 Thankfully, Dante seemed to have a sense of humor, and Rhaella eased into a smile to complement his own. A brief silence fell over them then, and she seized the opportunity to feverishly peruse her memories again in order to recall what had happened the day she met him. She did remember with some vividness the way he had frightened her initially, and that after throwing all sorts of names at him she had decided he was trustworthy once he had offered her a physical touch. Everything else, however, was a complete blank, and Rhaella found herself panicking a little, despite the smile that had lightened her stony expression just moments ago. When he spoke again, she pricked her ears. What did he just say? Once again, her mind began racing. This was unusual for her: normally the mare was so comfortable in her own skin, so content with whatever situation was presented to her. But here, with Dante, it seemed she was little more in control of herself than she had been the first time they met. Shifting her weight and listening to the crashing of the waves behind them, Rhaella pondered why on earth it was that she found herself acting out of character whenever she was around Dante. Of course, his last remark did not help, and she was left feeling as helpless and confused as the day she'd first arrived on the islands. "Estrolgaiz," she began, raising a brow. "I am not sure I understand." And truly, she didn't. As the nerves coursed through her veins, the foal she carried kicked out suddenly as if it sensed the tension in the air, sending a seizure of discomfort across her rib cage. She let out a heavy breath; it was all she could do to stop herself from crying out. Little Devil, you are intent on making things that much more difficult for your mother, aren't you? She was so dreadfully uncomfortable; it was too warm, especially, and she could feel her dark coat beginning to lather with sweat. html, text, and character by shiva |
