    COTY

    Assailant -- Year 226

    QOTY

    "But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura


    as if a glass could contain the sea; tang
    #14
    Her amber eyes are heavily lidded and a soft smile is dancing on the corners of her mouth as she leans into his touch against her cheek.  His gentle huff stirs her mane that is falling into his face.  Again, they unintentionally seek the intimacy of the others touch. If Tangerine had more experience in love she may have better understood what was happening between them.

    His words are sweet and understanding. From the start, she had felt like he knew her so well. His encouragement heartens Tang as her resolve is faltering. And his words aren’t empty reassurance, he verbalizes what is in her heart. So many treasures were waiting to be discovered, this world was young, her legs were restless.

    She would be wonderfully happy with Warrick if she stayed, or so she thought. But she also though she may regret it someday. Not being with him, but being tied to anyone or anyplace. She loved no one on the earth more than her mother and little brother, and she had torn herself from them for this same reason.  She had the energy, she had no weights to carry, and now was the time for her to follow the breeze wherever it may take her.

    At this point in her life she doesn’t understand the deep loyalties of citizens to their leaders, the idea of a structured hierarchy has never crossed her mind. But she understands that somehow he is tied to this land, and she doesn’t pain him by asking him to accompany her. This spring and summer is a time for her to continue her journey, exploring and feeding her mind. In the morning she will leave him, and it will be a bittersweet sunrise. He will stay, the noble guardian of a seemingly vacant tropical paradise.  

    In that moment, Tang decides that if she hasn’t seen him by the fall she will return to Tephra. The fall was when they first meet, and it would be a fitting time for them to be reunited. It seems like a vast amount of time as she stands there beside him… but it would pass so quickly.

    “Well, if you haven’t found me by the end of summer, you can expect to see me right here in the fall.” She says this with stubbornness softened with affection.

    She almost wants to apologize for leaving him, after all he has confided in her. She feels guilty leaving him in this lonely place with only his thoughts and his stars to keep him company.  But she checks herself, she has nothing to apologize for, and she thinks he would not accept her apology anyway.

    Dawn can’t be far off not, maybe an hour or two at most.

    Tang once again brings herself into his orbit. Why try and break free? They had decided what this night was about... and not about. She leans into him, which is beginning to feel natural now.

    “Wherever we meet, it will be the perfect place.” Tang places a kiss on his muzzle, they pale pink and white of her lips contrasting with the rich navy of his. Instead of pulling away she lingers for a moment and then turns away from him and walks to a soft place along the pools bank.

    She sinks down into the sand with a huff. Looking up to him from where she rests on her side. “Tomorrow will be bittersweet for me." She smiles up at him, a whisful smile laced with sadness. It is as close as she is going to get to saying goodbye. 

    "So come, let's rest easy for what's left of tonight."
