This wasn't the first time – names and faces flashed in front of his mind, and at the forefront was Keahi, Skækja as he called her, and the rather cruel parting he'd given her. Vanamo, then mare Cineviam had brought home. Lotus, the irresistible amazon. Why was it that mares, eying him in that way, expressing the faintest kind of interest, made him want to run away? Slam an ice spike through them and then cool his own blood until he froze? And why, why, did he always hide the discomfort, and entertain them? He gave her that smile because he knew that it would mask the unease, because he wanted to encourage her, and at the same time, he just wanted to run away.
But this time it was for a purpose. At least, that was what he told himself, giving a rather demure shrug. "Truth lies in the eyes of the beholder," he said airily, as if it could somehow explain it all. But the real truth was, that most he were around didn't find him that exciting. Mysterious, maybe, because he kept his secrets closely guarded, but if they thought him dashing, they didn't say, or give it away. Maybe they thought Psyche would have their guts for it? Least of all he had expected such praise, such blatant interest, to come from a pegasus. A pegasus mare. A pegasus mare he had wicked plans for. And she seemed all too willing to go along, if her blossoming smile was anything to go by. And for a moment, he felt guilty; he was a rather likeable fellow and he knew it, and he was using that, to lure her in.. but he forced that aside, instead letting his smile grow into a rakish grin. "Splendid!" he said, swinging around in the snowfall to face the north. "This way, Argos." And he said it with warmth, not with guilt, offering her a hint of that smile again before moving off through the forest, heading north, towards the Basin. Towards.. well, he didn't quite want to think of it yet. ( you can reply here one more time, and I will set something up for us in the Basin in a day or so ^^ Edit: continues here! ) |
