The day is a dark and dreary one. Though the icy rains have passed, a few chilly droplets still land on my scarred back now and again, which I shake off with an irritable snort. This is the plan that we had made, and despite the physical discomfort I have no intention of going back on my word.
That is something Loess and I have in common.
I wait, safe behind the border, until I see a flicker of movement in the distance. Though I am without supernatural senses, the gust of wind that blows down from the mountains carries with it the scent of the golden figure. It is Valdis, the filly I'd met briefly at her mother's side. Not who I might have chosen, but I am operating on a schedule, and my time is already nearly up.
Taking to the skies is easy in this realm of rocky altitudes, and I sweep much farther north before heading south to land beside the buckskin tobiano, knowing it will appear as though I cam from the heart of the kingdom. There is something about her that is familiar, something that tickles at the back of my mind in the same way that her mother had. I frown, for just a moment, and then I smile.
"I need to go somewhere." I tell her without introduction. She knows who I am, knows that I am a captive. Well, was a captive until a few hours ago, when I had taken the deal that I will soon come to regret.
I trust her youth and her rank, knowing that when mixed with adventure is a recipe for recklessness that is rarely matched. Treating her as an adult is the final key, and it is all I can to keep from crossing my pinion feathers in the hope that it works.
"Will you go with me? Or should I find someone else?" I ask as though I am in need of an escort, someone to keep me from escaping Hyaline. Such is the way of neutral captivity, I know, promising not to escape until a sentence is served. I, however, have served more time than anyone should, and feel no discomfort at the half-truth I plan to spin for Valdis were she to ask.
@[Valdis] only por favor >:}
