Ceyx
And broken sentences.
When her tail raised, Ceyx did not know what to think. The way she stood was something he could never grasp the concept of, but she pulled it off so flawlessly. Watching her move, the stallion slowly lifted his head and let his brown eyes become free of the curtain his forelock had made. Listening to her as she spoke, Ceyx was about to smile when his head lowered quickly and his face became covered once more when she said he was handsome.
’Handsome? HANDSOME?!’ The internal thoughts rotated over that word, trying to draw sense of them. He was not sure how, but he managed to regain some form of control with his head lifting for the second time. A lopsided smile twisted his lips as his heart raced in his chest. Ceyx found himself so out of depth that it was hilarious to most. His father would probably be laughing if he could see this, but Ceyx did not let that stop him. Instead, he slowly shifted his whole frame until he was standing stronger, more sturdy. He was built thickly, but at times his internal way equal to that of a mouse.
“Th-thank you.” He managed to hold the stutter back for the most part, but it came out in a way that was kind of cute. If his cheeks could become anymore red than they already were, they certainly would tinge flame bright as he slowly shook his head. “I… I d-don’t know th-the b-b-best way…” His stutter had him falling silent as he sucked in a deep breath. If he was going to try and do this adult thing as a co-lead to his father, he would try it now and be a bit stronger internally. “I… come from Salem.” He managed with his hooves shifting slightly.
Unknowing that she had caught his scent, Ceyx tilted his head slightly. “I am… from the Dunes.” He was trying, he really was. “Where are… you from?” With those few sentences out there in the open, Ceyx found himself growing a bit more quiet. Sathona stood strong and ready before him, but he couldn't reciprocate the strength. He was leaning on the bit of his father that ran through his blood. It was barely enough to not stutter, but he would take it obviously.
