The pair had been trekking up the mountain for what seemed like an eternity (long enough to get them wet to the bone, anyway), and when Nihlus stumbles on a loose rock he hadn't been careful enough to notice, he almost wants to turn back and tell Nu that they should come back another day. Not because of the blood streaming down his knees now, but because of the potential blood that could be spilt on the part of his lover. His safety is Nih's primary concern.
But suddenly, the top of the mountain becomes visible, and with some encouraging words and an almost constant stream of under-his-breath burs and wickers, Nihlus leads them both to the peak. His knees ache and his chest heaves from exertion, steam rising off of his body even as rain bombards it. But they've made it; and as Nuage comes to stand by his side, they both take in the sight of She who they came for today.
Nihlus doesn't know her name, but as he looks at her (beautiful and white, faintly glowing and with a voice far wiser than he could ever hope to become), he knows <i>her.</i> She is the feeling in the pit of his stomach when he looks at Nuage; she is the warmth the blankets them when they lay pressed together on cool nights; and she is the force that guided them up the mountain today.
The tall stallion presses close to Nu, taking in what the fairy has to say with rapt ears. It doesn't surprise him that she knows their names, but he stutters nonetheless when he speaks up for the pair of them. <b>"I - we -"</b> He grins foolhardily, flashing his eyes to Nuage's for a moment and then back to the fair. <b>"We want to get pregnant."</b> With these words, the fair is forgotten, and he has only eyes for the beautiful boy who managed to capture the heart of a man who once thought he did not have one.
His voice, at next sounding, is barely a whisper. <b>"To start a family."</b>
