Once Jason had stopped speaking he affectionately examined Voudou. She did look silly with the light blue specks of Jason speckled throughout her dark frame, but it oddly felt appropriate. Voudou was already sticking to him, and he was enjoying the contrast. To the outside world the two horses may have appeared to be complete opposites, but Jason would contest such an accusation. To him Voudou was both beautiful and brilliant in her own way. From the bite she gave to the other mare to the gentle touch she gave Jason Voudou was a complex creature.
Voudou’s words, which broke the pause, couldn’t have been more wrong. Jason’s eyes narrowed as he shook his head portraying his disapproval of her answer. He wasn’t disapproving of her, but rather her belief that she couldn’t live in a place of “good”. Jason knew that his list of sins were definitely longer than hers. She had been “sassy” (her words) to the other mare, but in Jason’s opinion that had been somewhat warranted. He hadn’t liked the tense argumentative behavior between the two, but it’s what happens sometimes. No one was perfect including the blue stallion himself.
The black mare went onto give a basic description of herself. She used words such a troublemaker, problems, pain, and mental anguish all if which upset Jason to some degree. He continued to shake his head slightly as she spoke. ”That is not you.” He murmured quietly. Jason would not believe such a thing. ”Those may be things that you have done…but what you do does not define you.” He went on, his expression softening with every word. ”Being good is more of a goal for me. I’ve done things, things I’m not proud of.” His teeth clenched when he recalled his own betrayal. He had betrayed his great love- his love for Parvati, Heaven’s Gates, and his son, Julian- all at once. That’s what drew him away in the first place.
”But if somehow I am wrong about you. It doesn’t matter.” He continued ”I wish for you to come with me. I want you in my life- I want to know more.” He place his nose to her cheek and exhaled his warm breath into her dark hair, pressing more blue hairs back onto her face that she had just cleaned. ”So where do you want to go? I can get us a herd..or we can travel to the neutral kingdom, or perhaps the light mythicals. The Gates are still open, and due to the absence of everyone we can make it what we want.” Jason’s ties were just as free as hers, and he knew they would make a home wherever they went.
