who we are and all that we're trying to be
Part of the problem was that the council members were also involved with a horde of other dilemmas, trials, and tribulations that surrounded LongNight’s reign. Years of experience for Naturals meant they stayed behind because they knew how to do handle themselves, the two other seasons of Outlanders stomping within meant they wanted to try and alter something so it went off better than the years prior, less death, less destruction. Deimos had once again immersed himself right into the same quandary, and as they went back and forth over who would stay, who would go, he sighed, miring and mulling over a series of possibilities. Samuel volunteered himself for Torchline, but Halo remained up in the air. “If we can discuss things with Evie, she would likely be the most capable for Halo.” She’d already been there after all, was more familiar, more acclimated. If they could get ahold of her via letter, or at an upcoming event, they might be better off. Otherwise, they’d have to find some other candidate. “I know Kiada is intending to go to Halo,” and his stare went straight to Rexanna, “She is not a council member, but she would be another set of eyes and strength.” The youth would likely yearn to take on such a role, prove herself, a representation of the Grounders. If the idea was dismissed, that was fine too, but it was an alternative to nothing at all.
As for the rest, he listened again, nodding in agreement towards one central location for the rest of them, save for the individuals who would stay tucked within their homes. The other individual noted via correspondence, however, was intriguing simply because the information came from elsewhere. If snow was coming soon, they could get started without delay (some portions he already had anyway)– save for the snow moss, which would come in Deepfrost. It simply meant they had no time to lose, and he had no issue with getting their work done ahead of time, especially if there was some other doom and gloom looming in the distance.
