LACE

Who, in his mind,
has not probed the dark water?



He lowered the head towards the water and began to drink, taking deep slow gulps all whilst trying to withstand the uncomfortable silence. He didn't want to be there, he wanted to turn on the spot and leave, escape the eyes that followed him with almost tangible intensity. Had he walked in on something private? The two mares seemed unrelated but their lack of interaction didn't have to mean anything at all. It could simply be the lull that is bound to appear in any conversation, a pause between words suddenly extended into awkwardness because of his arrival. Neither of the two returned his greeting, and Lace felt his mood grow worse by the second - couldn't they have the common decency to at least say hi?

Fajira was going to pay for this. It was her damn fault for dragging him over here, for sidetracking him when she knew perfectly well that he had other things in mind. They had a task to do - or well, he had - and while it wasn't a bad thing to take their time moving south, it just didn't do to purposely drag their feet (his feet, more like).

Finally, after a big, fat cleg had buzzed around his head and finally managed to bite a chunk out of his skin, the stallion had had enough. Jerking the head up so suddenly that both mane, water, gadfly and a few droplets of blood scattered everywhere he backed up, swirled around on his heels and set off at a brisk walk with a snort and a harsh glare at the unsociable mares - imperiously ignoring the nervous glances his dragon had been given by the glass horse, not even bother to acknowledge the staring gray and remaining superbly unaware of the third, unseen presence. Grunting something that could have been a "'Bye" or just a curse under his breath, the grullo gave the dragon in the tree a filthy look and ducked in beneath the trees again - not caring in the slightest about her protests that echoed across the grove, telling him to come back.

A few moments later, when it became increasingly clear that Lace wasn't going to do as she said, Fajira too slipped off her branch and into the air, flapped her pale wings to gain height - then disappeared into the sky.


[so sorry guys, Lace apparently didn't agree with this ^^; Feel free to continue anyway, you can complain about his lack of manners or something. <3]
