i will endure the night for the promise of light
Noah knew that Deimos was a man of the people. By that, Noah had experienced the Sword doing nitty-gritty tasks shoulder to shoulder with all walks of people in Halo. From hunting, defending, building, cleaning, Noah had witnessed Deimos do it all. The Sentinel never questioned the man's love and loyalty to this frozen place. Evie, though, had been doing the same. Noah just hadn't seen it in the same way as he had Deimos. Evie's life here came at a time when Noah's life got bigger than Halo. He was called away to business that dealt with the whole realm more than just staying and fortifying his home, thus he had less experience with the red-haired woman making roots in this place than he did with the behemoth.
Nodding along as the conversation continued, Noah leaned forward a little. "I am not sure the status of the rest of the settled lands at this point." Noah said. "I am sure, like us, they are recovering as best they can. I haven't seen Ronin since the Draig, but I'd be curious to know the state of Stormbreak. I think it would benefit us to continue to increase our relations with them in particular -- they are the most advanced without the touch of the Voice." Still speaking in rough draft thoughts, Noah's mind was moving a million miles a minute.
