Super massive Black Hole / Castile - Leilan - 11-08-2018 Leilan Glaciers melting in the dead of night and the superstars sucked into the supermassive
There’s too much left unsaid, and undone. He hadn’t quite seen it soon enough, but Castile had been eating himself away. Sabra’s loss was hard, sure, and the retreat was logical. But since the dragon man had retreated, there had been no chance to talk it out. Now he had gone to invest the new isle, and found only Heartfire there - but his assumption that Breckin hadn’t seem fit to claim it quickly enough had Leilan snap at him; then received some snapping in return. So what’s left of their budding friendship now? He’d done very much the same thing had it been the other way around, like the winged man had told him so neatly. But that hadn’t been the point of his words. It wasn’t the retreat per say. It was the assumption to know everything and then immediately putting distrust in their queen that had put him on edge. Leilan would likely not have gone to the island and tell everyone that Sabra had failed them, had she been queen of Nerine instead. The man’s behaviour bothered him. A dragon is highly flammable, of course - Leilan knows this as no other. But if he needs some peace of mind, he should know that he could talk to anyone. That there were friends who’d listen. Families to look after. Life isn’t as simple as ridding the world of one problem with violence like they had. If it was, he could have just frozen the mare’s wings over. Ask Castile if he saw fit to burn them all alive - but there had been others around them whi could have been hurt (like Heartfire had demonstrated), and violence was always the last option. Shying away from it however, was a whole different thing than preferring another solution. But he can’t shy away from Castile either. The man is in pain and covers it with brusk mannerism. He needs to talk it out or, if all else fails, take it out, on someone. Now it’s just a matter of finding him, of course. As he wanders the icy plains between the greener area and the closest link to Nerine, he wonders how one catches a dragon. Perhaps with an offering, or a piece of gold? you set my soul alight @[Castile] talk to meeee :[ (instead if the old one in Nerine?)

When he finds the tobiano male, he is facing the south-east, as if debating going to Nerine or even, elsewhere. But before long, he is within hearing distance also (sometimes, he forgets that his range of sight is larger than average), and gets greeted with a puff of smoke. Surely any of the newcomers might have met fire, instead. Not like Leilan is one to blame the man, though. It's putting the roan on edge, too, to know that the other horses on the island aren't refugees, but devils-in-disguise. It's opposition in name only, but going around killing people is something that Nerine isn't supposed to be - they're not mercenaries like Loess. That, and his mother would probably strangle him. Doesn't mean that he secretly, also wants to get rid of them the easy way. Castile greets him with a question, almost as if the roan had sought him out with a task. He had not, however, so he skips the first, 'yes?' in favour of the next question, updates. The gold-clad stallion shrugs a bit, waiting for most of the smoke to clear out before answering in full. "There's a fourth, now," As if three wasn't bad enough. "On the plus side, the green mare is reasonable like we'd established earlier," he moves one ear backwards to the rest of the island, but doesn't hear anyone, "and I think we've come to an understanding." He takes a deep breath, looking past the winged shifter to Nerine. Wondering what would have become of this island had he stayed there, instead. "As much as I would like to see them burn, I doubt they'd stand for it." he admits, grinning a bit sheepishly at the other dragon, before letting that falter. He'd make the effort not to have to go to war, because starting a fire here would burn him one way or the other (if they'd be able to drive the invaders off violently, they'd have much of Nerine to answer to, and if it failed, they'd likely be dead themselves or would have started a war they might not win). But if they gave them no other option, then so be it. Like Klaudius. "How are you holding up?" Out of the blue, he asks, staring at Nerine. He wonders what had become of Sabra, then. Castile had mentioned her earlier but only in the heat of anger. Nobody seemed to know. Nobody dared to ask. What he'd done with her body, after carrying her away. He assumed that Cas would have buried her somewhere, or put her in a small cave with a nice view, or whatever. It didn't cross his mind yet, she might be immortal. you set my soul alight @[Castile] Oops I never tagged you RE: Super massive Black Hole / Castile - Castile - 11-20-2018 and underneath the layers, I find myself asking what's left a hollowed out form, the skeleton of a ghost, the pitiful echo of what once was castile @[Leilan] RE: Super massive Black Hole / Castile - Leilan - 11-25-2018 Leilan Glaciers melting in the dead of night and the superstars sucked into the supermassive
