DEIMOS
The peryton heard the initial sound of the excited wolf, a trill focused on either a warning or some angle of camaraderie, but loud and tumultuous just the same. Before Belial could even instigate some manner of play, the cub (though likely not far too much longer) was at Deimos’ feet. The Sword smiled, crouching, ensuring Lilly received her adequate pats and scratches, a customary relief sinking in through Attuned complexities.
His eyes flickered upward at the appearance of Sah, and a sigh finally settled out of his chest. For now, they were safe, and that was all they could aspire towards in the moment. The question made him snort though, because Deimos didn’t even quite know how to answer. Didn’t know how he was holding up. Existing. Weaving in and out of the wilderness, trying to cobble together something that didn’t break within moments. A lost position. A lost home. A lost network of friends and allies. “Surviving,” he eventually surmised with a crook of an empty grin, before yielding away to a final pat on Lilly’s head.
“And you? How is everything going?” It could’ve meant any number of things – between Torchline meetings, effects of fleeing one’s sanctuary, and anything else wedged amongst and amidst the chaos – but a starting point, nonetheless.
