Noah

the truth is what remains
the truth is what you save from the fire

There would be time for talking, but it wasn't yet. Noah wasn't about to have the conversation that needed to happen before the ears of the shields. There were too many of these men and women who were his friends, but also an equal number who held him in high regards due to his status and title. There was not the same room for vulnerability with them than there was with Deimos.

Noah moved around the battlefield and dodged several elemental attacks, a smirk still playing on his face despite the feelings unlocked across the attuned bond. He crossed behind Deimos and ducked slightly, rolling his shoulders as a jet of water (that he was sure would have taken his skin off) shot over him.

you fight for what you love, don't matter if it hurts
you find out what it's worth and you let the rest burn
