Voice being gone.” The frown tugs on her face once more before she lets her gaze focus on a few threads of his shirt, looking through him more than at him for this conversation. “I thought it was best. And when the Voice was gone and nothing really happened, well, I… Couldn’t face going back. So I’m trying to start over.” She knows it makes her a terrible person to leave Chulane behind, and yet it was the only path forward she can see.
