Evie pulls herself closer as the plate is set down and Deimos sits beside it, idle hands already plucking a carrot from the pile and enjoying the sharp resounding crack that echoes slightly in the cavern. Looking up at the unexpected question, she swallows her mouthful and tilts her head in a so-so gesture.
“Before the passes thawed enough for my letter to get to you, I visited there briefly to collect a few medicinal items I needed,” she notes pleasantly, recalling an afternoon spent in comparatively frozen waters to what they linger in now, sharing mussels with a merman she’d just met. “But I haven’t left Halo since the start of the season aside from going to the festival. Why?” Curiosity tilts her face up towards him as she nibbles further on her carrot, wondering if some adventure or threat awaits on those sunny shores.
