He makes no comment on her snark, and she doesn’t particularly expect him to. Not as she glances to him with a raised brow as he looks over to the unicorn by the hearth, as the flames in the fireplace flicker light around the room and warmth – a warmth she doesn’t feel anymore – but her eyes land back on her friend, a casual, small smile formed and nearly permanent on her lips. She’s here for him, and will be. She will not let her Ascension take her from him and her friends, those she cares for, those she wishes to help.
It just makes it easier for her to be that person. And it seems to her as though Deimos can see it, can feel it too as he smirks and snickers to her, a quiet quelling of her curiosity. He says he’ll try, and she nods in agreement. Sometimes that’s all you can do, and she bobs her head in a small nod to him. If it’s a lie, she doesn’t pick up on it. She trusts that there are enough of those around now that have shown him just how important he is to them that he’ll do everything he can to keep his heart beating in his chest.
She stands, looking to Deimos with those scheming, unconvinced sapphire gaze, though humor is laced beneath them. “I hope you manage to do all it is that you wish to do.” She says softly with a smile hanging on her lips. “If you don’t come see me when you’re back, I will come find you.” She says, an edge of a promise and a dare to her voice. She will see him one way or another.
