And the cold lonely air. On the rock restless seas. Tavas watches as Bjorn's tight and stony expression begins to fade. She's curious about this, and as such, she studies him with deep interest as he takes in what she has to say. Her heart is beating quickly in her chest, after she reveals her desire to return home to Tinuvel. She barely knew Bjorn, but something in her gut told her he would listen to her, and that he would understand. The palomino mare can feel herself hold her breath, and her muscles bunch under her golden hide when he confesses that he does, in fact, want her here. She tries not to reveal her excitement and relief, and her mind flutters elsewhere in the moment, fantasizing on if Bjorn feels the same way she does. Or maybe even more? But their conversation continues, and she's pulled back by his words. Her blonde ears prick forward as he explains how he would fight for her too, and she can feel all the blood in her body rush to her face. She watches anxiously as he extends his muzzle. Her heart is beating so fast in her ears that it deafens everything around her. She feels a chill shoot down the length of her spine when his lips finally brush up against her fur, and she nickers warmly to him, inviting him in, in response. When he begins to retreat, she isn't ready for him to let go. She takes a step closer to him, then another, and she softly lips at the strands of his silvery mane, before gently pressing the length of her face into his neck. Tavas breathes in deeply then, reveling in this closeness to him. He can't see it, but she's grinning ear-to-ear as she hears him reiterate that she always has a choice. Somehow, the grullo stallion always knew all the right things to say... She retreats, reluctantly so, and settles her gaze back onto him. Their conversation turns to something more serious, more imminent. Her golden ears flick forward and back when Bjorn explains he'd been to see Warsaw. Part of her is struck by the fact that he didn't tell her before his trip, and that he didn't invite her along. But she holds her tongue, and tries to process this new information. Suddenly, she's not waiting desperately for his permission to go home any longer. "You need to be careful, Bjorn." She says sternly, staring at him intently now to convey just how serious she was. "Warsaw is not an enemy you want to have. He's dangerous." This was part of the father figure she knew that made her feel safe for so many years. But now that she lives in a place that could very well be at the other end of his wrath, well, that filled her with great concern for Bjorn.
