    COTY

    Assailant -- Year 226

    QOTY

    "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


    Her whisper is the Lucifer - any
    #8
    Brynmor's question has her at a bit of a loss, admittedly, and Zojja is irked. She hadn't had a plan, because him waking up hadn't really been in the cards. She probably would have simply slunk away if he'd just woken up as easily as he dozed in the snow, but the fact of the matter was that he hadn't, and all of his mumbling had only served to intrigue her further when she could have simply meandered off again. What does she want? Zojja cocks a back hoof, thoughtful. "Answers," she says at last. Hey, he's not the only one who can be cryptic. Just because she's not pressing the issue doesn't mean that she doesn't want to know who, exactly, he thinks he's killed. Zojja is not terribly fond of being left in the dark.

    As Brynmor edges away from them (not quite so afraid, it seems), Zojja glances at their green companion, smiling wryly at his introduction. "Charmed," she replies, turning back to the greying stallion. Lupei's comment leaves her smile still tugging faintly at the corners of her mouth - less pronounced, but there all the same. Brynmor can hear them both, of course, and his threatening display is certainly fearsome, albeit (understandably) a bit poorly-aimed - he sort of snarls at the space between them, and Zojja's eyes flick fleetingly to Lupei - a silent Really? - before returning to the blind man. His words earn him a frown, and the dun mare shifts her weight to her other leg, considering Brynmor for a moment while the green stallion strolls forward to blow a breath to him. For an alleged murderer, he is remarkably clean - no blood on his stockings or the wide, wide blaze that encompasses his face.  It's possible that it happened some time ago, she supposes, but he does seem awfully rattled now.

    "I don't think you're stupid." This is a lie. Zojja is prone to assuming everyone is stupid until they prove otherwise. "But I've never met a self-professed murderer before. I was under the impression that's something you're meant to keep secret." Her hooves crunch in the snow as she comes to join Lupei, whuffling softly as she reaches out to offer Brynmor a breath as well. This close, she can take the opportunity to get a closer look at him. There's still no sign he's even remotely been in a struggle, and perhaps he's simply had a bad dream, but - oh. Zojja's eyes widen a little. She's not wholly certain of it, but she seems to have caught the faintest whiff of blood. Casually, the dun circles away from the gray stallion, settling nearer to Lupei's haunch instead. Hey, better safe than sorry, and Brynmor doesn't seem overly comfortable with close contact, anyway.

    She could ask him his name, she supposes, but other things are gnawing at her right now. Zojja glances thoughtfully at Lupei for a moment, and then, decisively, takes a closer step to Brynmor, arching her neck.

    "Did they deserve it?"

    ooc; Figured I'd play a bit with the quest aftermath ie: smelling a tiny bit like blood, but if that's not allowed per the quest ending or you'd simply prefer not to have Brynmor actually have proof that he did anything, feel free to play it off as Zoj psyching herself out - he's been talking about it just long enough that she halfway thinks he's not just kidding, anyway, lol.
