[PQ+] [se] sifts of grains

DEIMOS

the ocean does not apologize for its depth
and the mountains do not seek forgiveness

LongNight had come and gone with little fanfare; a justifiable and welcome experience to the Sword, who’d endured many that hadn’t been in the same ilk. Rather than dwell on the past haunting landscape though, there was always much to be done in Halo – and while they weren’t the partygoers like Torchline’s fleet of citizens, the storms, darkness, and other multitudes still left their marks.

“Thank you for being willing to help,” he smiled to Sah and Elizabeth as they met within the center of the Citadel. There was a long list of things to do, from a variety of citizens, and neither he nor Evie would be able to accomplish them all on their own. Consulting the papers, and the general landscape, the first order would be clearing roads and paths impacted by the snow. “We can start here,” and he pointed towards the main route behind them, where deep piles had fallen into the lanes, and likely ice underneath. “Should clean this up first, then see what else is needed.” He waved the papers and arched his brows, to show plenty had come in on missives.

Elizabeth

As she trapsed through the snow to the center square of the Citadel, she saw Deimos already waiting. Elizabeth greeted him with a warm smile that spoke of their many recent encounters. He'd been so willing to let her help out around Halo, inviting her to multiple activities, never excluding her despite her obvious lack of strength and physical skills. Of course, she was more than happy to lend a hand once more!

The other man wasn't familiar, but she gave him a friendly grin and a wave. "Hi! I'm Elizabeth. I look forward to working with you today." Glancing around at the giant piles of snow and ice, she grimaced slightly and let out a light laugh. "I'd say we have our work cut out for us." Eager to start making a dent, Elizabeth grabbed a shovel to start clearing the way, being extra careful to watch for any hidden chunks of ice.

while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Sah

LongNights in Halo had been calm for the past few years, apart from the parties that had begun to emerge. It could be just his immediate neighbors, but Sah was fairly sure that the last two years had been particularly rowdy. Although it was nice to see Halo's people enjoying life, the cleanup wasn't something that could be ignored.

As such, Sah found himself volunteering to help restore the town to its typical state of organized chaos. He nodded at Deimos when he spotted the Sword and turned to return the unfamiliar woman's greeting with a soft smile, "I'm Sah. Good to meet you." He'd seen her in passing, and it was nice to finally be able to put a name to the face.

Grabbing a shovel, the Wild Thunder focused on one sector of the snow to start. Using his telekinesis to assist, he worked to clear the snow and force it into a nice, neat pile on the side.
