set a fire for tomorrow
set it to your woes

"You won't be bothering me. You'll be helping me, with less things for me to take back with me." He offered his own smile, soft blue eyes trying to offer a spark towards the woman. Noah stepped sideways towards his door and grabbed the handle, but he didn't take his eyes off the stranger. "My name is Noah, by the way." He said, turning the handle and letting the door ease open. Inside, his griffin roused. While his unicorn went home with his wife to help carry their luggage, Eira had stayed behind to keep the demigod company.

Noah stepped inside, leaving the door open to see if the woman would follow him or not. If she did, then Noah would leave the door for her to close and begin filling the tea kettle with water from the large basin on the counter beside the fireplace. Should she step inside, she would find a mostly empty home with only furniture left. It wasn't totally empty, but any semblance of a personal touch (a wife's touch) were packed up and gone. They would only be using this house as needed, so it made sense that their belongings went with Cordelia to Halo.

Eira stood and shook out her body, stretching her wings before clicking her beak towards the newcomer. "This is Eira." Noah said and dipped his chin towards her, just as the kettle started to hiss with boiling.
