[open] Love Sickened and Infirmed

[Dreamscar]

He hasn't quite mastered all the words it would take to tell her what he wants, or even that he wants her to go, so instead he hisses and rakes the ground in front of him with sharp claws. But even as he tosses his beaked head and encourages her to go, he is reaching out, he is always reaching out, always testing the boundaries of his magic. It is interesting that The Others rarely react as strongly to it as his dam has, but she was always supposed to love him. It is not his fault that she didn't, but he has forgiven her the transgression. It couldn't be helped then, but it has been amended.

The black stallion had not reacted very strongly, but... Well. Dreamscar would prefer not to remember that particular incident. It certainly had not gone in his favor and he had nearly lost everything to simple terror. Foolish. Anyway, he had been much younger, has had more practice since then. But, even now, that same anxiety seizes him and his feathered chest shivers faintly, amber eyes narrowing slightly as he waits for the extended finger of magic to brush against her, to see how or if she will change. She will not be such a threat, then, he thinks, despite her larger size and greater age. But perhaps she is not so completely alone because the snowy owl has returned and he knows, as a predator does, that it is watching and aware.

Perhaps a thread for it, too?

He considers this, unsure how it will affect the bird, unsure if he can control so many, and a predator above them all. Perhaps it should be no different, but he has only targeted herbivores up until now, and maybe it doesn't work on carnivores at all? Still, there is no love-loss between owls and eagles and something avian in him shrieks at the sight of this enemy watching him. It is all well and good to stalk his crows, they are nothing, scavengers and opportunists, but for it to observe him unsettles him. Raider of nestlings. He is hardly more than a nestling.

Yes, then, the owl too.

And, he thinks, turning amber eyes back to the filly who leans toward him even as she asks him if she should go, I will crush it, if I can catch it.

@[Altissima] oh dear. I guess he doesn't like owls.
