Tembovu the Elephant King

The Elephant’s thoughts, as troubled as they were, became more prone to picking out misfortune’s irregularities. Thus, his navy gaze was drawn to her hobbling and limping, especially as she pressed her small, cold body against his large, hot one and he could feel her gimpy gait. His thick lips pressed together as he slowly halted, looking at the ~~filly~~ young woman. She was entirely grown now, no vestiges of foal hood left on her pearlescent, white body.

The King sighed slightly, looking down into her mismatched eyes. “I didn’t know you had friends in the Falls—though I should know you make friends wherever you go,” he grinned slightly at her, “And yes, smoke has risen over the Falls all Tallsun, but there is plenty of water, there.” The King’s comforting rumble slowed to a stop as she caught his eyes and offered him a small smile.

And then his own grin faded at her question of what the Basin was like—and if there were flowers. He blinked and looked away, lips pursing slightly, as he tried to recall anything about the Basin other than Rexanna, Kiada, and Kianzo. And then he shook his massive skull slightly, “I was distracted by other things, and did not notice flowers; or much else.” His answer was dull, and quiet.

So, again, he turned his attention outward, gaze sweeping to her crooked forelegs, before gently asking, “How do you fare with your legs?” HIs massive horn gestured towards them. There was no pity in his eyes, just sadness (left over from leaving the Basin alone) and heartfelt concern. He knew her wings must help, but a horse must walk at some point. (At least, an unwinged, Dorobian stallion would think so.)
