take my head, kick it in

break some bread for all my sins

Following his conversation with Lucrezia and Magnus, Dahmer had excused himself so that he may consider his options in solitude. He had no doubts about remaining within Tephra, and suspected that he would do so long-term, but what did he want to contribute? His thoughts had been tugged back to the Subway, to Azza, and the black beast had spent his evening in warm nostalgia.

Today, he has come to his decision, and finds that he is much more at ease. Instead of immediately seeking out Magnus, however, Dahmer is searching for his beautiful new peafowl friend.

He finds her closer to the volcano than he has yet to venture. It's warmer here, though not uncomfortable, and Lucrezia's scent hangs pleasantly in the air. Dahmer grins lopsidedly at the painted mare and greets her warmly, blue eyes leveling on her face. "There you are," he murmurs, amusement playing on his face, "I've been searching night and day for you." Feigning fatigue, his ears droop and his head hangs low.

Only able to hold the expression for a few moments, Dahmer chuckles and raises his head back up, his blue eyes finding Lucrezia's.

"You've missed me in these last twenty-four hours, I hope?"

Dahmer shifts his weight comfortably, blue eyes taking a second to appreciate the volcano that rises high into the blue sky behind his companion.
