Jesper

Caelestra. Jesper repeats the lady's name to himself. Her name reminds him of the sky and so, he finds his pale blue gaze drifting up from her concerned features to the peace above. One of the many beautiful things about the Isle, is a unobstructed, panoramic view of the heavens. The gray fox sighs as he focuses on the twinkling stars above.
Jesper's attention shifts as he hears the whoosh of wings behind him. Bronze-tipped ears swivel backwards to catch the crunch of a horse's footfalls. Given his vulnerable state, his heart races initially. Then, he reminds himself that he is in the presence of a bear. Brennen's familiar cologne fills his nares next and, Jesper breathes a sigh of relief. He offers a nicker in greeting as his grandsire calls out his name. When he feels the warm touch of Brennen's muzzle into his shoulder, Jesper closes his eyes. For the first time since his duel with Sabrina, the male feels as though everything will be all right.
Brennen's question to the female causes Jesper to open his eyes and look up at the black mare. He waits patiently and, listens whole-heartedly. His future depends entirely on whether or not his leg can be fixed. Caelestra's response is genuine and, her body language supports her words. The fox cannot be sure what to expect but, her apology causes him little worry. "It cannot hurt any more than it did to break it," Jesper says with a soft smile. He catches Brennen's question but, remains preoccupied by what the dark mare is about to do. His pale blue gaze is drawn to the glow emanating from her muzzle. The light extends to his cannonbone and, envelops around the break. Jesper feels a warmth that penetrates through the skin and seeps right into the gulley running through his bone.
When the aura subsides, the fox releases the breath he did not realize he had been holding. His gaze shifts from his right front leg to meet the female's gaze before he looks back at his leg. The imperfection running along the front of his leg is gone. The bite wounds from Sabrina's initial puncture are gone also. Jesper stares a few more breaths and then, decides the only way to test it is to stand up. The fox begins by uncurling his left front leg and stretching it out alongside the right front. Male shifts his weight onto his haunches and pushes himself up into a sitting position. He is careful to support more of his weight on his left front, just in case. He feels no resistance with half of his weight and so, he pushes himself up onto all fours. Standing there, the fox shifts his weight until it is evenly distributed across his limbs. And, it feels good. A smile spreads across his face.
He steps forward and still feels no pain. A wave of relief and elatement flood Jesper and, in a show of his gratitude, the fox leaps forward. He bounces and weaves between Caelestra's front legs and then, he stops and sits right between her front hooves. Balancing his weight on his hind limbs, the fox reaches up to lick the mare's chin. He yips and then, scoots forward. Jesper spins about to face Caelestra and then, his pale blue gaze meets her soft green eyes. In another breath, the male takes the time to shift from his fox body into his equine form. His black pelt mirrors that of the mare's though, he lacks the intricate design on his left side. In his equine form, Jesper notices a slight tension in his right front. It is definitely not broken but, the ligaments are definitely stiff. He is unsure if her magic was limited due to him being a canine or, if his anatomy as a horse is that much different.
Nevertheless, the leg is in far better condition than it was. Jesper smiles up at Caelestra and, makes fleeting eye contact with Brennen before he addresses the mare. "Caelestra, thank you. I am indebted to you. I have no doubt that this injury could have been the end of me. How can I ever repay the favor? You are, of course, welcome to rest here or, stay as long as you wish. If there is anything more I can do, please let me know." Lastly, with a sincere tone to emphasize his words, Jesper says, "And yes, I promise to avoid any more fights."
The black figures now is as relevant as ever to answer his grandsire. Turning his attention towards the winged bay, Jesper speaks up. "Her name is Sabrina. She had been a resident of the Isle for a while. She kept to herself. Well, her and Crevan kept to themselves. I never suspected she would try to overthrow me. Then again, I may have lost focus and, was less attentive. Regardless, I have learned my lesson and, will not lose focus again. I doubt Sabrina will cause any more trouble, either." Jesper gives a reassuring smile and nod of his head to Brennen. Then, the black waits patiently for either of them to continue the conversation.
