The casual chattiness collapses into chaos in an instant. Litotes is just beginning to blush at the feeling of Kensa’s reciprocated flirtation when Rhaegor blasts through the group. The rushing prince’s wing grazes Lie with enough force to knock him a bit, forcing him to readjust his footing in the precarious sand. The pale stallion widens his eyes in shock, then whips his head around to watch the boy sprint around. His eyes narrow suspiciously as the prince settles back around. A tiny ball of anger and injustice churns in the pit of his chest but quickly fades for Lie is not a creature of ill will. The two dark emotions fade into curiosity and mild infatuation. i don't want your pity, i just want somebody near me
Only when Will steps forth to garner the attention of the crowd does Lie tear his gaze away from Rhae. His eyes flick down to Kensa for just a second, the smallest of smiles creeping up at the reminder of his sweet (more than a) friend. The antlered princess announces a scavenger hunt - his heart skips a beat at the thought of being alone (even if just for a moment) with Kensa. The stallion feels her tail against him and immediately he knows he’s been chose. A grin widens across his face - he is delighted. His gaze is dragged away from Kensa when another arrives. Lie hopes the newcomer finds a partner, but his mind is already wandering to what might happen when the two are alone.
Lie follows his partner obediently, hooves dipping monotonously in and out of the sand. “What do you think we’ll find?” he murmurs, eying Kensa mischievously before nudging her nape. They curve around a large rock, splashing through the water without a thought of who or what is around them. The cremello comes to stop with Kensa, shuddering underneath the kisses she places along his jawline. He leans into her touch before burying his muzzle in her mane, inhaling her sweet and intoxicating scent.
“Let’s go this way,” he whispers, hoping to deter any others from following them. Truthfully, Lie has no idea where he is going when he begins walking. He assumes that Kensa is following and presses onward in a nervous silence. Before the silence grows unbearable, he spots a cave hidden in the sea cliffs. “Kensa!” he gasps in a low voice, “Look!” Lie breaks into a gallop, foaming waves of sea water crashing against his legs. He jumps into the mouth of the dark cave, pauses as his hooves clop against the erosion smooth rock. “What do you think, Kensa?” the stallion questions as he looks back at her. “Should we go in?”
Something warm and excited glows in his gaze - the feeling of experiencing a game so carefree with someone he really admires mixed with the sensuous ripplings of adulthood create a drunken sensation. All Lie wants is to draw close to her