The gold-haired roan nods at the scoff he recieves upon the news. Unfortunately, they’re all bloody idiots, he agrees. But letting go now is a weakness he can’t afford himself. There can only be one kingdom in the region, and it’s gonna be Nerine. That is even besides having these foul souls as neighbours. He shakes head and crest, and doesn’t comment further. Deep down he’s pretty sure Castile and he feel the same. When the patched male continues his speech, and there he recieves a chuckle or scoff from Leilan. ”If only it were that simple. I’d be happy with it, I think.” No safe place for their Nerinian children, but at least, not these people as their direct, threatening neighbours. ”Although they might pick Taiga as their base and we’d have the same problem.” He’s silent for a bit but after his own sudden question, Castile tells him Sabra’s alive. Leilan slowly exhales a breath, nearly a sigh. ”I’m glad she is. She deserves better.” Smiling also, though it doesn’t really reach his eyes, he muses a moment if this changes him and Cas for the better or the worse - but no. Klaudius had still killed her. Murderers and rapists wouldn’t be tolerated. End of story. He nods more sternly when the other stallion tells him she doesn’t know about the plague yet. Sometimes it’s best not to trouble a recovering mind further - in fact perhaps Cas himself might not have wanted to get involved in the Isle’s mess, either. ”All in due time. Whenever she’s ready.” he voices, a little lost-sounding when he thinks of his own family. Scattered and lost. But instead of by now being able to call them all here, to a new and safe home, he has nothing to give them. He can go looking, and then tell them to stay put in whatever safe land they’ve perhaps found, or convince them to come back to Nerine - but that’s pretty pointless, isn’t it? The stallion besides him, may also have some of those, he muses. Relatives, or children sired. ”Any others? I’m pretty much bound to this place or it’ll be run over, but if you need to get out and look, perhaps you should. I don’t think it will come down to a day.” If Castile wants in on any fighting (he’s pretty sure he does, but still) - well, to be honest Leilan’s quite sure they will be getting it. Even if he should miss out on it on the first day, there’ll be plenty left for everyone - unfortunately. But they sure can’t keep waiting for it, can they? They have lifes to live. you set my soul alight @[Castile] RE: Super massive Black Hole / Castile - Castile - 11-28-2018 and underneath the layers, I find myself asking what's left a hollowed out form, the skeleton of a ghost, the pitiful echo of what once was castile @[Leilan] RE: Super massive Black Hole / Castile - Leilan - 12-08-2018 Leilan Glaciers melting in the dead of night and the superstars sucked into the supermassive
He doesn't really know how to answer Castile when he seems to wonder aloud how Sabra ever got involved with Klaudius. Leilan doesn't know of their history, and hadn't seemed it fit to ask her. Heck, as if there had ever been time for proper conversing between him and the pearlescent mare - she'd been talking to Kagerus, and to Castile, but not much to him. Not that he needed her to, per say; but he doesn't assume to know anything about her, that's what it is. Castile seems to ponder the subject of Klaudius a tad longer than Leilan had - or perhaps just Sabra. He answers a little late, but the answer comes all the same. She deserves better than me. The gold-tinted roan would have nodded to that, not too long ago. But things have twisted and changed, over time and failures and forgiveness. So instead, he looks sideways to his dragon friend. "She deserves to decide that for herself. All we can do is be grateful for how much they can forgive." he says, voice falling to a softer sound a bit at the second sentence. All in all, it seems that both of the dragon-stallions have made similar mistakes in their lives. And looking back there's only one of those at the root of it - not accepting their love for what they are, not acting on it soon enough. Not daring, perhaps, to let them in and see their vulnerable points. On the subject of children or family, Castile lists a few places - about as many as Leilan himself would have to go look. So the scaled roan nods to him. "Perhaps a back-and-forth is the quickest way to ensure no battle has started here," then he chuckles. "Though I think you'd hear of it soon enough. These things never go about quietly." He flicks his tail in thought. "Perhaps I should do the same. I know some of them take too much after me - restless in their youth. They'll be wandering." he grins, near-guiltily perhaps. Ah well, that was perhaps the nature of things. Any parent would recognize something of themselves in their children - even the things they would have hoped not to pass on. He'd have to coordinate it though... but just maybe, there'd be one or some around that would be able to warn him quick enough. Or like he'd proposed to Cas, he'd be on the back and forth routine. One day for each place to visit, return every evening to check on things. It'd be a busy time... but he wasn't sick yet, and perhaps he would be lucky and find his children quickly. you set my soul alight @[Castile] RE: Super massive Black Hole / Castile - Castile - 12-14-2018 and underneath the layers, I find myself asking what's left a hollowed out form, the skeleton of a ghost, the pitiful echo of what once was castile @[Leilan] I figured we would end the thread since things have been happening lol |
