Deimos
The Sword rarely took an afternoon away from Halo, but with new insights and information about various flora and fauna, he completed his duties for the morning, with promises of returning sooner rather than later, before snagging at skyports. Faster than his flying forms, it’d at least grant him the ability to complete other tasks when he came home, all the while gaining sagacity and wisdom from the Torchline locals.
It didn’t take him long to assemble some more notations from some of the citizens, and figuring he ought to bring back something else from his pursuits, perhaps a plant, an herb, or anything else noteworthy, he set his sights on isles he hadn’t seen in years.
Though it looked like he wasn’t alone in those notions – for no sooner had his long strides swept along a river, did he see another. If he looked closer, he might have only seen some recognition in the features of the individual – for he’d never met the stranger as a youth – but certainly had with his parents. Instead, crouching at the base of the basin, directly across from the unfamiliar soul, he washed his hands in the streamlined water, already rolling up his sleeves from the residual heat. “Hello,” he offered, but not much else, scrutinizing, waiting.

what does it mean to look upon a ruin
we are boneless. we are boiling hot blood.
we are boneless. we are boiling hot blood.
