When Frost mentions her encounters with the Gods, Cassius’ eyes fill with a brief glaze of skepticism. His soul remains partially elevated however, at the prospect of meeting these individuals. Isn’t sure if he should believe too much or none at all. Doesn’t want to place his hope in something he can’t fathom to hold too tightly on. Reminding him that the Gods could be impartial to the rights and wrongs of this world. Perhaps, merely gatekeepers to the elements – throwing their cares to the wind for who knows what.
If that is the case, Cassius found uncertainty with their existence. He wanted to find purpose in everything, in himself. And if the world was merely built on the curiosities of four powerful beings, was purpose merely a construct of the mind?
Releasing his thoughts, Cassius redirects focus to their group. Awarded a nod from Frost, he settles in the quiet that doesn’t necessarily exclude him.
Syrena speaks up, confirming her role. The stallion’s smile is reaffirmed.
“Perfect timing.”
Furthermore, she is inviting them into her home. It is not a common practice that Cassius is familiar with. So the act itself is rather significant to him, despite what winter has befallen the Falls.
“That is a very generous offer, Syrena. I would love to.” He cannot stop craving for the information that is within Helovia, what treasures reside behind the Falls. It is the one thing removed from him, unscathed from the past – unbiased and thriving in every turn and corner. He imagines there are stories of atrocities somewhere within its historical folds, though what civilization wasn’t?
He looks to Frost with a knowing smile. At the back of his mind, he wonders if it’s truly safe to embark beyond the borders. But their kinsmen know of their departure, someone will look for them if they do not return. At least, the gray stallion hopes so - they will come for Frost either way.
Eager, he takes the dark mare’s offer and crosses the threshold. Eyes glancing to the misty falls beyond their position.
“Have your people been well Syrena?” Is his innocent, casual question.
