“Mbwene is an elephant, my namesake from my homelands,” his low rumble was warm and amused by his bonded’s antics as he answered Tiva’s question, “You are not rude at all. Many ask about her,” his head dipped and the calf begrudgingly shuffled away from the woman of bright trinkets and kind words, coming alongside Tembovu. The King bumped on of her ears softly, which won him an annoyed twitch of her tasseled tail, before his attention was drawn back to the dancing mare.
His brows raised, smile and warmth fading from his face as she spoke of leaving. He stayed silent for a long moment, navy eyes meeting the imploring pale ones of the pregnant woman. Finally, his low voice rumbled, “I cannot say I understand, Tiva, because wanderlust has never plagued me. But I respect your choice— however, should you wish to return, the Edge is open to you.” He lingered for a moment before dipping his massive horn in departure and fading into the Edge’s ever-present mists.
@Tiva That's fine <3
