Confide in me, darling - any - Hod - 12-26-2017 Half of my heart knows just what it wants of me RE: Confide in me, darling - any - Krone - 12-27-2017 Krone couldn't shake the feeling of Klaudius off her skin. Although she was sure by now it was gone (her encounter with Deathwish and countless washings in the ocean had long since masked the smell of rape off her body), she still felt like she could feel his body crawling on top of her, pulling her in, taking advantage of her. It was a hard thing for the Keeper to take. She had been assaulted, what kind of leader gets assaulted? It was a constant nightmare, something that she couldn't forget, no matter how hard she tried. He was still there, in Ischia, watching her, and she had a plan to get rid of him. in time. She reminds herself. In time. Her estrus season has come and gone, and she feels like herself again (save for the pit of despair in her stomach, where Klaudius' silver eyes linger. She hopes the feeling will pass). Autumn is nearing its end, and soon winter will arrive. Not that it really matters anyways (Ischia was always warm, humid, and otherwise tropical). The sun is bright today, reflecting light off her jewel, and she tries her best to cover it with her forelock as to not blind any unsuspecting strangers. She sees him from afar, he is gray with a splash of russet, and she remembers him from the first meeting she called (Hod he had introduced himself).When she had announced herself the Keeper, when he had vowed to stay. She smiles warmly at the memory, despite the bad that had happened as of late, the good memories outweighed them. He questions her as she strolls forwards and she chuckles. "It's just Krone," She informs, deciding to grow closer to him. She hadn't had a chance to talk to him yet (for that, she blames herself), so she decides today is as good a time as any. Krone you could be the King (but watch the Queen conquer) @[Hod] RE: Confide in me, darling - any - Hod - 12-27-2017 Half of my heart knows just what it wants of me @[Krone]
RE: Confide in me, darling - any - Krone - 01-04-2018 She is cold, oh so cold, so cold she is numb. The life of a leader was a lonely one (or had she always been lonely?) and she spends much of her freetime attending to kingdomly duties, trying to keep her mind off the irrevocable, inevitable solitude she so often feels. She doesn't know what its like to have friends (she's never had any), or anyone in her life that cared enough about her not to use her to gain what they wanted (like Klaudius, using her body as a field to plant his seed). Although she tries, she knows she will never (and can never) be what Circinae was (compassionate, strong, loved) and on days when she feels so broken and tired, she realizes this. Everyone expects her to be like the emerald queen but she is not, and it was a hard pill to swallow. She herself just wanted to be good enough, would she ever be? The dip of Hod's head and his kind words gives her the smallest smile. "Explains why I haven't seen you around as of late," She murmurs, letting out a soft chuckle. "This side of the island isn't usually on my rounds, but I'll be sure to come around more often." She starts to wink at him, but after realizing he will not be able to see it, lets out a sigh. Krone you could be the King (but watch the Queen conquer) @[Hod] RE: Confide in me, darling - any - Hod - 01-04-2018 Half of my heart knows just what it wants of me @[Krone] RE: Confide in me, darling - any - Krone - 01-09-2018 The winter wind blows gently through her emerald mane, and she allows Hod his time to talk, quiet and attentive. His voice is nervous, a bit shaky, and she smiles a bit - what did he have to be anxious about? She was always willing to listen to her citizens, and help in any way she could. "I have a problem..." The words he speaks causes her ears to flick up, hinting at her eagerness to find what is wrong. "I'm in desperate need of a job...I'm not as useless as I may look..." She chuckles a bit, coming up to his cheek and touching it, a friendly gesture at most. "I don't think you are useless, Hod," .The thought of him thinking of himself that way makes her sad. "And actually, I think I just might have a job for you. Come with me." She murmurs, stepping away from him to take a walk along the beach. Her steps are leisurely, and she notes the warmth of the sun on her dark hide, how the trees rustle in the breeze, how the sand feels beneath her hooves. "Ischia is home to many of different personalities, different views," She tells him, looking over. "I keep her borders open, I want many different kinds of horses here. Diversity, I believe, is a good thing." She pauses for a moment, thinking of her next words. "She needs more people to inhabit her. If you can find me some new faces, I will see to it that you have a promotion." Krone you could be the King
