“ The transmissions from the House of Salvation, ” Data confirms quietly, the ghost lowering himself just enough to be between both his guardian and the vandal. “ Apparently, this Eramis had been blinded by power of the Dark, just as she was trying to promote it to other Eliksni. ”
“ It seems she’s been put to rest by another group of Guardians, ” Selene nodded, a half-curious look upon her face. “ But with her gone, and the other Eliksni who didn’t agree with her, Variks has sent them here to Mithrax. He believes it’ll be a start to unionizing the Eliksni with the city - hopefully. ”
Both in name and vision she’d only heard from Suroks and Wipoks, before. Much to her amazement, she hadn’t expected the name or whereabouts to come from the previous warden. But at the call of help, and direction to ’ Missrax ’, it was enough for Selene to agree in helping in the cause. A shared future she’d wish long enough to to see for herself.
“ Aside from Hive movement… Earth has become the least hostile of everywhere, ” the Hunter explains, confirming Suroks’s narrative in just how empty the EDZ had been. “ The Moon is still… well. Definitely not ready for us to take you there, yet. And then Europa is a whole thing on its’ own. And the Shores… ”
She didn’t know much for now, a little further on her to-do list. But apparently, strange readings and appearances upon the Shore and Dreaming City were becoming common. All in which started back from the Moon.
“ It’s… just nice to get out of it, if just for a bit, really. ”
A more somber expression pinched upon brows, unknowingly to her and clenched jaw at the thought. Her ghost floats a moment in distance, raising himself back into her view before scoping her back into the here and now.
“ I brought you some things, ” she smiles, sliding a satchel from being her cloak into her lap. The first item retrieved in it’s view, a plastic-wrapped loaf of grain wheat she had procured from the bazaar before her outing. “ It’s less sugary this time, ” she assures.
“House of Salvation...” He repeated, a confirmation he needed to himself, perhaps to translate the name to his own tongue. A nod was given, a silly name, he thought, what was Salvation to Eliksni but a dream many longed for? It’d surprise him if they could really reach such thing, but considering that the Kell was put down already, their so called ‘salvation’ was just words.
“It is a step, at least, the City still has distrust, I understand.” He nodded, eyes closing for a brief moment. “But if Guardians can at least trust us from House Light, things may be a little easier, for both sides.” He hoped, at least.
Suroks clicked softly in thought. “I have not seen Hive nearby, so at least they have not reached this area, it is safe here.” He had enough with Cabal, Taken and even other Eliksni such as himself, the last he needed was also Hive corrupting and making nests, these beings were stubborn, as well.
“Take breaks, Selene, they help in the long run.” He pointed out, letting his arms fall to his sides. “I don’t know what you are fighting out there, but a rested mind will keep you and your team collected.” Stress induced panic could be a thing, after all.
Suroks observed her as her expression changed, something he knew she did every now and then, almost like a small mood dip before something took her out of it, and something he never interrupted, after all, questioning about the smallest quirks on someone’s behavior was not only rude, but also a waste of time.
As she pulled out the loaf, he stretched one arm out, so she wouldn’t need to get off her sitting spot or throw it at him. “People of the City have the most interesting foods, it’s strange to consume them, as someone who feeds from Ether only, they’re not bad, though.” It was something he still wanted to get accustomed to, as much as it really wasn’t a part of his diet.
