Things change - Ruthless - 05-07-2020 you are a craving I can never satisfy Ruthless RE: Things change - Castile - 05-07-2020 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 @[Ruthless] RE: Things change - Owin - 05-07-2020 The skys are clear, a deep contrast to the storm rolling through his mind. That's why he finds it easier these days to dip into everyone else's thought, to distract him from the fact that his mother was to battle a boy he had grown up with and then possibly be stolen away from him. He continues to make his morning rounds along the Taigan border. The birds shuffled the canopy above, squawking down at him in loud mockery. Any other day he would reveal in their music and appreciate the wildlife that resides in his home. Today he rolls his eyes and let's out an aggravated huff. Her scent meets him first, the wind must have settled just right. She was down wind. Her mind he found easily after - Kalil, home, Taiga. He follows the familiar pull, though they had not spent many days frolicking through the giant redwoods Ruthless was not a stranger. She had been gone for a while, wouldn't his mother expect him to welcome her home? As he approached the presence of a second mind infiltrated his thoughts, Castile. Yes he knew who he was, he had figured it out during the takeover. What was he doing here? His thoughts had seemed unthreatening, always returning to Nash and his interest in the boy. He had not and will not tell anyone but his mother yet of the stallions true form. The buckskin man, traced in bright blue markings approached the duo. Ruthless was now a woman, and for a moment though her mind was familiar the mare standing there took his breath away momentarily. He cleared his throat as his bright, deep blue and purple eyes looked to "Rocky" and then to Ruthless. "Welcome home, Ruthless." his boyish grin was evidence of his happiness to see her. "You are a breath of fresh air, right now." @[Ruthless] @[Castile] RE: Things change - Ruthless - 05-07-2020 you are a craving I can never satisfy Ruthless @[Castile] @[Owin] RE: Things change - Castile - 05-07-2020 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 @[Ruthless] @[Owin] RE: Things change - Owin - 05-07-2020 He watches Castile - Rocky - as the interaction progresses. He knows that conversations had been held between his mother and Lilliana prior to.. well everything. Though he did not know the stallion on a personal level, he trusted his mother's judgement, as well as Lilliana's and so for now he would simply keep an eye on the new kid in town. His smile is strained as Ruthless laughs and then makes a remark about Aten. Before he can reply her attention is back on Castile and the stallion is already explaining some of the situation. Aten had disappeared. Owin's gut dropped and the expression in his eyes was conflicted and stormy. Aten may not have had anything to do with creating him, but he had raised him. He was his father in every sense of the word, and Kalil his brother. To think that their disappearance was of their own doing? With out a single word? No, he refused to believe it. When Elio's thoughts suggested that Aten had abandoned Taiga, he had wanted nothing more than to take Elio then and there during the takeover. His mothers peace had touched him gently however and he was able to control his impulse. Owin knew that this information would be hard for Ruthless. Kalil had told him about his growing relationship with the girl, and Lilliana had watched over the girl for many moons. Owin's blue/purple eyes studied Ruthless as Castile revealed what had gone down in Taiga. Elio is challenging my mother. he almost chokes on the words. He knew his mom was anything but a fighter, but also knew she would not back down. She and Lilliana have been leading since my father's and Kalil's disappearance. There has been alot happening. this last part is delivered with as much ease as possible, his own hurt storming beneath his eyes. @[Ruthless] @[Castile] RE: Things change - Ruthless - 05-09-2020 isn't she lovely? Our uninformed mare stays ignorant to the ominous tension growing between the men, not feeling the urge to play psychologist to hormones. Had she known the truth behind the horridly thick air, she would have felt different. But alas, Ruthless as always is the last to arrive on all information. A curse perhaps. She does acknowledge, however, the slight question that arises across the chestnut’s expression. Part of her lingers on him for a moment as if suddenly a piece of the puzzle didn’t fit right. Or is it just the manic guilt jading her judgment? He carries on naturally, a charismatic type with good and trouble mixed into a hazy blur. His smile is charming and his voice steady, as if to almost pull her away