[RQ] and the shadows fall behind you

Cordelia

Except Cordelia is much more agile in this form than he gives her credit for. Sure, the Luxere might of had a longer stride, but she couldn't take the tight corners of the wall without potentially slipping on ice. It would be much too difficult to maneuver. This way, Cordelia could outpace him and leap over whatever obstacles he put in her way. With sure movements and speed to aid her, Cordelia sprints along the top of the wall, ducking and weaving as she goes. It isn't until she reaches the other side that she shifts back, grinning like a fool as she looks back at Sah, hands braced on her hips.

"You're such a slow poke!" She calls out to him, turning to survey the spot, head tilting to the side. "This seems like a pretty sunny spot." Cordelia muses, basking in the cool sunlight that beams down on the top of the wall.

I don't want to waste away

I want to live another day

DEIMOS

the ocean does not apologize for its depth
and the mountains do not seek forgiveness

Foxes sprinted and snow moved and wildness echoed along the walls, but the sun continued climbing. He watched, dutiful and conscientious, as it lingered over the surface of the ice, then rallied, stretching its beams across the rest of the world. Notes were made, eyes were shaded, and proportions of light were studied.

By the end, as they all sauntered and slowed near the back proportions of the Citadel, where it wasn’t framed by mountains and summits, there the beams lingered the most. As they should’ve, all day long, sweeping over the horizon, not blocked by anything at all. Potent and strong, stalwart and beckoning, exactly what they needed for defensive and offensive maneuvers. “Good work,” he echoed back to the racing duo. “This should be it.” One last decision made, he made the final addition in his papers. Then they could report back to the rest of Halo, and start the other proportions.

for the space they take
and so, neither shall I
