daedalus ---
When Daedalus turns his head to face Matilda, he briefly wonders if he is seeing a ghost. He felt rather ghostly and melancholy among these ruins—it would not surprise him to discover something otherworldly within their walls. She is as pale as a specter and as beautiful as a lovely memory. Dae blinks once, then again, slowly releasing a breath.
It’s a few quiet moments later that the orbited stallion finally realizes what the mare had said. He blinks once again and lifts his head to its full height.
“Why on earth would I be offended by the moon?” he answers, pointedly glancing between a few of the planets spinning around him and Matilda’s eyes. Then his eyes narrow as he realizes that perhaps she is offended by his appearance and he huffs, already affronted.
“Are you offended by something?” Dae asks, voice low with indignation. He grunts and glances up at the moon before sputtering, “You, I mean you look like you pissed off a field of lavender, so—” He stops suddenly, his hubris already getting ahead of him.
“Sorry,” he grumbles.
