Jesper

Looking back, Jesper finds it uncanny how much like a fox he was prior to the faeries blessing him. His way of thinking (a sharper intellect than your average horse), his ability to achieve so much with just his words, and his mannerisms all bore trace hints to his canine-shifting future. It is as if the magic lay in his genes; as if the foundation was there already, and time (and fae magic) was the key to unlock it. He always felt as though something was missing though, he could never pinpoint it. Standing before the slate roan Queen of Nerine, the black feels whole. On the contrary, he also feels utterly exposed as if his hide, the most opaque color possible, is transparent and allows Heartfire to see all there is. Where many would feel uncomfortably vulnerable, the black has nothing to hide or, be ashamed of so, why get all worked up?
He listens carefully to Heartfire's response then, nods as she states her confidence in him. His icy blue gaze holds her cerulean eyes with a steady focus, even as the familiar scent of Brennen fills his nostrils. Jesper would like nothing more than to embrace him but, their reunion could wait. The bronze-tipped lobe closest to the immortal, mahogany stallion swivels to hone in and track his approach. Jesper catches his brief acknowledgement of the mare but then, the winged male falls silent to wait for his grandson's reply. The black gathers his thoughts before he parts his maw to allow words to pass. His tone is steady and direct but, still polite. "I came to formally introduce myself and, to ask what expectations you have for the Isle. I intend to hold a meeting, when I return, to obtain a head count, announce the changes and, make sure everyone is abiding by Nerine's wishes. I know you expect our loyalty to you, as well as, Taiga and our allies. I assure you: I will establish a personal rapport with each resident and, keep a watchful eye over the lot. You have my complete loyalty and, if ever there is a rally in arms, you can count on me."
"As for the structure Leilan implemented, I hope to add a beta to my title. She would be my mate and, serve on the council. I think of her as an extension of my senses and, a liaison among us. I nominate Camomila, whom has been on the Isle since the initial migration. She is sensible, loyal, kind, and would certainly be trusted to lead the Isle, in my place, if given Nerine's support. I plan to keep the council, as a group of three, alongside myself. I think the council demonstrates an openness between residents and, proves that their named leader is just and diplomatic. If the honorable Ardashir is still willing to serve, he is welcome to do so, alongside Camomila. This leaves an opening for one more council member. I am happy to hear any suggestions you may have on whom to consider. If none, and you trust me to choose, I will do so based on the qualifications of those interested at the meeting. Lastly, are there any additional expectations or, requirements of the Isle that I should be aware of and, uphold?"
The black falls silent, content with having covered everything he wished to address. He waits patiently for Heartfire or, Brennen, to speak next. In the silence, Jesper meets the honey gaze of his grandsire and, smiles warmly in greeting and appreciation for him joining them. Jesper always felt reassured in Brennen's presence and, as the younger male embarks on this new chapter, it felt necessary to have a trusted being as support.