(but watch the Queen conquer) RE: Confide in me, darling - any - Hod - 01-10-2018 Half of my heart knows just what it wants of me @[Krone] RE: Confide in me, darling - any - Krone - 01-21-2018 Time waits for no one, and as Hod catches up with her and mentions how the shell had found her, she lets out a soft gasp. It had almost been a year, hadn't it? She blinks for a few moments, remembering that day, remembering the beautiful things the shell showed her. She remembers how it is still planted firmly in between her forehead, glimmering in the sunlight, showing all who wander near what Ischia is to her (Ischia is her, living and breathing beneath her chest). "Truthfully, I'm not sure what it found so intriguing about me," She admits, sighing. "But I am glad Ischia chose me as its Keeper. Save for a few less than pleasant altercations, I do enjoy it. I can only hope my citizens view me with such indulgence." The gentle brush of his muzzle against her shoulder is welcome, and it makes her feel oddly comforted (something no other horse had ever given her). She allows her own muzzle to touch his neck, a sign of a friendship that was blooming and perhaps one day would flourish like Ischia's jungles. Krone you could be the King (but watch the Queen conquer) @[Hod] RE: Confide in me, darling - any - Hod - 01-25-2018 He had been rambling, and he knows it, yet she doesn't seem to mind. Instead, she picks up the thread of his conversation, and speaks it further. He likes her voice, he realizes. It's sweet and musical, lower than a young girl's, filled with passion when she speaks of her homeland. A queen's voice, he supposes. With his thick, dark forelock cloaking his eyes, he stares at her sightlessly. More feeling her presence than anything else. By her soft body heat, the sound of air passing through her lungs, the quiet shushing of fine sand beneath her feet, he knows she's there. Her words, however prettily said, do not all sit well with him, though. "Altercations? No one's hurt you, have they?" A crease of concern grooved the space between his eyes, the corners of his mouth suddenly tightened with worry. Sometimes he wished he were as dynamic as his brother, brave enough to charge into danger, to fight off the dark shadows of foes. But he was himself, and he was learning, slowly, that he had his own brand of courage. Picking fights was not his thing, but defense of someone who needed it? Someone he cared about? That was another matter entirely. Nyxa sprang to the front of his mind. Carefree, and often care-less, she needed someone to look out for her. Even if she denied it, usually loudly. A fainter outline stood next to Nyxa's defined one. The outline of a girl with an island on her shoulders, and maybe wolves at her door. With a light exhale, he smiled towards her, whisking tendrils of hair from his face as he did so. "I'm sure you've got plenty of queenly things to attend to. And I need to prepare to travel. But... I'd like it, if you'd like it, if you'd visit me again." The sentence finished awkwardly, hanging in the air with obvious question marks. He wasn't sure why he'd it, just that he like Krone, liked her mannerisms and her kind voice. And that he truly wouldn't mind another walk with her some time. A tickle at the back of is mind nudged him, twined with the briny sea scent that so reminded him of the sea filly he loved so much. A drop of guilt settled like a pebble in his stomach. @[Krone] <3 RE: Confide in me, darling - any - Krone - 02-06-2018 Krone likes to keep her private life away from strangers (Hod was technically a stranger, right?), and she always had been. But when Hod questions her about her altercations, she is hesitant to lie. Her voice wavers as she stumbles over the words. "Some...not so friendly visitors..." She murmurs to him, head turning away to try to mask the quiver of her voice. Queens don't cry, she doesn't cry, so what was it about the incident with Klaudius that made her so damn emotional? A westward breeze blows through her emerald tresses, and she looks up to see the once blue sky turn a nasty gray. Dark and foreboding, much like how her mind felt sometimes. She looks towards the waves, which are picking up pace, beginning to crash violently against the shoreline. "I wouldn't be much of a queen if I let you travel in this weather," She says to her companion with a short laugh. She touches the russet of her shoulder, pulling him away from the shoreline. "A storm is coming. We need to go inland, save your trip for a safer time." And while her reasoning is true, she has other motives. She doesn't want to be alone. Not now, not when she is so vulnerable. Not when the sight of Klaudius makes her stomach turn. A friend, yes, that's what she needed (she's never had one). She leads them up a hill towards the green of the forest, looking back every so often, hoping he will continue to follow. Krone you could be the King (but watch the Queen conquer) @[Hod] <3 |
