Hotaru
angels would damn themselves for me
Ru leans sideways into her niece, wishing she could meld them together somehow so the Harpy would never be parted from her again. "I missed you more," she murmurs, that small spark of teasing caught in the undertones, not wanting to bring the mood down with the reality of her words. Though she does flip Evie off and stick her tongue out at the Evergreen shamelessly when the tables are turned on her, brain too full of happy-fuzzy reunion feelings for wit and snark. Until Deimos breaks the news mid-tour in the most distracting way.
"WHAT?!" It bursts out of her in a shriek, interrupting whatever conversation Evie and Kiada had been having that she'd mostly tuned out while looking out the window and nodding along (she'd already trespassed on the property ages ago and investigated on her own). Lurching forward, she snatches up Evie's hand - invoking a strangled protest that she ignores - and makes an equally strangled noise of excitement to see a beautiful floral-themed ring on the Warden's hand. "Frey's clit! You're engaged!" And then she bounces on her feet and squeal-laughs her joy in a way that would make her daughter proud and any adult her age cringe to see.
Snagging at the other two women, Ru drags them back downstairs in a thunderous line until they have returned to the kitchen where Deimos is, looking windswept in an otherwise still house with the force of her excitement. Only then does she drop Kiada and Evie - but only because she is then attempting to climb Deimos in the world's most exuberant hug a pair of their ill-fitting heights can achieve. Despite her childish theatrics, through the bond he will feel the sincere force of her excitement, approval, and happiness for him. "You could have warned me with a letter at least!" Timing be damned, now she'd completely derailed the cozy little get-together they'd fostered in the early moments of tours and dinner prep. Not that it means she'll apologize at all for her antics.
