so give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
'cause oh that gave me such a fright
'cause oh that gave me such a fright
It doesn’t seem right, to leave Nerine immediately after introducing himself, so the magician lingers, reminding himself of the sights and sounds of the land he has promised again to protect. That’s why he isn’t already home safe, with Nihlus, on their island. It’s sheer bad luck. But since he’s here, he’s lingered with his grandson, wanting every detail of Jesper’s life. He should check in more often, he knows, and vows to do better as he always does. When the other stallion appears, intent on stealing them away, Brennen is quick to face off with him, a snarl already on his face and ears pinned; but when Lilliana and then the Queen appear, his attention is torn.
That’s all it takes. Something sneaky, something built into Beqanna that prevents his whiplash of protective magic from enveloping Jesper even as he wraps it around the mares, something that doesn’t answer exclusively to the fact that he is a magician who should not be so easily thwarted. In the confusion of the moment, he is left with two names and a location: Wolfbane, Lepis, and Loess. “That’s my grandson,” he says darkly to Neverwhere, in a voice that makes it clear that the crime of taking his family dwarfs any political implications in his mind. “I’m not leaving him a captive of anyone, ever again.” There’s a history there, and a boiling anger growing under his skin. The last time Jesper was kidnapped he was tortured, and two of Brennen’s adolescent daughters murdered. But he also doesn’t want to go into any situation blind. “Why would Loess steal from you? Is there anything I need to know before I go get him?”
His words are blunt, because he thinks after their first meeting she’d prefer that; but his meaning is clear underneath: I’m going to raise hell, do you have anything to say about it? Brennen clearly isn’t planning to wait long, but he has a moment of courtesy to listen to the newest woman he has promised to serve in some capacity.
