Tembovu & Mwebene
Tembovu merely listened to Aji’s words in silence, accepting them and allowing them to fall into the silence of companionship. His attentions were, likewise, turned towards the Transcended mare that who wore a sweet smile on anguished eyes. The Elephant might have taken such a smile as the genuine thing, so complete and credible was her mask.
But were not his own eyes holding shadows in their depths? Is that not why he avoided his reflection?
Regardless, his gaze was drawn to the soft croons of ‘Astaeus,’ once again the sound of a companion betraying their bonded’s hidden emotions. Though he only met the wary, golden gaze of stormy zephyr with calm, un-prying eyes. His own troubles ran deep, he would not delve here.
Though, a sideway glance at his poisonous friend, he could not say the same for Aji. Though he was rather surprised at his friend’s ready greeting of Sohalia. ‘A welcome addition?’ What were the serpent’s motives? Perhaps the beauty of the mare drew him in— Kiuaji was known to collect beautiful things.
Slightly suspicious gaze shifts back to the ivory woman, eyes warming as she states she will stay with their group. Despite whatever his ulterior motives were, Aji was right: this mare was welcome between the stallions. A rose between two thorns: one deadly, one poisonous.
“Please do, Sohalia,” his low rumble held undercurrents of warmth, slowly replacing the emptiness, “The Edge fares well, don’t you think Aji? Our numbers and ranks swell, though our borders require work and protection. As King, I invite you to visit again, should you desire,” only now does the warmth of his lopsided smile being to reach his eyes. “Are you of a herd, Sohalia?” His question is curiosity, not to recruit but to learn more of this mare.
Amid the talking of her bonded, the infant elephant tottered beneath his great barrel, squeeze with a soft squeak from between his thick forelimbs. Stomping stumps of legs move in the ungainly gait of a newborn as Mbwene approached the winged mare. Lurching to a halt near her hooves, a twisting and curious trunk reached out towards both the woman and her companion. Her coat nearly glowed and looked so soft, she needed to investigate.
