ISOPIA
In reality's shadow the blind see best.

I don't see why not. Isopia forces herself to stifle the sigh of relief that bubbles beneath the surface of her skin. Exhaling as calmly as possible, she nods her quad-horned skull in appreciation. Internally, she wondered if Volterra might lord his title, and by extension, his ownership of the fire, over her. Given how they had parted last and all that had transpired between them, she thought that perhaps his patience with her might have been snuffed out by the plethora of mares surely at his disposal now. That whatever love he might once have had for her would be gone, replaced only with bitterness and the need to dominate her in newer, more deserved ways.

She thought he might make her beg, or grovel.

She even thought he might say no.

But he didn't, and Isopia felt a mental flicker of something like longing for the love she once felt for him. As her golden stare travelled over his face, she tried to remember what it was like to stand in his presence, when she loved him. To feel her knees grow weak and feel her stomach flutter, demanding his touch. Her body was like a shell before him now, occupied only by a ghost that could not speak or touch or crave.

"So..." Isopia began as Hubris skirted across the sands, stick brandished. He inserted it into the fire that danced hotly, and immediately the flammable substance on the end of the tip beckoned the fire onto it. "How...have you been.." The question was awkward and uncomfortable, born not only from Isopia's desires to learn (or pretend) to be more sociable, but also because it didn't seem right that the two of them together should be so frigid and uncomfortable around one another. They had spent their lives together, and even though things had been broken between them, was there really no fixing it?
