sweet bitter words, unlike nothing I have heard:

Raising my head from my colorful foraging at the call of a familiar, cheerful voice shouting my name, I find the faintest of smiles within my dwindling supply of cheer to share with her. Tiamat, a mare I consider a friend, for she has always been kind to me, and one that is also pretty, surely deserves better company this afternoon, but she has chosen me, and I will oblige.

Duir, on the other hand, is delighted to see her again, rather preferring the company of my kind friends over my more rowdy or rancorous ones. He was in far less danger hanging out with Tiamat and Nimue than he was with Mordecai or Volterra, and his hungry dragons, and the mare’s easy going nature was far preferred to my morose sulking as of late. Greeting her with a cheerful waggle of his tiny tail, his antlered crown bobs a hello, as he moves to stand alongside me.

Emotionally leaning on his better mood, I draw to draw some of his strength to lend to my conversational abilities, especially when her first question immediately bludgeons my rather delicate feelings; the pressure of tears threatens to burst free, but I wrestle them back, disgusted with myself for being so weak in front of a lady.

"Could be better, really," I flatly remark, my smile lackluster, marked by hollow, emotionless eyes, "but well enough, I guess."

Alive. Better than some…

"How about you?" I distract myself with, dredging up memories of the ocean, and joy, rather than of blood, and lifeless, bronze eyes, "I haven’t seen you since the Moon created the sea tunnel."

sing along, mockingbird; you don't affect me.
