tiamat

like the ocean kissed the sky—

Behind her, Tiamat can hear the muted hoof beats as Rikyn follows her through the spring meadow, and casting a glance over her shoulder, her grin widens at the sight of the stallion’s expression. He seems to have a happiness that rivals her own! She has never seen him act even remotely this delighted before; granted, they haven’t known each other for too long, so perhaps it is a side of him that is rarely given a chance to shine? She would have never expected this darling little secret, but it is undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.

Sweeping in a large circle beneath their chosen tree, the ocean mare looks up through the blossoming branches, allowing herself the full view to appreciate. A dainty ear flicks towards Rikyn when he comments on the flowers’ beauty, and Tiamat can’t help but nod enthusiastically in agreement. “They really are,” she croons, the corners of her eyes wrinkling with the strength of her smile.

Noticing that the dark stallion has plucked a branch from the colorful tree, the sea maiden jogs over towards him and his stag, stopping and arching her neck as he places each of the bright blooms into her hair. When he finishes, she takes a step back, and poses playfully for him to admire her newest adornments. “What do you think?” The blue mare hums with a bat of her long lashes, flicking the length of her lion tail joyously, and laughing delightfully to herself.

Meanwhile Nimue, who has since floated up among the lowest of the boughs, nudges them with her nose, causing several stray flowers to fall around Duir. She chirps happily, staring down at him with sparkling blue eyes.

“Here—” Tiamat reaches down to grasp one of the fallen blossoms gently between her lips, and then stretches to tuck it behind Rikyn’s ear, “now we match!” She giggles, clearly pleased with herself. Her eyes then shift towards the stallion’s companion, having not overlooked the fact that he keeps nudging her with some sort of rock. “That’s a fascinating stone you have there, Duir—does it do something?” Her voice is laced with laughter, her head tilting in her curiosity. She looks between both of the boys, knowing that Duir can’t communicate directly with her.

“Speech.”
