[private] i was looking for a way out

[Gale]

Gale this is going to break me clean in two -- this is going to bring me close to you When the cursed creature had promised Mazikeen that he wouldn’t take another lover, it had never been his intention to keep his word. With Power in his grasp nothing and no one are out of reach, and the chaotic nature of the beast makes novelty alluring. Yet as Mazikeen strides toward him, he is reminded yet again why he has never been tempted. She looks positively ferocious, and as he buries his head in her shaggy white fur in greeting he finds that she smells of the flowering trees. They’ve covered Hyaline in riotous color, and he wonders if she’s been hunting in them. A purr is his agreement, rumbling loudly before he pulls away to meet her orange eyes. Gale nods in reply to her second assertion; the sky will be clear, with the moon thin and dark, and the snow is all but gone. A beautiful night indeed, one that stretches out with endless possibilities. Does she pull the idea from his mind, he wonders, or has it occurred to her of its own volition? It doesn’t matter. He’s grinning, unbothered by the magic that is slipping away from him in his delight. “Pangea?” He suggests, remembering the pretty purple Desire. Maybe not the leader, he amends; that might bring about a quicker end. Better to hunt the weaker links - children, the ungifted - and use them against their families. He’s already gotten quite a bit from Pangea - authority over them as king of the east, their magical entity - but there’s no reason that they can’t take a little more.
