As they stood and spoke, the sun finally began to burn off some of the lingering fog. It was revealing a landscape he vaguely remembered from the time before. Black glass and grey pumice peeked through tracts of greenery, while the pale sunlight glinted on occasional steaming pools. Not much had changed, physically. He wondered what actually had changed.
"Oh sister, thou dost wound me most severely!" He scoffed in a dramatic mockery of offense at her productivity jab. It was true, but still. Her giggle sent him into a little show of hair flips and affected sighs, trying to make her laugh more. She had a pretty laugh, like pebbles falling on a thin sheet of glass. His manner sobered quickly, however, when she mentioned Kromium's new business. "Well, well, you two have been busy." It was an offhand comment, meant only to keep the conversation going while the implications of the lavender grey mare's statement were processed. Kromium, a king? Well, he'd heard stranger things, but not many.
Would he be staying? He didn't know the answer until he opened his mouth to reply. "I can stick around, I guess. If you'll have me, that is. I'm sure there's plenty to do in a new reign. Think brother will be as happy to see me as you were, darling?" Well. It was important, if he wanted a place to kip for a while. They'd been closer, as children, though to be fair, they hadn't spent much time together. Maybe it was time to give this whole family duty thing a shot.
So am I loveless or do I just love less?
