    COTY

    Assailant -- Year 226

    QOTY

    "But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura

    haze like a fever
    i fell like a dreamer for sweet tea and lemonade; it clings to my t-shirt it’s loud and it lingers, designed to suffocate. i light up to find what i’ve known all this time, there’s some beauty here yet
    The conversation that Tähti carries with her only adds to the pleasantry of their travels. Wishbone finds herself smiling as the younger girl tells stories and memories of her birth-home. She can practically taste the girl’s excitement at seeing Hyaline again, and Wishbone can only imagine what her own excitement might be like when she returns to Tephra (she already has a trip planned to speak with her parents about this next adventure in her life).

    The warmth of their trip only expands further within Wishbone’s chest when she spots a familiar face approaching to greet them. Kagerus had been in Hyaline when the mahogany girl had first visited with her mother, over a year ago, though there had been no fanciful title to go with her introduction. Still, the title Kagerus does give causes Wishbone’s ears to prick in surprise and her eyes to scan the painted mare’s face with more interest. Queen Consort would certainly mean she is the mate of Solace (and thereby the lover of Solace, if Wishbone’s assumptions about mates are true).

    Having not seen her sister in the distance, approaching the meeting, Wishbone makes a mental note to go find the queen after they have finished their conversation here. “Congratulations on your promotion, Queen Kagerus.” Her voice is light and warm, but there’s a hint of a flutter in her voice that suggests she knows exactly what the promotion means.

    The heiress offers a gentle look toward Breckin after her introduction. While she would have been fine with her fellow diplomats announcing the news, she’s grateful for their thoughtfulness. “Nerine has gone through some recent changes.” Honey-whiskey voice pauses to regard the best way to announce the death of an important leader. “Queen Hestia has recently passed on to the Afterlife. She left Scorch the throne and she rules in Hestia’s place. She has announced me as heiress to Nerine, once I am ready to take the throne.” None of them — Scorch, the rest of the Leviathans, Wishbone herself — know exactly when that will happen.

    “We hope our relations with Hyaline will remain steadfast through this time and into the future.” She pauses then, curious to know of the queen’s reaction to this news.
