[PQ] the earth is spinning; we can't just stand on it

SUNJATA

the flood

i'm nothing more than a page unwritten
on the pavement, blowing in the wind

He did make a promise, didn’t he? To help find lilies? He had. And that’s why he finds his way back here. Without Nate, tucked away at the Kraai with Neron while he still tries to figure out just how much he could help before he had to go home and assume the duties just recently gifted to him.

It felt like a lot, so in order to keep from drowning within it too much, Sunjata focuses on a list kept. A list he mentally keeps to check off, to feel better once the tasks started lifting. And this one? Finding himself back here? That’s yet another check mark off.

So he arrives without much by the means of fanfare, a bag on his shoulder to stuff the clothes from Halo in, other clothes prepared to get wet. It’s easier this time without worrying of the lava and Nate, and he finds that he can breathe a bit easier with the humidity rather than the constant clench of his heart. He spies Deimos as he makes his way further in, falling the signs, hand lifting in a small wave of greeting, before he waits for anyone else who wishes to join as well.

you win a lot, and you lose
just a little bit more than you gained in the end
