DEIMOS
In the stillness of his silence, brooding over wounds he’d thought long since healed, the regrets and rue began to cluster and collect. Immersing himself in the breadth of quiet, striving to repair the opened lacerations, he simply nodded his head, aching, striving, to return some semblance of normalcy where one could forgo and forget for a moment. “Thank you.” The promise was enough; even if there was nothing to be done.
Instead, he could peel away into easier threads of machinations and dispersions; tactical diversions. Letters meant to pierce and slay and root out poor impending dilemmas, written words meant to convey and express the lack of consequences and accountability. The Sword nodded again, fingers idle and digging into the wood grains of the table. “We can help if you need it.” And as for her returning to Halo? It might depend on circumstances surrounding safety, security, and any other information they could snag. “You do not need to decide now. Maybe after we meet with Sah?” His eyes flickered back to Noah, and then to Cordelia once more. She’d likely want to see her family again, and trust they were all right.
And then put her ears to the ground.
