here it comes with no warning; Dahmer, Ellyse, Nayl, Any

[Dahmer]

Their journey is tiring, but it's not excessively strenuous. About halfway through, Dahmer loses himself to his thoughts, but there's something about Lucrezia's presence that keeps distracting him. The black stallion follows in her wake, just far enough back that he can occasionally brush her feathers or her flank with his muzzle, but he makes an effort to keep his blue-eyed gaze from lingering on his Queen, lest Ellyse take notice.

His journey to Nerine with Jord can still be considered the recent past, and Dahmer finds that the salty sea air makes him excited to see Nayl once again. She had been forgiving of their intrusion, had even taken time to give the pair of Tephrans a tour of the inner Nerine, and her winged son had been pleasant company, as well. The black beast can't think of any negatives from his last trip here; perhaps their relationship with the coastal territory will eventually turn into a well-founded friendship.

He pulls up to Lucrezia's left side, his dark torso brushing against her feathered appendages as he shifts and rests his weight on one side. His brilliant blue eyes sweep the rocky coastline before they turn to his Queen beside him, a smile playing on his lips. "Fancy a swim?"
