Darling please, just give us some time, and I swear we'll be alright
Wishes are simply all they have left at this point. Desires and longing thoughts that have no bearing on their current trajectory. They’re not without their place however, extending a modicum of understanding and bandaging up old wounds if nothing else. Reminding each other that while they may have been overlooked, may not have been told these things in the moment when they held most meaning, it can still be said now.
It’s easier to laugh, tired though it may be. They’ve both shed a little weight now. They can stand a little straighter, take deeper breaths, bear the rest of their burdens a little longer. Joking comes easier, and she chortles softly at his cheeky response. Belial’s warmth disappears from beneath her hand, and she replaces it instead with the contrasting chill of her glass. Swallowing what remains, she stands gracefully and follows in Deimos’ wake, Atlas stirring and treading behind her. There’s no reason to speak her gratitude right now. She knows in her heart that Deimos is aware of what this means to her.
If nothing else, they can keep each other company as they try to come to terms with their shared acute loneliness.
