I'll leave my love hidden in the sun
A frown came over the young demigods face, and Seren looked displeased with Deimos' defeated tone.
"To return Halo to the Old Gods, as was your mission from the start," she replied, firm and almost disbelieving that he would have forgotten so soon. "Do you really think that removing Morgan once is enough? If I recall correctly, my Mother charged you with the continued protection of Halo, General. You have not been relieved of that duty just because Morgan is back to wreak havoc." Of course the people would end up taking the brunt of the pain and suffering, but that was always going to be the case. It did not make her happy to force decisions on others - Seren hated it, in all honesty - but it was a decision that had already been made.
"The people already made their choice when they accepted Noah and Hotaru as rulers. They only spoke up against the potential mistreatment of the Ascended and dangers of a war we all know is coming - not the allying with the Old Gods, against the Voice. If you are not going to take the region back by force, then what will you do? This was your task, Deimos. You are not allowed to just disappear into the Wilds and give it up." Even if he could. Even if he seemed rather inclined to do so, judging by the stubborn cast of his jaw and the flash of opposition in his eyes. Seren had no doubt that Safrin would have things to say about that as well. Unless the Sword intended to run from his goddess, as well?
Her quest seemed a rather small and petty thing compared to the fate of an entire region, and so Deimos talk of cloaks was met only with a curt nod. Folding her arms across the chest, Safrin's daughter kept gazing expectantly at her friend, waiting for answers.
