He’d struck a chord that could no longer be unstrung. It hadn’t been intentional at first, but Lena’s berating and her pressing had touched on nerves Atlas hadn’t flexed in quite some time. This was the first instance in a long while that the stallion felt the need to walk away before his mouth ran ahead of his heart. Even as he watched her, that sculpted head thrown back and those eyes a piercing mixture of dark, amber ire, he still felt inclined to smile. It was likely the straw that broke the camel’s back, but he couldn’t resist this new and glorious part of the Mender that he’d never witnessed before. If Atlas didn’t believe that telling her “you’re so cute when you’re mad” would end in some fiery wrath from hell, he might have admitted to his ogling. But of course there was no reason to risk life and limb for a bit of childish play that would cost him more than he was willing to pay.

Instead, he turned from her and her seething, content to face the forward path leading only deeper into the Labyrinth. Lena’s voice from behind didn’t send him careening back around (despite the sudden urge to console her after causing her so much strife) but he listened intently nonetheless. It was a single word that had somehow been pressed between grit teeth from the sounds of it –her yes– and it didn’t sound like either of them were willing to give up their pride for the other. However, it appeared that neither party wanted to leave things on such a tense and unwelcome note, so Atlas did what he did best and resolved to give her space. “Good,” he stated in response, though he couldn’t find it in his heart to look back at the mare. “Save it for the next time we meet, which we will, and perhaps you can give me a proper lashing then.

A lopsided smile fell into place as the stallion finally turned then to face the mare who had somehow managed to betwixt and offend him simultaneously. She hadn’t run for the hills just yet, as Atlas imagined she would, and the stallion took advantage of her momentary indecisiveness to approach. He wasn’t sure what Lena would allow him now that he’d pressed buttons and pulled strings, but he reached for her anyway, seeking to drape his neck over the fine points of her back. He would carry her touch away when he left, moving to take the opposing pathway away from the Mender and her complexities. He didn’t quite understand her yet and wasn’t sure that encroaching on her personal issues had done much in his favor, but he did know one thing for sure…. And that was that Atlas would simply have to dig deeper next time… just with more class.
