But that was then. Now, he stood, watching the winged woman before him gently pick up the amulet from the grasses. After a few moments’ pause, she deftly used her own, ebony locks tie the pendant to the chain at his neck. Being a stallion, he was not immune to the nearness of the young mare, nor the gentle brushes her lips and mane made against his hide.
Shifting slightly, he began to talk— to keep his mind focused away from the nearness of her flesh, “Should you get tired of the hatred in the Basin, the World’s Edge would be glad to welcome you.” He smiled lopsidedly, even though she could not see it with her head at his chest. And then she was backing away, nodding and smiling slightly at her handiwork. “Thank you,” his low rumble was sincere as he searched for her mixed eyes. “Crafting responsibility call be back to the Edge. But my offer stands— even if you only wish to visit,” he smiled, before turning away to begin the long walk back towards the Edge. It was times like these when wings would be useful— the Basin was daft. “Goodbye, Rhea.”
