And Shephard I shall be, for Thee
He frowned. The fairies? Angry? Yes, he supposed they could have a temper, but it had never come about in such a way before.
"The fairies came... they took back what they gave. They taught the greedy a lesson... Beqanna was humbled."
The explanation was painful, though her voice was soothing in its way, and he was empathetic to their loss. It must have hurt them all so deeply, the cost of that connection to the fairies. Their rebuke was a hard lesson. It was clear he must have missed a great time of turmoil to have brought them to such a decision. It was clear he was a part of that reprimand, with his eyesight returned, his runes darkened, his link with their powers severed.
His eyes shifted to her again as she introduced herself, and he smiled apologetically.
I'm Shen'zen. It's a pleasure to meet you Alivia.
She took a step closer and extended her muzzle. His expression softened as he met her with a warm breath and a polite touch. Her dazzling coat shivered, though, and his brow creased in concern.
Oh, I'm sorry. You're cold, we should find you some shelter from this chill. His blank eyes cast about immediately, welcoming this new direction for his life however brief it may be. At least it wasn't standing there confused and lost, so empty. This was his purpose now, and after that.. Well, he'd cross that when he came to it. For now, warmth for Alivia.
There, how's that? he asked, gesturing to a small copse of trees. A little nook of shelter in the open meadow. Though he was in his prime, ageless as he was --or had been, he didn't think to offer the warmth of his own coat. Thick, natural muscle mass insulated him along with a heavy amount of draping, gently curling black hair, and yet he didn't consider anyone might find it helpful to them as he took a step forward in preparation to guide her. If she wished.