from her thoughts altogether. That is until he mumbles politics. Her head tilts, soft cream waves falling from her face in clumps of tangled strands. Her hazel eyes harden as if maybe then she might see him better. He remains a chestnut, jovial stud. New to Taiga. Obviously well informed. Surprisingly nonchalant about the internal uproar. Annoyed, she throws her eyes to Owin as he begins to speak and feels herself waver. Elio is challenging my mother, Lilliana and Elio leading, my father and Kalil’s disappearance. Anger flushes like the feeling of sun rays against her coat, but she remains silent—for a second. Her mind is a whirlwind of emotion and all that continues to whisper in her ear is Wolfbane. Wolfbane. Wolfbane. Dark magic had been only a fairy-tale until Wolfbane had entered her life for the first time. How he had warped into a monster of tentacles as easily as swishing her tail. How Lilliana had cautiously danced around his anger and threat with soft tones and careful wording. How graceful Lilliana was. “Unfortunate,” she manages to speak, and while it is level and firm Ruthless is not ignorant enough to believe her discomfort remains hidden. Unlike Lilliana, our yellow doe is all but graceful. “Do you know each other?” Finally, a sentence falls and she glances from male to male with blatant annoyance blushed across her face before settling to Rocky, “I am confused here. Are you just ignorant and ungrateful to Taiga, or is there something here I am not getting?” Ruthless father x mother or rank @[Castile] @[Owin] RE: Things change - Castile - 05-14-2020 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 @[Owin] @[Ruthless] RE: Things change - Owin - 05-17-2020 Even though she tried to bite back her feelings, the pain and confusion was still there and Owin's storming blue and purple eyes did not leave Ruthless. If Kalil could not be here for her, he would. It was the least he could do for both of them. Even as Castile talked Owin watched her, only for the briefest of moments - when Ruthless asked if they knew each other did his gaze flicker towards the stallion stranger. The confrontation wasn't quite a good time for introductions. We have not meet officially. not that the sorrel would have introduced himself truthfully. Even now he is "Rocky" but Owin could possibly understand why if they could talk one on one. Like his mother he was never one to jump to conclusions irrationally, but he was cautious. He would keep a close eye on Castile for the time being. One's true intentions always made themselves known eventually, and if Castile had no intentions that would hurt Taiga then he would have nothing to worry about. Owin shifted his position angling himself closer to Ruthless as the attention was moved to her. His brow arched with curiosity at how Ruth would answer the question. Would she still claim Taiga as her home? Or had she found somewhere that fit her better? Owin feelings are too loud for words and too shy for the world @[Ruthless] sorry for the shoty post. Owin is just kind of hanging out in the background - support for Ruthless and studying "Rocky" quietly. RE: Things change - Ruthless - 05-19-2020 isn't she lovely? Guilt swallows her as a soft frown forms across Rocky’s face before a solemn tone follows. Nash had invited him, he is too new to choose sides, his introduction to the Taiga was that fiasco. He is curiously well mannered, and carefully spoken. Though the begrudging reminder that Kalil was truly no different still knocks in the back of her mind, telling her she is being too haste on the chestnut. Perhaps she is being too presumptuous. And with a blink, she is lost in the light humour that ignites his eyes and feels the harsh warmth of what should turn her entire cheeks red. Owin offers hardly anything in response, a peculiar thing but Ruth decides best to hold her tongue. If there is anything happening beyond her knowledge, it doesn’t appear like either will release information. It is as if Brine haunts her even now, continuously ensuring she is hidden in the dark from monsters and manipulation. Their attention changes and it isn’t until Ruthless feels the silence surround her that her focus returns. Had she truly been lost in thought, she may have had to ask the (annoyingly attractive) male to repeat himself. Fortunately, she was able to catch the tail end of his last few words before her past had engulfed her whole. “Aten and Kalil took me when they realized my mother was in no condition to continue raising me,” she has no emotion tied to her sentence as it falls from her mouth, though a cheerful light does glimmer as she glances to Owin, “what would you say? Two and a half years now I have been here?” Ruthless father x mother or rank @[Castile] @[Owin] |
