Much to the golden’s surprise, it was Rikyn’s turn to give in. Where he at been expecting a fury of agitation at the refusal of his perceived and supposed desires, the young stallion on huffed and growled some low thanks, much in the same tones of the gold’s prior acquisitions. Tasseled tail flicked at his heels. Once again his desire to push the colt over the edge hadn’t succeeded. Pity.
Still he wouldn’t take back those words. In jest or in attempted annoyance the gold for once had spoken what he believed the truth. Some creatures in Helovia were bland and wasteful. They floated about these lands like sponges, or some dull cake, tempting and appearing with potential, but tasteless, with nothing to latch into. He had run into his fair share where even his terrible biting words could not find something to latch into. Perhaps for some it was because they were skilled at keeping it hidden, but for most it was because they were nothing but dull driven cattle. Rikyn most certainly did not belong in that category. Never would the term tame beast of burden apply to him. So he was certainly not a no body, thank goodness. The word was far more interesting for it.
Telling him so was even more pleasurable. Sometimes that little golden nugget of truth was a better weapon than some false bravado or full-fledged lie. Sometimes, the truth hurts worse than all the illusions and lies. That is what his dark soul, wrapped in the black shrouds of the past had taught the gold. Though the hypocrisy of it all did little to stop him from wearing his signature smug look of satisfaction. Rikyn’s snort and thanks was enough to let him know he hit at least some nail on the head. A small consolation prize for nipping the feisty brute in the bud.
Yet then the disgruntles Prince turns on him slightly. Gold harks come attention as he sees a new expression pass on the youth’s face, and head tilts ever slightly. The words are spoken in some tone the gold had yet to hear from this mouth, humor. It made him only grin all the more, barring the slight insult (which really was sort of a compliment), for it meant that at last, Rikyn was playing along. Tasseled tail now picks up a regular swing of delighted playfulness. He raises a brow, letting his cutting sarcasm shift to jabbing humor. “Insulting? Honestly Rikyn, the words that come out of your mouth.” He straightens as if taking some moral high road. “To play you have to know what they want to hear first.” His head lowered as if imparting some secret “If I only told you only those, you’d be quite bored Mr. Not-Nobody.” His grin grows, the slyness returning to reveal him. “And what’s the fun in that?”
Then the prince takes another spin of humor, jabbing out at the gold again. Once more though it alludes that the youth was at last playing along, and the attempted insult is flecked off by the joy of the banter. “Decidedly not.” Earth eyes look to the scars still on that still young coat. “Judging by those scars you have begun to learn you don’t get this far in the world without someone doing more than telling you.” His hip moves slightly to bring it into the light of the conversation. Barred in faint grey against the bright gold was a triple crossed T. Morir’s damned work for the gold’s ‘fun’. “Not the first.” He spoke slightly darker, but then shifting the hip back he grins the darkness vanished. “Probably not the last.” And then in some softer inner voice, he reveals another truth. “But I’ll not have it any other way.” Much better anyway than facing dark painfully hidden truths. Though it did seem his philosophy was falling slightly apart, as more and more the world kept pushing his dark wounds into the light through rosen ghosts.
