Deimos has not had the easiest time adjusting to something like normalcy. The cult had their claws in them for so long that they never really considered anything else, but now, here they are, reunited with their family, and they just feel...at odds with it all. It's hard to even consider the fact that they aren't everything that the cult brainwashed them into thinking that they are. So what's left for them now?
This is why they sit outside now, alone, wanting to be with their own thoughts and feelings. It feels like a storm raging inside of them, all mixed up and terrible. They don't even notice Myrrine at first, not until she's right behind them and they jump, whirling around to face her.
"Oh--Myrrine," they mumble, although still tense. It's hard to think of her as their mother. They don't know if they ever will. "I'm fine out here, if that's what you're here to ask."
