DEIMOS
And in your darkest hour,
I hold secrets flame
Summer storms weren’t anything out of the ordinary in Halo. For a formidable climate, it rarely altered course in its denizens – so much that seasons persisted in much the same way. So it was no surprise when Deimos arrived at the guild hall to find portions of its roof blown off – likely from strong gales, rapacious edges of ice, and anything in between.

Rolling up his sleeves and sighing, he knew full well it would take several hours out of his day to repair the building – and it couldn’t be left to sit there until he was done with other duties. By then, the wear and tear could be detrimental. Withholding another long breath, he puffed out his cheeks, and instead of miring in irritation, opted to begin with inspecting the damage.

It only took moments to shift from eagle to glide over to the roof, and man again, lingering on the edges, surveying the depth of holes and where shingles had peeled away. His eyes flickered upon the dashed ones some yards off into the snow, black and overt against the outcropping of ivory. Forming a mental checklist, he kneeled and crouched along the flatter portions, gloves hands grasping on one of the shingles left barely holding on, and tugging it free, intending to start anew.

Noah was looking for Deimos. He needed to tell him the news of the twins birth in person. This was not something Talyson could take to him, or even sent tied to Eira's claws. This was joyous news that his friend would want to hear from him. So, when Cordelia's mother and sisters came to spend the day with her and the twins, Noah let himself out.

He teleported first to the guildhall, only to find the path ahead scattered with the remnants of the roof. "Oh, shit." Noah said under his breath, bending to grab up the shingles as he walked up the path. Another shingle came spiraling down towards him, and Noah sidestepped to avoid it hitting his head. Cupping a hand against his forehead, the hunter looked up to the roof. "Dei, are you up there?"

DEIMOS
And in your darkest hour,

The buoyancy and joy flickering over his senses had his prickly, irritated nature confused – brows furrowing as he pried another shingle from its denizen, gone to the rest of its broken and discarded brethren down below. Recognizing it moments later as Noah’s, he straightened out his stature from the roof, puzzled and perplexed all the more. The Sword would probably feel foolish for not guessing outwardly as to the hows and whys, but with nothing but hours of work in front of him, his machinations had been centered squarely on alleviating the current issue.

The Sentinel’s voice called out an instant later, and Deimos leaned over the side, cupping his hands around his mouth as his low rumble carried. “Yes. Fixing the roof.” Rather than muddle and mire about in uncertainty, he jutted his jawline towards the advisor. “Something happen?”

Once Deimos stood to his full height and his presence was unmistakable, Noah smiled. He set down his gathered shingles, noting the damage as he did so. His face and the hum from his throat displayed his understanding now of Deimos throwing them down. Using his There in a Flash magic, Noah poofed from his spot he was standing and appeared on the roof before the Warden.

"They're here." Noah said, crouching low and using his hands and feet to gain his best balance on the shingle-mottled roof. He couldn't help the brilliant, bright joy that burst across the attuned bond. As forceful as a sudden tidal wave and yet as warm as the best summer's day, it would be easily overwhelming to someone who didn't know the Sentinel as well as Deimos did.

And in your darkest hour,

Prying away at the last of the damaged portions, all that was left was fixing the gauged hole and then replacing the shingles; which meant he’d need to create several more – and his mind began to spiral with the growth of the project before him, gaze casually checking the horizon for the amount of daylight left.

But Noah’s presence instantly near, via teleportation, and barrage of happiness across the Attuned proportions left his brows still curiously furrowed, until the revelation made itself known. “Ah, finally,” he uttered, losing the grumpy exterior and frustration, trading it for contentment for Noah’s growing family. He gave the Sentinel a rough pat on the shoulder alongside his broad grin. “Congratulations.” Then a slew of thoughts emerged; and though the Sword was certain Noah would have mentioned it – the notions didn’t quite cease. “Cordelia doing all right?” He presumed Evie could always be sent over for healing purposes. “Do you need anything?”

Noah wasn't focused on the state of the roof, really. He knew Deimos was up here working, but couldn't see much past the brim of his own nose. He nearly vibrated with the happiness he felt. "Yes, she's strong." Noah nodded fiercely, though Deimos needed little reminding in that regard.

"Yes, for you to meet them." His pride was endless in this moment, and he wanted nothing more than for his friends to share in even just a sliver of that. He wasn't sure how Deimos felt about children, let alone infants, but Noah just wanted to show off his babies. That was when he started to actually see what Deimos was doing. The bad shingles had all been torn off and now needed to be replaced. "I'll help you work on this, and then we can go." He declared said.

Then, without any more hesitation, Noah set to work like a buzzing little bee.

In another time and place, Deimos might not have been the individual believed to have ever interacted with children. But in this day and age, after raising Kiada, and always catching a watchful eye over Halo’s little hordes, the ease in Noah’s assertions didn’t trouble or vex him. Save for maybe the mild apprehension of not holding them properly. “Of course,” he responded to both Cordelia’s strength and the mention of the twins. “Do they have names?” The Sentinel and One Shot certainly had enough time to pick them out – figuring they’d be the type of parents to have several lined up in advance.

