They're all twitterpated! [singles night watching] - Yael - 02-16-2017 If there was ever a sporting event Yael wants to observe, it’s Single’s Night; where the game isn't about pure strength, but how well you can read your match. Let the children have their fun, she thinks wryly, feeling very much like an old widow all of a sudden. This night is not for her. Alas, there are no cures for heartache, save time, so the little golden mare is content to settle herself on the edge of the firelight and watch the pairs circle ‘round and ‘round. Oh yes, she is quite content over there, even going so far as to take a couple of apples for herself and nibble on them. Flashes of light betray her movement (she’s not trying to hide in any way, but she also wouldn’t want to be mistaken for a participant. A pleasant warmth begins to spread through her body as she finishes two out of four apples, and settles into a comfortable position. She’s lost track of those she knows - Lyanna, Toulouse, Alysanne, Isopia, Erthe - by now, but trusts they are having a good time. There is laughter and smiling, coquettish movements and suave words, bravado and awkwardness, and oh, how she loves watching it all. None of them, not even herself, probably realizes just how much they needed some light-heartedness in their lives. After all, the sun still rose the day after Kaos’ reveal. Life goes on, and never-ending vigilance is wearing on both body and soul. They deserve this break, Yael thinks. The fight will come to them all soon enough. yael Open to any.

OOC: set before her companion hatching thread! RE: They're all twitterpated! [singles night watching] - Yael - 02-17-2017 An older mare passes in front of her, and quietly curious eyes follow the woman as she makes a point to avoid the festivities. Yael almost thinks that the stranger is bent on avoiding her as well, until there seems to be a change of heart, and a backtracking. If it weren’t for the slightest bit of a buzz she’s got going on, the gilded mare might have wished for the unicorn to keep on walking, but alcohol makes her congenial and welcoming of female companionship. Taking a small step to the side, Yael welcomes the gray mare in with a brief sweep of her wings and inviting nod. The flickering light is most certainly more flattering on the fringes, dancing merrily across their coats. It masks the imperfections. Hides age and emotions one would rather keep hidden. Ah, but here Yael has nothing to hide. If there is a sort of sadness in her eyes, it can be easily dismissed. “Leeve long enough, and you learn ze tricks of light, yes?” she asks, as if the two of them share some sort of ‘wise woman’s’ secret. Looks can be deceiving, and she knows she speaks as if she were twice her apparent age, but maybe that's part of the fun of meeting a stranger by a fire. Mystery. Intrigue, even if it's the romantic type. “I’m Yael,” she offers, with a brief glance towards the other. A log in the fire is immolated, crashing down with a spray of sparks towards the already star-light sky. The apples lay forgotten at her hooves, though they seem to be hard at work amongst the flirting mass of Xelovians before them. yael @Sheba |
