When she raised her head to look at him, Tyr’s heart leapt with joy. But that feeling soon perished the moment she spoke; begging him, and somehow commanding him at the same time to stop. Tyr didn’t know what to do as she squeezed her eyes shut. Almost like she was trying to block him out. To make him disappear. The giant stallion that had always seemed to carry the heaviest of burdens, felt as if he could collapse under the weight of this. Any hope that still lingered was shattered when she looked to him again, asking who he was.
Confused, and heartbroken, Tyr’s ears tilted back as he tried to stand firmly in his place. To not drop his head in defeat, or take a step back in withdrawal. It was hard; harder than losing his place among the Lagoon. Harder than when he had felt abandoned and alone without her beautiful red coat pressed to his side for the past seasons.
“I…” he started, but couldn’t find any words. How could he explain who he was? The question could be as simple as his name, or the depth of who he was to her. In some ways, Tyr wondered if he should burden her with the knowledge she had clearly forgotten. It would bring with it such pain; his eyes briefly drifting to the rock she had been laying on, before returning to her face.
“I’m….” no one he tried to finish, but in a rush of motion, couldn’t. Kvothe was against him before he had time to react. Tucked under his neck, against his chest, where he had always held her in the toughest of times. To comfort her, as well as keep her safe. It took a few seconds for the tension of shock to leave his body, but then the stallion melted into her. Draping his neck over her as he brushed his muzzle along her shoulder and onto her back. Drinking in her scent; finding comfort for himself, even if the foreign scent she carried was only bringing up more questions than he already had.
Kvothe’s question (softer this time) seemed to break the spell over Tyr. He drew his muzzle away; his head turning in time to catch her eye before she looked away. The stallion didn’t pull away from the embrace anymore than the mare did. Now that he had it, the golden brute never wanted to let it go. Tyr had gone long enough without it. Still, her question still left a gaping chasm between them, even as their skin pressed firmly together. Clearly, she knew him; why else would she have sought out his touch? Whatever this was, wasn’t a simple answer. “I don’t understand.” Tyr murmured, deciding to be truthful. Wanting to know what she meant, so that he knew how to answer correctly. “What happened to you, Kvothe?”
