To be more than a conqueror Posted on July 8, 2025 at 09:53:04 PM by Nicodemus
His name on her lips was sweeter than he remembered. She still holds that same formal tone as before, but he hopes with her visit he could break down that barrier of hers. At least when it came to him. His faced changes to surprise when he notices the change in hers. The Rhoxane he knew was so confident and sure of herself. What makes her nervous now? Her gaze goes to her son who is bigger than he was the last time Nico saw him. Foals grow up so fast. He thinks of how little Tino seemed when he first met him. Not he could basically be considered an adult.
Rhoxane's eyes return to his questing gaze. Her questions stirs something in his chest. "You have no idea how happy this makes me." He doesn't hesitate his reply. He speaks quickly despite the thumping of his heart. "You both are welcome to stay as long as you like." He truly wanted her to stay forever, but he couldn't push his luck. He has offered them a visit and foals for Rhodius to play with. Both of those things still stood. Honestly, when he had offered them a visit he had hoped it would mean she would stay for good.
Enjoy his company too much to leave. One could only hope. "It is really good to see you again." He smiles at Rhoxane, holding his gaze there for a moment before turning his attention to her son. "And I'm sure we can find you a new friend. The Inlet is full of lively foals." He beams. It was amazing to think this was his life. A healthy herd full of life. Replies:
