{RQ} with these diamond hands

NOAH

Noah was pleased with all of the work they accomplished. The hot springs were going to be a welcome treasure in Halo, safely guarded and widely used. It was necessary for their survival and for them to thrive. Noah collected the rocks that he gathered that met the criteria and stood up. He brushed his hands on his pants before the dragon splashed in the water. Noah chuckled, and lowered his hand down to Talyson to help the courier up.  "Bring that mead over to the hunting lodge when you get back. Cordelia's there waiting for us." Noah smiled brightly at Hotaru, and then at Talyson. "You come too." And then, in a blink, Noah thumbed his compass and it took him back to the Citadel.

I wait and tell myself "life ain't chess,"
But no one comes in and yes, you're alone
