embrace your darkness [Hephaestus]

[Jesper]

Casual saunter ceases as sensitive nares catch the trace cologne of another – a male. Nape curves cranium about so that left orb could catch a glimpse of where he had just been.  The figure is equine though distinctly larger, taller, and thicker. This made no difference to Jesper. Weight sinks onto hind pillars before front limbs pirouette chassis one-hundred and eighty degrees. Now facing the similar hued steed, hindquarters push physique forward. Noting that the unfamiliar stallion already held one ear upon him, smaller ebony slows his pace. He approaches with noble poll low enough that whiskers of muzzle almost drag across the foliage-strewn path. Jesper brings himself to a halt, several paces away, before he offers words that, he can only hope will comfort.
 
“I am sorry to intrude on your snack, sir. My name is Jesper. I just want to say that it is a nice to meet another who admires these woods as much as I do. I used to call this place home, actually.” Voice trails off with a hint of somberness. Ceil blue gaze does not stare at other but, instead, remains low at his hooves. He, too, meant no harm towards this stranger. Having spent the first couple of years with no one’s company, Jesper values the presence of another. And so, he could not pass up the opportunity to introduce himself and, perhaps, offer his friendship. He could only hope that this black would be willing to engage him in conversation.
