It's too much to bear my darlin', the weight of the world
And I would carry it for you
"My brother Ezekiel left Halo the day we found out about the portal. He didn't know -- we didn't know -- anything about it. But he went through it without a second thought. I haven't seen him since. I'll get letters, every now and again, so I know he's still out there. But I wish he was here." It was the only thing that Noah had to show the empathy he felt towards the Valkyrie and her daughter's distance to her. As far as he knew, Flora was her only living child, just as Ezekiel was Noah's only living blood relative. While it wasn't the same, there were lots of years Noah spent as Ezekiel's surrogate parent to have a deeper pang in his heart than lost brotherhood.
"She will be able to do a lot in this world." Noah sucked in a knowing breath. "The way that she has aged," Read: god-driven, "is enough of a testament to that." There were some that the gods chose to age differently. He wondered idly if it was as common an occurrence in the Hollowed Grounds as it seemed to be in Caido at large since the felling of the barrier, for Noah couldn't remember it happening much during his own childhood (that dragged on painfully long).
