 His bugle barely leaves his lips when her voice rings clear above the insistent caws the macaws. Sig! He jerks his head in the direction of her voice, a smile traces across his whiskered lips as he waits for her to come to him. She thunders through the jungle straight toward him. He laughs aloud as she pushes finally into clear sight - twigs stick out of her thick mane and mud smears across her sides. Had she taken the most difficult path? His brilliant blue eyes sparkle with mischief as she closes the space between them. "I have," he pauses "and I see you have taken care of yourself?" she wraps her neck around his. He can not hide the surprise on his face, she is equally as tall as he is. After their embrace he takes a single step back, he tugs at twig that had stuck in her mane and drops it on the ground at their feet. A smirk plays at his lips. "I see you brought me a gift?" he laughs as he looks down at the twig - one of many - that had found itself stuck in her mane. "Where've you been, Sig? Was that father with you?" He nods quickly to answer her question. "Yes, father is with me... We returned to the Norđurland, father needed them time to recover." he pauses momentarily as he casts his gaze in the general direction of their father. "The Isles almost killed him..." the playful glimmer in his eyes fades and his face turns serious. Father had been through so much in his short time here... He is strong thankfully. And now thrives with renewed strength. "No, I don't believe so..." he pauses thoughtfully "He is strong Roi. A hardened warrior from his days of battle, but his strength did leave his body and I knew the best for him would be to help him return to the Norđurland. And so we helped him escape in the deep of the night." Tigerlily. Skogsra. Both had helped in freeing their father. "He speaks of you often Roi," he offers a smile "He regrets not being able to have spent more time with you... He wants to fix it." He watches her quietly and allows all that he tells her to slowly sink in, before he finally speaks once more. "Let us go to Father," he bumps her lightly before he pivots to go back to their father. He knows she would not miss a chance to connect once more and would surely be on his heels. He rests peacefully beneath the fronds of the coconut palm, but the sound of hooves instantly wakes him. Glacial eyes flutter open and then squint against the bright sunlight. A familiar voice reaches his ears and a smile traces his lips. Roisin. He shifts his weight nervously. Would she be angry with him? Would she yell? If she decides this path - he would deserve it - he had abandoned her. He had abandoned her mother. And no matter how many times he apologized it would never make up for the rift he had caused. He clears his throat and swivels his thick head to watch their approach. His breath is held on his lips. She is beautiful. "My beautiful frumskógblóm," he whispers aloud as his eyes meet hers, a smile touches his lips, "My beautiful jungle flower, how you have grown." He dares to press closer to her and push his muzzle towards her, his heart shudders in his chest. She is perfect just as her mother had been the first moment he had set eyes on her. |
