Agetta is pregnant again, a tryst with a kind stallion she is not entirely sure hadn’t been some kind of forest god. She will find him again in the spring, she thinks, so she can introduce him to his children but that is all she wants from him now. A strange friendship born out of her restlessness, that desire to be a mother again. To have someone to care for, a tiny piece of purpose.
She’s not begun to show but she knows the feeling well enough by now. It brings a smile to her face and she imagines, but does not remember, that it must have been like this for all her children. Similar trysts, never remaining with someone for too long.
She does not recognize him at all, this dark stranger, nor does she remember the words that had shattered her heart. Agetta goes to him because the word he speaks stirs something in her heart, because she is someone who cares for and worries about those she has not met.
Her dark blue eyes are clouded with this worry as she approaches, not coming too close - looking him over for signs of wounds or distress. When she speaks her voice is soft, like what you might use to soothe a wild, injured animal.
“Are you alright?” She does not know that this is what she had asked him the last time they saw each other as well, that this was what came after her joy at finding him alive.
as if I would ever not reply to you <3
