the demon hovering around the much younger one circles them like a scarf, and mira’s reassured by what saima says. they wave a hand at the smoke draped around their shoulders.
❝ m’ mom. ❞
“A pleasure to meet her, and you of course.” A nod of respect and greeting towards the pair of demons. “Seems nice to have that kind of guidance around on a regular basis.”
they’re writing the names of stars and galaxies all over their arms and hands, all to look up when they’re home. it’s clear that mira isn’t paying attention, too busy talking to the shadowy-smoke hovering around them. they blink.
❝ … you’re not here t’ send her away, are you? ❞
Visiting this place certainly felt like something of a relief in ways that Saima didn’t realize was necessary. Still, they played a little cautious in finding a place to sit.
“Oh, no – no. I’m not here to send anyone away. I’m certain of that.“
ambrosia sits and tilts her head at the newcomer, but deimos knows she’s not going to outright approach them, like he’s trained her not to. deimos’ smile is relieved, and a bit sheepish. ❝ are you sure? i can move aside. ❞ not that moving three feet onto the grass is going to make his dog happy.
“I promise you, it’s fine. I was just out here to get some fresh air. ” Saima is a little curious about the dog, tempted to tilt their head a bit in return. Something they’ve done with animals before. “Don’t need to move for my trouble – if I was really trying to get anywhere, I’d have no problem going around.”
he’s walking ambrosia around, the great pyreenees trying her best not to walk too fast, not when today has been not good in terms of deimos’ bad knee. he has to stop for a moment, part of him regretting turning down someone’s offer to walk his dog. ❝ ’m not in your way, am i? ❞
Out for a stroll, Saima finds their pathway blocked for a bit by someone stopping to take a pause. “A little bit – but I’m in no hurry so I wouldn’t worry about it really.” Benefits of being on their own time, hardly ever being pressed about getting to places if they didn’t feel like it.
