Manon breezed through the snow with easy grace, long limbs moving smoothly despite the substantial chill. Her blood moved throughout her slim body, hot and raucous and determined to warm her regardless of how cold the Steppe could be. She could feel the air burning her throat with each long breath, rushing downward into the depth of her lungs only to return as warmth - a cloud of condensation hovering about her soft lips as she walked. Having seen little of Helovia but the Edge these past few months had made her determined to discover the rest of the area, if not for curiosity then for self preservation. Sunlight filtered weakly through sparse clouds, planing her sharp angled face with insubstantial colour and catching in the silver of her eyelashes. Manon paused mid-step, a hoof half raised as she surveyed the valley below her. It was slight, a mere nook in all the wild of the Steppe. Scattered within were crooked trees and patches of thin, struggling grass poking through the damp snow, a meagre meal if anyone were truly hungry but -- tucked away and looking quite alone, Sikeax.
Manon could not help the smile that caressed her velveteen lips, nor the spark of remembrance and pleasure that lit up her silver rimmed eyes. There were those same gentle eyes, the smooth flush of her soft skin, and her hair like silk tumbling over her shoulders as if it just fell that way. She'd always found pleasure in simple beauty - and Sikeax had it in excess. Manon paused for a moment, still scanning the valley, before dropping downward and toward the woman she had not forgotten. Had things been different, she could have ended up at the Throat with Sikeax. There seemed to be a conversation going on between Sikeax and Hobgoblin (someone Manon had forgotten about, much to her displeasure) so she slowed her elegant walk and waited. She watched Hobgoblin with interest, taking in the leopard seal with a scholarly patience before allowing her eyes to trail back to the satin sight of Sikeax's skin.
"I told you we would meet again." She interrupted, waiting patiently for Sikeax to turn - if only so that she could meet those tender sapphire eyes once more.
@sikeax yay!!
