Assailant -- Year 226
"But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura
this is the road to ruin - anyone

BETTER BEWARE, I GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT DEVIL-MAY-CARE WITH A LUST FOR LIFE
Autumn had managed to slip in right behind summer. The silent and chilly grasp engulfing the territory seamlessly so that Ygritte had not noticed the thickness of her fur. When autumn came she could always feel and itch as her coat thickened, her coral tresses lengethed and catching in the slightest breeze. This year happened gently, like a calm after the storm. Amber tinted lenses frequently scan the kingdom. With word of the war drawing out, the bay woman breathed a little easier. Slept a little deeper. What causes her stern features to relax though now was the sight of Kreios moving against the wooded backdrop. Ygritte watches him from a distance as he moves. The feline paws moving with a soundless grace as they pulled the massive stallion along their home's border. It was good to be alone sometimes. Ygritte could understand the king better than he may realize for now that the twins were old enough to play alone, she could breath a little more freely. Lobes flicker within the flower crown that rested upon her poll. The heaviness that seemed to drag each limb of the spotted stallion down, perhaps thoughts were that drove him onward though (after all his features were mixed with a bit of concern). After a few moments of watching him, Ygritte says his name- "Kreios." The two syllables of his name touching the roof of her mouth as lips purse with the final 's' of his name. A small upward tug accompanies her features as she greets her friend, her fellow ruler. Lithe form moves to side near the taller stag, bumping her maw lightly against his shoulder in a friendly greeting. "Good to see your face." The edges of her lips pull to form a playful smile as she laughs lightly for it really was good to be in his presence, perhaps even alone with him again. Perhaps on this autumn afternoon. the could just sit and chat and be normal. Ygritte.

BETTER BEWARE, I GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT DEVIL-MAY-CARE WITH A LUST FOR LIFE The appaloosa has been the most consistent thing in the woman's life as of late. She had said naught of Mandan as she had hoped to see the pair of horns come poking over a hill one day but as the year had pressed on the heavy bands of the rusted iron creaked as they clamped over her heart. Yes, she had laid with another and she had her two beautiful twins to show for that. She would not torture herself for that. No. Josselyn, her bay girl with the little pink star, was in and out of the kingdom as she pleased. The girl was old enough to be alone and do as her wild heart willed. The child was curious, a wanderer. The older girl had an insatiable appetite to learn the workings of Beqanna and studying anyone she met. A quiet and reserved child but smart! She was the only one between Mandan and herself but she was a perfect concoction of the two horses. But not long after that did Mandan's presence seem to fade like the soft light of dusk, fat and full till it slivers and winks out completely. She had ached then had mourned in her silence, never allowing anyone to know. It was her burden and she accepted the consequences of loving too deeply too quickly. The candle perhaps burned at both ends? Her smile is soft and genuine. Lobes trained to him as they stood on the grassy knoll that they both seemed to favor in their kingdom. The mare closes the gap between their bodies as she stands close to taller stallion. He always managed to make the mare smile despite her thoughts and worries but the name of the horned stallion on Kreios' lips cause the slightest flinch that could be missed if he were to blink at the very second. "The kingdom is thriving because of us." The mare addresses that firstly because it was true. She nods the wildflower crowned poll, inclining it towards the stallion. There is hesitation when she attempts to form the words to follow. "Mandan-" it was the first she had spoken his name in months, "he left some time ago." Her voice splinters slightly but she steels herself and the jaggedly thud of her heart. "But no, not this year." The woman turns to look at Kreios with a soft smile despite the wetness that now glosses the honey hued pools. "The twins do keep me rather busy." Ygritte knew that Kreios' would recognize the twins as to not be Mandan's but he was a good stallion, a kind partner and would not judge hopefully for their conception came about long after Mandan had vacated the Falls. "What of you? Little ones planned with anyone I should know about?" The mare spoke teasingly as though jealous (though she pried because maybe, just maybe, she was a bit jealous if he said yes) but Kreios is a very attractive stallion. Mares of his choosing were to be blessed to carry the king's young. Ygritte looks back over the land that they called home, the remnants of her smile curling slightly at the edges of the pink muzzle as she moves to stand beside the large male's left side, listening to his reply. Ygritte.

