Darling leave the light on for me
I'll be there before you close the door
The hope she feeds him like morsels can’t possibly sustain or counter the truth. Wouldn’t he enjoy believing her, though? He can almost imagine it: waking up somewhere the sun never left, only a touch away from someone or something he actually cared about. Is that what keeps her alive? Does she wake every morning to a new life, fall asleep every evening to the promise of a better tomorrow? He wonders, eyeing her all the while as Starsin toys and taunts, touches and makes him want. Vadar only breathes again when he puts distance between them, finding he had little willpower to do it a second time.
That high, nearly childish laugh makes him hate himself all the more. Here was a creature clearly in control of her actions and most situations, determined to push her silver-maned companion in a direction he was highly unfamiliar with. Some things came easily to him but not these ... these casual encounters. The little gray mare with a cape of stars was so familiar in her nature, he expects that she won’t be dismissed. Not by anyone.
So he accepts her apology instantly, but stays calm and quiet. The satin sheen of his black skin doesn’t twitch or shudder away from Starsin’s waves of breath. Vadar listens to her question, then tilts his black cheek to one side; eyeing her with that red, round eye encased in a diamond. “It’s your time. Waste it how you like.” He smiles. Always smiling, even if it wasn’t how he felt. “What are you trying to do, anyways?” He wonders without moving, turning his face forwards. Only then he decides he won’t give her the satisfaction of an answer. He’d rather take a guess instead.
“Was your day getting boring?” The black stallion asks, unexpectedly sighing.
