Rohan.
It is with a strange sense of relief that you recognize the tall man, your steps quickening with the excitement that ignites in your foolish little heart. You had expected strangers at the voices that had mildly piqued your interest, strangers with strange faces and stranger motives, along with another botched attempt at offering them a home. Your mind flickers back to the swan of a mare that had swept you far from here, all pleasantries and smiles. You wonder if she felt much the same as you do now upon spotting the two-toned mare, dark skin accented by sky blue.
She is enough to give you pause, your eyes darting between the two of them, but the comfort of being with someone who isn’t a complete stranger in a place that you had been strangers with for far too long wins out. And so you move to brush past his familiarity, stopping when you are shoulder-to-shoulder, the heat from his body a welcome respite from the biting air. While your body has done well adjusting to your valley in the north, you are still not entirely impervious to the chill - especially the variety night brings. For a moment you ponder the pair’s sanity, your own sanity, but dismiss the thought entirely, chalking it up to the inability to sleep. Your eyes trace the side of his boyish face, noting the snow that clings half-melted to his skin, the way he may be even more beautiful than before, beneath the slivers of moonlight.
“Considerably less of an entrance this time, I’m afraid.” You smirk at him knowingly, eyes lingering for a moment longer before skirting to the mare that stands before the two of you, your easy smile fleeing along with your gaze as it leaves him. For moments you simply look at her, the way her hair tumbles down slender shoulders, the chill that exudes from her, something only you may feel but there, nearly tangible nonetheless, but most importantly, the way she looks at him. A shudder rolls down your spine, subtle as an earthquake, shaking your tiny frame; you exhale quietly then, the smile returning thinly to your lips.
