DEIMOS
And in your darkest hour,
I hold secrets flame
He washed his hands after ensuring the surface was scrubbed down; not the table where formal plans were drawn up, but one towards the back, utilitarian in its uses. The beast laid out several clothes too, drawing long hair up, back, and out of the way, before he began plucking feathers out of the closest ningo, stuffing them in a nearby bag, intending to find a purpose for each part and portion of the sacrificial birds.
The conversation, though often not welcomed simply because he wasn’t a fan of discourse, was a range of distractions, idle in deftness of his hands. The General’s brows furrowed a fraction, contemplating the meaning behind something big within the earth, and how they’d missed it the first time. Maybe the others had gone farther, reaching, reaching, reaching beyond the storm, until that figment emerged. “No idea what it could have been?” Another form of a landshark? Or were some other creature they’d yet to discover, some other monster, beast, or guardian of the dirt, loam, and soil? master of nothing place; of recoil and grace |

Love mends even the broken parts As Deimos started filling one of the bags, Loren nodded. Picking up the feathers he'd plucked, he added them to the sack as well. That done, he picked up the knife. Chopping off the bird's head, he set it aside, following by its legs, which he placed in a separate pile for stock-making. Shaking his head at the General's question, the healer shifted his grip. Making sure he had the gland he wanted isolated from the rest of the bird, he sliced it off. "No idea. Nor do I particularly want or intend to find out." Sighing, he glanced up at the other man. "I heard you did some work on the training grounds. How did that go?" loren

Love mends even the broken parts Gland removed, Loren flipped the bird around. He began to make careful incisions in the Ningo's neck. Pausing, he slid his fingers inside to pull out the organs from the creature's throat. Once he'd partially removed them, he turned it on its stomach to cut away from that angle. Eventually, he was able to remove everything from that end of the bird that wasn't supposed to be there. Pausing, he snorted at Deimos' question. "Do I think the Eirachi will blow up the Palace and send her cultists to assault us? Or do I think Zariah will sacrifice her kid?" Growling, he shrugged. "At least Zariah's dead. And there's no Palace to destroy. As for the rest of it, I'm sure there will be some disaster or another. We'll just have to pick up the pieces like we always do." Sighing, he cut into the Ningo's gut. Eying the wishbone that Deimos held, the healer jerked his chin at it. "Remind me what you need this for?" loren

Love mends even the broken parts Loren let out a huff of laughter as Deimos brought up the cannibals. Pulling out the bird's intestines, the healer shook his head. "We've thinned their numbers out pretty well, but you're right we're probably due for another attack some time soon." He yanked with a little bit more force than was strictly necessary at the thought of yet another excursion to Whitebrim. Nodding at the explanation about the task, his lips twitched. "Don't suppose I could ask you for help with my own task from the gods. Fair warning, it's from Frey and not something you'll enjoy." He inclined his head at the wishbone the General had taken. "What else do you need for the devices?" loren

Love mends even the broken parts Letting out a huff of laughter at Deimos' response, Loren nodded. "I'll do that." He set aside the Ningo he'd butchered before grabbing a new and started to clean it. Humming as he did so, he found himself smiling at the simple and familiar motions. Glancing up as the General explained the remaining tasks, the healer tilted his head to the side. "Astra would probably pout if I went on a luxere hunt, but if you need a hand taking down an Ursur, I'd be happy to assist." His lips twitched upwards. "I've helped kill two already. One with nothing more than a length of cord." Shaking his head at the memory, he snorted. loren

Love mends even the broken parts Loren snorted at Deimos' obvious relief when the healer dropped the topic of Frey. However, as promised, he didn't say anything further about them. Instead, he just continued butchering his Ningo. Grinning at the General's plan, the Firebrand nodded. "Smart. Astra will be much relieved." Letting out a huff of laughter, he glanced up at the other man. "A hunter once tried to buy her off me," Loren drawled. Laughing outright, he shrugged at the question. Flushing a bit, he rubbed the back of his head. "I, uh, I jumped on its back and strangled it to death. Not the best idea but it got the job done." loren

Love mends even the broken parts Loren raised his eyebrows at Deimos' question. Frowning, the healer shook his head. "Luxere meat is the most common meat in Halo besides Ningo. You've almost certainly had it at many meals here. It's the most common game the hunters bring back" Shrugging, he brought his knife down to sever the bird's legs. "We don't need their light to drive away monsters, and during LongNight we have fires to brighten the endless dark." Rolling his eyes, he shifted to cutting off the Ningo's head before pulling out its crop. "It was a training exercise run by Zariah. Use my weakest magic, which happened to be summoning, against an Ursur. Believe me, not my choice." Grimacing, he brought the blade down with more force than necessary. loren

Love mends even the broken parts Snorting at Deimos' single word response, Loren continued working on the bird he was currently on. His gaze was trained on the Ningo. Slicing the unwanted bits off and tossing them aside, he added it to the first carcass when he was finished butchering it. "That's one word for it." He let out a huff of laughter. Pausing before continuing on to another bird, he drummed his fingers on the table. Finally, he nodded. "It was. My magic definitely became more effective afterwards." Shrugging, he spread his arms a bit. "Jace is supposedly in charge now, but we haven't had classes in...over a year now." He grimaced. Then he narrowed his eyes at the General. "Why do you ask? Looking to add magical training to the martial training you already conduct?" The healer grinned at the other man. loren