“Thank you,” and he nodded at Noah’s insistence at assistance; creating several shingles, and maneuvering hammers, nails, in place for the man to utilize as well.

At Deimos' agreement Noah's inward happiness only increased, which hardly seemed feasible. Deimos was his closest friend, after all, with all of those he grew up with shoulder to shoulder and arm in arm having passed at this point. "Margot Rose and Marcus Korbin." Noah beamed, though his eyes shifted down to the work before them.

The warden used his magic to manifest the parts they would need. Noah took up a hammer and several nails, taking the heads of them and placing them between his teeth to ready for easy transfer. Shuffling carefully on the roof, Noah slid a shingle into place. He used one hand to hold it and the other to hammer it in place, carefully keeping it from shifting as he took his hand off to place nails. Once his teeth were empty again, Noah spoke as he gathered more supplies and scuttled to a different section of roof. "They're perfect, Deimos, I swear it." His words were muffled as he tried to hold some nails and talk at the same time.

Committing those names to memory, he simply listened to Noah revel in enthusiasm. Shaking his head, amused, he crouched and began putting the new shingles in place. Both hammers were swift, and he maneuvered upwards to better angles as the Sentinel remained in one area – inspecting frequently, to ensure this sort of thing didn’t occur again (at least, not until the next massive storm).

Creating more shingles further along, and repeating the same patterns, his eyes flicked back to Noah as the advisor’s words were muffled by nails. The semblances of pride rampaging through the bond were formidable nuances, causing the Sword to follow through on his own half-grins, striving to form jocular semblances through it all. “Going to show them off around Halo?” He wouldn’t put it past the demigod.

”Have you and Evie thought about kids?” The hunter asked, cocking his head to the side curiously. Noah and Deimos had never had this conversation. For him, it was the natural order of things. He had always wanted a wife and children, to nourish their lives here in Halo and continue the Olson line. He knew, though, that not everyone shared this same vision for their lives.

Noah continued to work, only lifting his eyes from the shingles beneath his hands momentarily to see if Deimos’ face contorted at the question. Doubtful, with the man’s general stoicism, but if it would happen it was likely to happen around Noah given the depth of their friendship. Taking a few more nails, Noah set a shingle and moved on the next, rinsing and repeating.

Concentration honed between Noah’s good news and his work, he hadn’t expected the inquiry. His eyes widened a fraction, before his gaze returned to the shingles, hammer, and nails, only the slightest of grins tucked away in the corner of his mouth. “That will stay between Evie and I.” They had discussed it, but as the Sentinel noted inwardly, there were other things to be taken care of beforehand. Additionally, despite being close friends with the demigod, the Sword valued the notions of privacy where he could snag them, and rallied straight back into stoicism and nonchalance.

On a joke, he shrugged his shoulders, emerging with a bark of laughter. “Besides, I figured you and Cordelia would populate Halo on your own.”

Deimos’ answer wasn’t totally unexpected, or even shocking, but it definitely wasn’t satisfying. If the hunter wasn’t so consumed in his own joy and pride for his new progeny, he might have been stung that Noah wasn’t in a circle of trust enough to be able to discuss such a topic with the Sword. But, nothing could bring Noah down right now. So with a pursing of his lips and a nod of his head, Noah accepted what Deimos said and kept working.

He lifted his hand to indicate to the warden that he needed more shingles before he shifted himself on the roof towards the next spot that needed to be covered. ”If Cordelia had it her way there’d be a hundred little Olsons tugging at your cloak.” Noah said, bright eyes wrinkling as he mimicked Deimos’ barking laughter.

With no need for rebuttal, even if he had expected it, the Sword snorted, and then contorted and created more shingles for Noah’s end of the roof. Tossing them over, he returned to his crouch, hammering in another section, pulling and tugging to ensure they were stuck and held fast. The following quip though caused another sharp bark of laughter, eventually fading into the wind and snow. “That does not surprise me.” Not after having been witness to Cordelia’s starstruck gaze constantly following the Sentinel’s as they built cabins during exile, or her fretting, worrying, and nonstop notions about the man being sent to Stormbreak, and thereafter, during leadership alterations. “Best give her some time though.”

The repairs seemed to go smoothly enough, considering how Deimos and Noah's combined history in building and repairing was renown at this point. After years of destruction from elements and magic alike, creatures and enemies, there had always been construction plans and deals in the works.

Noah laughed and waggled his finger at Deimos, "Now now, if your bedroom life stays between you and Evie, then so does mine and Cordelia's." He could not hide the boyish glint in his eye, and he could barely restrain the barking laughter that waggled at the bottom of his throat. Noah balanced back on his heels more, waiting for Deimos to throw something at him.
