Deimos
Dare we know the halo's hanging low
Amplifying, inciting, and goading laughter was a stark preference to casting wakes over haunting refrains – and so the Cheshire grin remained as the warmer sounds echoed along the house. “Please tell me you are not one of those individuals who wants to tame everything.” Thoughts reeled briefly to Ray and the plight of the squidling, doomed and damned as soon as the pitiful claims had been made. The mental image of the ridiculous, and very large, blind rats meandering around Halo half-wild and rampaging after citizens wouldn’t sit well with him after the first five rounds of amusement. Probably.The smile didn’t relent thereafter, as notes of seriousness threatened – because he wasn’t going to be tormented, troubled, or beleaguered any longer by the mentions of those who’d cast them out – and had no intention of leaving her amidst that requiem either. The Sword mused and machinated rather than cut his tongue and make mentioning shields a thorn; he was surrounded by them day in and day out. Eyes downcast for a moment, concentrating bending and honing on ensuring the supplies were adequate, he lifted his head back up to meet her gaze. “Is it lightweight or heavy?”
Rolling up his sleeves once more, his brow arched at her excitement, and the truth of the matter. “Fair,” came with a lighthearted shrug; not even ashamed. While she measured and mixed the dry proportions, he nodded at the next step, snagging at the eggs, and easily decimating them into cracked fixtures. With manner of precision and meticulousness, they gave way without a single shell stuck to their wares. And then he uncapped the vanilla, permitting a few drops into the concoction, watching her from the corner of his eye, seeing if there’d be an argument about it.
Giving her an opportunity to blend, whip, and beat as she so inclined, Deimos snagged at the flour, distributing it along the countertop and along the molds, ensuring neither would be sticking to one another one, once they started laying the dough out. Some immediately flickered in a decent cloud over his tunic.
