Sidewalk scenes and black limousines [Jesper] - Eyas - 08-13-2019 I HAVE THREE EYES TWO TO LOOK, AND ONE TO SEE Eyas @[Jesper] RE: Sidewalk scenes and black limousines [Jesper] - Jesper - 08-13-2019 Living on such a remote piece of Beqanna kept the happenings of the mainland on the other side of the bay. The bay served as a physical barrier to isolate the Icicles. If you did not possess wings, you had to swim across, which is easily a deterring factor. Jesper did not know what events are or, were, taking place across the kingdoms. He could not know without travelling there or, without one of them travelling here. He supposes that most leaders would not waste sending a diplomat to him when, they could more easily, and more importantly, reach Heartfire. To some degree, Jesper enjoyed not being responsible for such a large turf. On the other hand, his social nature feels quite deprived most days. Jesper could not know the implications of his duel with Sabrina. He had no clue what motivations or, possible ulterior motives, prompted her to challenge him except for those stated in the battle. Jesper also admits to not knowing more about Sabrina despite the fact that she lived right under his nose. Regardless, the black steed is grateful for the outcome. He vows to be more active and alert when it comes to his territory. So, when a crisp breeze delivers the scent of a stranger to him, Jesper perks right up. It seems the recent battle still had him on edge. Sensitive salmon domes filter through the limited fragrances until he comes across the unfamiliar perfume again. His chassis tenses before the stallion puts himself into motion. His body is still stiff, even days after the battle but, the bruises are healing, slowly. The break in his right front leg is on the mend, thanks immensely to Caelestra; though, there is still some healing left. Jesper refrains from bearing the same amount of weight carried by the other three limbs. Instead, he favors it slightly as he walks across the barren landscape. Jesper continues until his light blue gaze rests upon a striking golden figure in the distance. Her mane stands erect and, is the color of his current pelt. The early sun radiates off of her wings, which bear hues of stark white against captivating navy and black. The stallion studies this visitor as he marches towards her. His poll lifts as he draws closer and then, Jesper halts a few steps away. Bronze-tipped lobes flick with uncertainty as he attempts to read her intentions. At last, the black steed settles, into a square halt, with one ear pricked forward while the other alternates between surveying the tundra and, resting against his poll. Try as he may, Jesper is unable to get a read on this winged, buckskin lady. She seems right at home, he thinks as he observes how relaxed she stands. His pale blue gaze is cold and hard as he anticipates another challenge. At last, he speaks up with a tone that is dry and unwavering. "Excuse me. Who are you? What are you doing here?" jesper carnage x bethanie @[Eyas] 1st, I apologize if it does not flow. I am excited about where this will go and couldn't wait to give you words! 2nd, sorry for Jesper's attitude. It seems he is finding it hard to trust right now.

Despite his cold greeting, Jesper is a curious one. He feels no different towards this gold, sapphire and black visitor. However, given his recent encounter with Sabrina, every fiber of his being screams to proceed with his caution. His right front leg is almost back to normal, thanks entirely to the healing powers of Caelestra. Of course, he trusts that Brennen would have found a way if there was no other option. The male shifts his weight to feel the residual stiffness in the tendons of his right fore. It serves as a reminder to never let your guard down. He allows his gaze to refocus onto the female as she introduces herself. Her tone is sincere and, Jesper feels his nervous tension easing. His poll lowers slightly and, the muscles in his neck no longer strain. His bronze-tipped lobes flick forward when he recognizes Heartfire's name. By her genuine delivery, Jesper does not doubt the validity in her statement. He allows the winged lady to finish her sentence and processes it with a quizzical brow. Moments later, Jesper finds his voice and replies to Eyas in a tone that is both diplomatic and curious. "I see. Well, Eyas, I am Jesper. Though, I get the feeling you already know that. You have my attention. I am curious to hear what information you bring." jesper carnage x bethanie @[Eyas] RE: Sidewalk scenes and black limousines [Jesper] - Eyas - 08-26-2019 I HAVE THREE EYES TWO TO LOOK, AND ONE TO SEE Eyas @[Jesper] tl;dr: Eyas uses her vision manipulation to plant a fake vision of her dead brother Gale right beside