Hotaru and long term hadn’t been something for a great while, but he made no mention of it; because there’d been trials, tribulations, and trauma mired and murky within those depths, and she’d been working her way towards healing. If conquests seemed to assemble into that nature of soothing and assuaging the Valkyrie’s needs, he’d say nothing about it – besides a little teasing now and then. Leaving discussion of Thranduil and Danta behind, he veered into another potential. “What about this George character?” Tomfoolery it might have been, but all the spiders tangled and immersed within his infernal tornado were quite dead. Shifting the ashes amidst the wind into a modest pile near the bottom of the climbing wall, he started more barrages, shifting incantations into icy shards this time, skewering several deigning to linger along the roof. Which served as an ample distraction too, as the subject shifted to Sunjata, because then he could pretend they were his head as he skewered them.
Grief might’ve made them all grow, but the Flood had sown so many disastrous seeds it was a wonder anything prospered. “I am not quick to forgive or forget,” a shift in his eyes, remembering and recalling every damned thing that Sunjata had enacted upon Hotaru. From the ridiculous marriage to Phoebe on nothing more than stupidity, to the second and third changes given and squandered with children, with the Ascended…a laundry list of sins that Deimos couldn’t easily dash away. “Must have quite a bit of work on his hands then.”
