I belong to you the way the moon belongs to the stars
Wherever Chuy comes from interests Amalia far less than what he intends to do, to bring to the world he has found himself in, the world into which she was born. Earth is not an unfamiliar name, a seeming origin for many others, but Caido is what matters now. Caido and Kiada and their gods and their world, something so many Outlanders have treated with flippant disregard. At least Chulane has already won points through his contribution to the fields of the Grounds. Though the fact that he will soon return to Halo leaves something sour in her mouth.
So they plan to retain distance, working through a relationship built upon the portals. Amalia cannot rightly say what she thinks of this idea; she has lived in confines for so long that any distance feels almost insurmountable, the world still incoherently vast to her mind. Chewing thoughtfully on a bite of turkey, she lets him finish his declaration, stashing away her judgment for now.
Deimos takes the lead both in questions and gifts, Amalia remaining quietly thoughtful, her dark eyes only leaving Chulane to see how Kiada will react to the present. Only after that is finished does she return to the man, too severe to soften her line of questioning now that the door is ajar. "What do you think of the gods?"

the stars in your eyes will bring me back
and once again, i will kiss the sky
and once again, i will kiss the sky