Standing close to him as the first of the evening stars begin to open their eyes and wink playfully, the mare can not help but notice the heat that was felt from the spotted skin of her companion. Autumn was giving way to winter and she very never very good at growing a lush coat but she would fair as she always did every winter. The woman's skull cocks slightly when he mentions that there is in fact a lady in his life. Surprise catches her features and probably more than it truly should. "Well, you devil you." She allows a small laugh to follow through the pink lips. Her attention shifts out over the lay of their land. The stallion deserved a companion and silently Ygritte made a point to seek out this mare. Malicious intent? No. But she was a queen after all and she had a right in which to see who dwelled in her kingdom, right? Of course. A soft sigh follows her teasing statement like a flutter of dove's wings. It's soft and slow on the chilling breeze, a small plume encasing the sound. Amber eyes flicker back to Kreios as the light is fading and his features are darkening with the crest of light. She watches him now, noting how the shadows highlighted and traced the handsome ruggedness of his jaw, the very way his mane lifted and fell back disheveled. She decides to not break this moment with anymore talk but simply leans slightly over to touched her right wither to his left and then lean her own skull against the weight of his neck. So rarely did moments of peace exist like this in Beqanna with such simplicity. "I'm glad you're here, Kreios." The words lingering on the frosted air. "I wouldn't be able to do all of this without you." He truly gave her security when she had none. He helped her become the queen that she is at his side...and it was nice to feel a connection with another equine after so long of mortar and bricking the walls so high that she wasn't able to climb out. Hopefully he did not mind her weight against him for in this moment it was a comfort that she did not realize she had been missing. Ygritte.

The touch of his lips on her shoulder is a warm sensation, like the way you skin warms when sitting next to a hearth side fire, the feeling spreading across your skin and deeply inside you. Amber pools do not seek his gaze but she knew he would see her approval by the way her lips curled into a smile, blooming like a sleepy lily in spring. The security she feels next to him is one that she had not known she had missed till now. She had gotten so use to being the strong one, the quiet one. She had become so independently detached from others that the slightest kindness from most stallions was viewed with suspicion. She had learn to be guarded and hard for the sake of her daughters (to be a strong mother) and for the sake of herself. But now...now it was melting, melting, melting. He is drawing her out and inside the shield maiden's chest, her heart is franticly beating it's delicate wings against the iron clad cage. It is desperate and starved. But not today. Today she will accept his caresses and little murmurs. Today she will reciprocate with a small chuckle as he tickles her russet skin, light eyes dancing against the star lit sky. There is something happening between them and Ygritte is not sure if she wants to fight anymore. She was tired of the heavy chains she used to keep herself level and tied, rattling them to remind herself of when she gave her heart to another. But perhaps Kreios is different. perhaps he will want to see what could happen when Ygritte freed herself of those heavy shackles. Ygritte.
I ran out of babeh slots this last season or Ygritte would be getting plump again! I like where they're going :) it's super cute that Texas arranged their positions but they're starting to have some feels! <3<3 yay happy stories! I'm looking forward to a little one next season if you are :D

His presence alone seems to fortify the woman. There is steeliness in him that Ygritte recognizes within her own being. Had you asked the woman if he would turn into the stallion he was now at her side only a month ago she would have been doubtful, perhaps because she was not the mare that she is now as well. They had come together like a great sonic boom, two separate entities, two minds, two hearts... Ygritte can feel herself blending into his being. They were becoming as one and it was funny the actions that had led up to this very moment, under the night sky of constellations with only the soft song of crickets at their hooves. The tussle of her mane grounds her back to the moment. She feels herself slowly slipping from the rusted shackles that bound her away from all contact and care. There had been such hollow bleakness but now...now the imagine of a spotted half horse/half cat was slowly filling that empty place like grains of sand through an hour glass. (it scares her) His playful question weaves through the fog of her brain, a web of his touch and his heart beat spinning around her. "Hm? Oh my 'pinkness'..." She can not help but laugh though as a foal she was taunted, chastised for it. A symbol of Nativity's promiscuity. "My mother I suppose. She is an immortal with a knack for changing colors." Amber eyes look down at her pelt momentarily before looking back to the masculine features. "I suppose we know what color she was when she and Texas made me." This does truly bring on a peal of laughter for it was obvious. "And you?" She gives a nod towards the feline portion of his limbs before leaning in close with an over exaggerated look-about. "What's it like to have toes?" Ygritte smiles broadly at this handsome, strong, silly man. Her man. Ygritte.
