HEROES ALWAYS GET REMEMBERED BUT YOU KNOW LEGENDS NEVER DIE It is fair to say that Volterra is not the most observant man. True, he can spot an opponent's weakness from the far side of a battlefield; he can notice the slightest of limps that denote a weak leg, or the twitch of a muscle to determine what a foe is going to do, and these talents certainly require a level of observation talent. Yet outside the battlefield, the Indomitable is often oblivious to the more minute social cues, such as noting a friend's state of mind or a lover's attempted rejection. It's a surprise to him as much as the pale mare, then, that he's able to spot her sour mood. Perhaps it's because he's known her so long; he met her when she was a mere girl (which makes his X-rated thoughts about her feel a tad perverted, but he reasons that there's not that much of a gap between their ages) so has watched her grow and therefore picked up on some of her tells. Perhaps, though, it's just good luck - or the fact that because the beast has lost almost everything he holds dear, he's keen to keep a tight grip on what he has left, and that involves offering comfort to his scarce group of friends and allies. He holds their posture, absorbing every inch of her skin with his touch and committing it to memory. The ice-mare seems in two minds what to do, and for a moment Volterra thinks he's been too forward - he expects a proper bite, or a hoof to the shins, but she soon overcomes whatever misgivings she has and moves closer to him. "Mmmm," comes his low, involuntary rumble of pleasure as she leans into him - realising what he's done, his half-lidded eyes shoot open and he attempts to disguise the noise with a very false cough. Tell me something happy, she requests. He doesn't know what to say - that being in her presence makes him happy, when the world falls apart around them? That being so close to a friend is a rare and unusual pleasure for him, especially when mingled with the more carnal feelings that he has for her? "Since the world may end at any moment, perhaps you should look at doing things you've never done before. Things you've always wanted to do, but feared the consequences of." His eyes are blazing now as he looks at her; it's clear what he's implying, and his heart thuds heavily against his chest in a mimic to hers. Will she understand what he means, even though he's trying his best to sound lighthearted and inspirational? "I suppose that's not a happy thought, more of a motivational one." He forces a grin and leans closer against her. |
