where the stolen roses grow - kagerus - Solace - 03-07-2018 Solace
caretaker of hyaline @[Kagerus] RE: where the stolen roses grow - kagerus - Kagerus - 03-07-2018 I am grazing quietly with the sunset to keep me company when I hear the flutter of wings and the gentle touch of hoof to earth. Wondering which feathered company has approached me today, I lift my shapely head from the earth, swallowing a last bite as Solace comes into view. I nicker, smiling at my friend and regent. She has done so much for Hyaline. I respect her so for it. "Hello Solace," I chirp in reply to her uttering my name, walking to meet her. When the distance is closed between us, I reach out and press my muzzle to hers, exchanging warm breath and maybe a fond nibble or two. What can I say? I'm fond of the beautiful woman - that happens when you are both the only people answering the very frequently rung doorbell of Hyaline. But, anyhow. There are more urgent things on my mind, and she speaks them, dampening my cheering sunset-mood with a good kick of anxiety. Stepping back from her, I cast my nutmeg eyes away, clearly uncomfortable in the spotlight, though she'll have no clue why. No clue why until I tell her... But secrets like mine are not exactly easily told. "Uh, well, I guess so..." It's uncharacteristic of me to be so flippant, but I can't help it. I bite my bottom lip apprehensively, swishing my hoof through the grass as if the movement will make this interaction any less weird and awful. But she is my friend. And. And. I can trust her. I take a panicked inhale and then start speaking all at once, the words tumbling from me like an avalanche, my eyes latching on to hers as if she can save me from the crumbling mountain that rolls from my lips. "I accidentally got pregnant and when the baby is born it's gunna kill me so yeah I guess if a mom should go to battle then I'm ready I mean I'm going to die anyway so --" I cut off the obnoxious rambling with another sharp inhale, biting my lip again as I stare at my queen. What on earth have I done. "So..." RE: where the stolen roses grow - kagerus - Solace - 03-08-2018 Solace

Now, to the doorway you run, to the girl that's not lost. I immediately regret how I delivered my secrets when I watch Solace's eyes pop out, and her hooves step backwards. I hadn't intended to scare her, and for a moment, true panic overwhelms me (I have lost my one true firend), but it passes quickly as my ears swivel to catch the caretaker's words. Concentrating on them, instead my own. "I know because Khaedrik's shadows saw," I say quietly, feeling the life drain out of my eyes. Practically dead already, or so it feels tonight anyway. "I'm immortal, but I'll die when I give birth." A blessing, and a curse. When she mentions a healer, her voice higher than I've yet heard it, my eyes snap up and hope is clearly written in their nutmeg depths. "I hadn't considered those options, but, but, I don't know --" The hope is suddenly drained again, and I am left feeling exhausted, having gone from deflated to elated and back again many times on the subject of the child I bear. "Thank you, for thinking of things I'm in no state to. I - I really appreciate it." Solace comes along side me then, her voice calmer, smooth body pressing into my reassuringly, grounding me and helping me to focus on my surroundings instead of the millions of thoughts buzzing around my head. I find myself resting my nose on her neck, trusting her to guide me as she always has - ever the diligent queen, but an even better friend. "No, no, I want to go. At least then my name will be remembered if I do die." I say this lightheartedly, as if it's quip instead of life or death, and it shows in my pained eyes even though I am smiling. "Maybe we can find a healer there though, I think that's - that's our best bet." I drop my gaze, but keep my nose to her skin. "Thank you for listening to my woes.. I'm sorry to deliver them at such a very inopportune moment. You must have so much on your mind already besides... well, me."

caretaker of hyaline RE: where the stolen roses grow - kagerus - Kagerus - 03-22-2018 Out with the golden we sew, and the lower past that crawls. Now, to the doorway you run, to the girl that's not lost. Her words come without hesitation now, reassuring me, allowing my conscious to be free of guilt at having over burdened my Queen... My friend. She's here for me, and for a moment, it feels like enough to get by. Like maybe, with that sweet smile and ingenuity working on my side, we could really do it. We could really fix my problem -- err, not my problem, my child... But it's both. And no amount of sweet smile will change that. Her tone changes then, and my ears perk, mind momentarily distracted from the conversation at hand. A part of me is still dedicated to Hyaline more than I am worried about my birth, and so that part takes over as she goes on to mention my title. My mouth opens a little at her final words, astonishment writ clear in my expression, and gratitude, too. She presses more tightly into me, as if emphasizing how greatly she means what she says, and I can't help it - I tear up a little. Blame the hormones. "I... Solace, I don't know what to say." Needing a moment to think, I reach out and lip the mare's blue forelock, brushing it out of her pretty eyes. When I realize that I have lingered, lips tracing the thin bones of Solace's fine face, I blush demurely and look away, clearing my throat whilst also laughing. When I am able to look back up at her, an answer comes, too. "I would be honour to be Ambassador to you, Solace." Without though, I lean in and curl into her, closing my eyes and feeling her warm embrace around me. I am comfortable, here - truly in the arms of my saviour, momentarily freed from the consequences of sins, lost in a solace that won't last, but that I find myself falling for anyway. I burr softly, nestling into her, not considering that other ambassador's mightn't respond to a promotion in such a way; not minding. "But for tonight," I murmur, my voice a sleepy haze, "Tonight, just hold me." I press my lips to her pale fur, softly grooming and kissing, losing myself to the warmth of a woman who's support I take for granted. And despite the Alliance, despite the child, despite our earlier panic, with her presence so near to me, I am content.
