[a long day of sweaty hard work and nosy, excited Deimos later. Deimos are apparently pretty stoked for building, and turn it into a power competition pretty often. Labor is just interrupted by food and the occasional rowdy overdramatic brawl that ends in lots of enthusiastic swears for revenge, followed by acting completely normal again afterwards. And also buzz over their temporary human guest.
They're definitely interested in Shiro. Most of them just blurt out what's on their mind and refer to him as "hey, human," boisterous beasts of many MANY shapes and sizes and cultures. They all got the memo from Darc that he's off limits for any harm, even non lethal "I just want to see if he's tough gee," which translates into a lot of LETS SEE HOW WELL YOU CAN BUILD, HUMAN, DO YOUR TOOLS SHAPE UP TO CLAWS?? Some are all eager to learn about Shiro, with a lot of boisterous negging of how very human he is. There's also a lot of curiosity and friendliness. It's clear the Deimos have a lot of individuality and are in very different, very OPINIONATED places.
But it's clear everyone here is VERY loyal to Darc, and eager to gossip or do well by the city. The fact that Shiro is willing and eager to build a Deimos city is an immediate, huge plus, which baffles and impresses most of them (and one checks his work to make sure he's not SABOTAGING.) He still has Darc's scent all over him, which stops some from flirting, ENCOURAGES others, and definitely encourages gossip.
Darc spends all day trying not to daydream about fucking him and failing.]