her, like an imaginary friend. Then she dives into Jesper's sight and looks through his life until she finds Lavendel and Camomila. Through Lavendel's sight she finds Juice and his twin Jager, but can only see through Juice's eyes in the present. She tells Jesper everything she can about Juice, lip-reads Lavendel naming him that, and is really tired from all her hard work. I'm leaving it up to you as far as: if Jesper feels Eyas using her power on his vision, and if he wants to see fake Gale appear/disappear or not. He wouldn't see any of the visions Eyas sees, since she's not sharing them with him (except for Gale). RE: Sidewalk scenes and black limousines [Jesper] - Jesper - 08-26-2019 Jesper could do nothing except wait. Her prelude is innocent enough though, the black wonders why she came to him and, not Heartfire. Her gold pelt bears the distinct must of moss and redwood that characterizes Taiga. Both Jesper and Eyas answer to Nerine. Thus, the black feels skeptical about the information the winged lady possesses. Is it truly diplomatic or, is it more personal? His bronze-tipped ears flick back and forth while his pale blue gaze fixates on her dark-rimmed lips, waiting for them to move with her next words. Without realizing it, Jesper stops breathing. He cannot wait for her to share what she knows and yet, a part of him worries about what she has to say. He is waiting so heavily on her to speak that Jesper nearly bursts when she does. He releases the breath that he had been holding and, catches himself leaning towards her in earnest. He leans back just as another equine flickers into focus beside her. Its pelt is a beautiful shade of blue and, it, also, carries a pair of wings. Jesper blinks a time or two but the equine remains. He is not imagining it. While he believes what he is seeing is truly there, he remains unfamiliar with this type of Beqanna magic. Never mind that! Jesper reminds himself and, refocuses upon the lady. As his light blue gaze meets her deep black pools, the male is overcome by a new sensation. Despite there being quite a bit of space between them, Jesper can feel an energy infiltrating his mind. He presumes it belongs to Eyas. He wants to back away. He wants to avoid whatever plans she has for him but, then she speaks. Her tone is steady and, laced with warning as she mentions Sabrina. She goes on to say "You have a son," and, at that very moment, Jesper cannot process the rest of the sentence. He shakes his head and repeats the line, over and over. He blinks a few times in rapid succession and then, his mandible pulls away from his maxilla. The stallion stands there, mouth agape for what seems like ages. Then, her voice breaks his stagnant thought process. She relays that his son has a sister. And, that he calls Sylva home. Jesper is dumbfounded. Speechless. If he could, he would ask her how she knows this. Her words stirred up so many questions. He just couldn't put them together. Closing his agape maw, the black makes an effort to look clearly at the winged mare. The apparition is gone and, Eyas, the poor dear, appears so drained. He could not ask any more of her. It is awfully generous of her to make the trek to him to deliver this information. Besides, he could not think straight now. Who could? His mind keeps flicking back and forth between doubt and shock. She spoke of the boy in the present which could only mean that Juice, and his twin, were born to Lavendel. Yet, Eyas made no mention of his first love. Jesper searched high and low for the dunskin splash mare. For days, he patrolled Sylva's border. He called her name until his voice was hoarse. There had been no sign of her. There still was no sign of her. Jesper catches himself getting lost in his inner monologue and, shakes his head violently. Bronze-streaked tresses fly and snap against his muscular nape until, at last, the black stands still once more. A wave of shock causes his patellas to buckle and, for a moment, both front limbs quiver and, appear as though they might give out. They don't. Jesper remains upright on all fours and, finally, gazes clearly upon Eyas. He swallows the largest lump ever to build in his throat and, opens his maw though, this time, words pass through. "Eyas, I am not sure how to thank you. For everything." The black finds a disconnect between his thoughts and his vocal chords so, his speech is choppy; his tone wavers. "I recognize you are exhausted. You are welcome to stay until you are strong enough to return home. I offer my den for shelter, as well." Before his mind wanders off to process what to do with the information she delivered, Jesper feels the need to say one more thing. "I imagine this information comes with a price. What do I owe you Eyas?" jesper carnage x bethanie @[Eyas] |
