CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT
& SATISFACTION BROUGHT HIM BACK
& SATISFACTION BROUGHT HIM BACK
Briny salt from the sea wind clings to Dahmer's obsidian mane, the strands tousled and tangled. He moves along the shoreline leisurely, letting his hooves sink into the moist sands and the salty breeze swirl in his nose. He much prefers the center of Tephra, nearer to the volcano where the air is heavy and humid, but there are not many who venture to the ends of their home and so he brings himself here for solitude. He concentrates on his own breathing as he goes, pace quickening to a trot, his muscled chest expanding and contracting powerfully.
He pushes Scyla from his mind as he begins his early dawn walk ─ his troubled sleep is a product of her turmoil this time, not of flashbacks from Carnage's lair, but it is troubled just the same. His blue eyes are red-ringed in his fatigue but the cool breeze from the ocean works to waken him slowly and when his gaze happens upon the golden frame of his beloved Ellyse, it's a warm and lazy smile that finds his lips. "You're up early," his voice rumbles quietly to her as he closes the distance and caresses his soft muzzle against her cheek.
He pulls back to gaze into her hazel eye before inspecting the lines of her face and the curve of her frame beneath her wings. "You're not up worrying about Smoak, are you?" The boy had taken off to Hyaline, adventuring away from home to find his friends. Dahmer had told him to be safe but never had he deterred the bone-armored colt from following his spontaneity. The black beast hadn't had that pleasure as a child ─ it's only right that he does not do the same thing to his own son.
"Do you have any fun diplomatic things that I may join you on today, or do I get you for myself?" he inquires warmly, his turquoise blue eyes never straying far from her lovely face.
