EVIE
She preens both for her success and for his praise, pulling her legs from the now motionless roots and shaking her hair to dislodge any stubborn pine needles that had made it past her defenses. It doesn't work for all of them, but it's enough until she gets back to the Citadel.
Removing and holstering her shield on her back, Evie closes the distance between them, rising on her toes to gently kiss him before she even considers answering anything. Words mean less than lingering there with her mouth to his, gloved hands balanced on his shoulders. When she withdraws, she is pink-cheeked, eyes calm blue waters once more, free of the turmoil he'd found her with. "Much better. Thank you, Deimos." For coming after her, for proposing solutions to her nightmares, for helping distract her from the shadows they'll never fully rid themselves of. She brushes their foreheads together for a quick moment, driving home her sincerity, before she pulls away and gestures to the wood and pine needles scattered destructively around them, laughing. "That's two monsters now, think I qualify for the Guild?"

Don't look up, just let them think
There's no place else you'd rather be
