I carried my own ashes to the mountains
Despite the inclusion of family within these fleeting moments, the trepidation still loomed, lodged between his spinal cord and ribcage. “Strange, and hopefully,” though Deimos never put much on hope. Actions and calculations were more of his schemes, and he narrowed his eyes again to study the rising water lingering further out. “I wonder if any other lands have been experiencing similar things.” Perhaps something else to send out over parchment and paper. “We also had some peculiar plants,” and he glanced back her way to see if that triggered anything.
Nodding at the notions of the farmhouse already sufficiently dealt with, for however long this was doomed to last, he chose to segment the machinations in the back of his mind, for the time being, as she elbowed him. The twitch of his brow soon followed, along with a barely muffled laugh, suddenly very content and smug about being feared. He’d been much the same way in Helovia, with proven intimidation statures and tactics; he half-wondered if any of it still remained in him from time to time in Caido. “Our family is not very traditional,” by way of another laugh; considering how many weren’t linked by blood, but by bonds forged years and worlds before. “Nor does anyone need my permission for a choice you can make on your own.” Eyes glinting back towards her, his nose wrinkled boyishly. “But if it helps, his fright amuses me.”
