i'm on the wrong side of heaven, and the righteous side of hell
Immortality was as much a curse as it was a blessing. His memories never had a chance to become ghosts. They never had a chance to fade into that place that long-lost memories go before they are forgotten entirely. While they were never at the forefront of his mind (that spot had always been occupied by his kingdom), they lurked in that shadowy place, whispering and watching. Red eyes, blue hide, panther kings, raven queens, serpent women...all of them there, all of them fresh.
Immortality was damnation, but his kingdom needed him and so damnation was a sacrifice he was willing to make. Give and give and give, until the well ran dry. That was his mantra.
He offers Kavi a smile at the mention of the twins, nodding his head in agreement. "They come from good stock. I don't know that they'll make a name for themselves like you could in our day, but I hope they try anyways." he says, and he means it. No, The Chamber wasn't what it was when Warship and Kavi headed the ranks, but it was still here, and their bloodline was Chamber through and through.
As the moon fights its way into the sky their conversation churns on, playful and carefree and unlike anything Warship has ever participated in. He has only ever worn the face of General, never the face of friend. The laughter feels both foreign and familiar, and he can't say that its entirely unpleasant. He dodges the buckskins kicks easily enough, years of battle training taking over and leading him away. He does allow one soft blow to land though, and he counters it with a chuckle and a toss of his tangled mane. "Please. I've had leaves fall off of the trees that hit me harder than that." he says with a teasing smirk.
But when the stallion shifts his coat, the smirk quickly morphs into full blown laughter, the kind that started in his belly before rumbling into his chest. Even the birds, so peaceful and quiet before, squawk in indignation at the foreign sound. "Old Fart I may be, but I didn't make it this long by being Stupid Old Fart. I wouldn't dream of taking on a God himself." he says through the laughter.
Warship has never really had a friend, but he is quite sure friends don't beat up friends.
