"But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura

I hope that you catch me, cause I’m already falling
Ilma
The winged mare’s insides are still churning - but the scent of the Lippizaner is easier than most other’s; perhaps because his lines are easily traced back to some similar to hers; he smells familiar almost like a distant cousin. Perhaps that is why she is able to calm, that she is able to talk at all - his white body so similar, it might be that she is lured into him like she would be to a brother.
Or perhaps he’s just very friendly and likeable, not asking personal questions where he would probably have seen her tense - he is perceptive enough to spot the difference in Kagerus after all. He can’t have missed it and she is glad he neglected to talk about it.
When she elaborates about the castes, he asks if he can be in one now and perhaps two later. She nods, as Kagerus words the answer that this is perfectly fine. Kagerus is also so kind as to further explain Beqanna’s magic, which leaves Ilma a blank slate. But she has nothing more to add, although she silently raises her brow when the moonlight hits her friend - had she had that all along? She doesn’t recall seeing it before, but it doesn’t matter now - her own pelt, and Baltas’ too, sinply shine a little whiter.
She smiles to the white stallion, and nods towards the lake, shimmering in the stark white light. ”If you want it to be - that there’s the sight of home.” Beautiful in itself, even looking inviting for a night swim in it’s serene view, Ilma doesn’t comment on it further. Hyaline is a sight to take in, and to be honest, she’s come to love it even more in the moonlight lately. Welcoming in the sunlight, the lake is calm, serene and open to anything at night.
don't let the fear of flying stop you from falling
@[Baltas] Sorry it took so long! You’re welcome to start or enter multiple other threads if you want in the meantime - there’s also Kingdom meeting thread you should probably post one or two sentences in
Any fool knows men and women think differently at times, but the biggest difference is this: men forget, but never forgive; women forgive, but never forget.
