Last spark from the ashes

Well.

That's pretty direct. Steve looks Blaze over, but there's no sign of the damage that had been done to his fireteam leader. Ghost was painstaking and fastidious as ever in putting the titan back together. She looks fine, if not a bit uncomfortable about the subject of the message she's no doubt been bidden to deliver. As far as Steve knows, this is everything there is to the story.

So he nods slowly, bringing his arms up to cross in front of his chest as a thoughtful frown creases his face.

"I guess we expected that from some of the folks in the Nexus, right? I uh...hope she wasn't a close friend of you lot Before." If they've all been put Out because of Steve. His nod is slow. Resigned, but not hesitant to be given. He even smiles when he catches Ghost peering at him with abject worry. "Don't worry about me. I remember all the talks we had before the Dawning. This was bound to happen. I can respect her wish easily enough."

Amelia isn't someone from the Tower, not someone Steve will have to brush shoulders with on the regular. It doesn't seem so complicated to keep an eye out for a dark haired Not-Hunter and give her a respectable berth. He can't grieve over a burned bridge he never knew existed in the first place.

Better to try for reassuring where his fireteam is concerned. "I met at least another old? Friend? I think. While I was there. And that seemed to go over pretty well." So not everyone took it poorly!

"I don't think Loki counts." Siri interjects sharply but Steve's shaking his head.

"Oh no, not him. Adia."

"Oh, right." She did seem nice enough. Not someone to treat as a threat. "We Did meet Loki though. A Loki at least. Claimed to be Thor's brother, not a friend, but not an enemy either. Also there's several of him. All but told me to be wary." Siri turns back partway to Steve but he predictably doesn't seem terribly bothered about it. Thor is a friend and it's just that simple where the Titan is concerned. Siri's not so sold.

"Should we be worried about him?"
