It is still a mystery to her how Karaugh’s attitude had changed around one-hundred-and-eighty-degrees. From victim to stone cold witch. ”Shut up” she murmurs, and the smoky black mare isn’t even sure if she’d spoken loud enough for anybody to hear. Amorette simply does not know how to deal with the revelation and right now it was easier to ignore it.
Just as she tried to ignore the fact that the world wasn’t as black and white as it had been in her mind. And she also struggled with the idea of Karaugh deceiving her on purpose, with ill intentions. Amore grits her teeth together, staring at the bat winged mare with hurt and anger swirling in her eyes. But she knows very well that she’s trapped, and that Levi is coming to her rescue.
Kryptic pulls her out of her thoughts, making her drop her head towards his small frame. ”Nobody is going to hurt you” she tells him with a low and warm voice. She gently nibbles at his crest, hoping to calm him. She would make sure that Levi, nor his mother, would hurt him. And Amore makes sure to convey that to Levi through her heated gaze when he speaks about the colt.
The sudden appearance of the firewall – no, not a wall, a cage – to trap Karaugh makes her flinch. In an attempt to stay strong for Kryptic she stands her ground, but not without eyeing the fire disapproving. Being locked away in a cave was one thing, but confined in a small space a whole other. And where Karaugh might – maybe, Amore wasn’t sure of that yet – deserve to be held captive, this was too much.
There was time a place for everything, but not now. ”Come, we have to go.” Amorette realises that when she gently ushers Kryptic onto his feet. Levi had read her right, there was no way that she would leave the child behind. It was not her intention to steal him away from his mother, and Karaugh was free to take him home with her whenever that happened, but for now he would be better off not in the caves.
Though she’s grateful for Levi coming to her rescue – and she is very aware that it was exactly that – it is impossible to forget some of the things Karaugh had said. It had been so easy to believe the buckskin mare, but the events even made Amore doubt whether or not it had been the truth. With the colt at her side she flees the past Karaugh and Levi without looking at either of them. For now it was easy to pretend and play concerned over Kryptic, but she knows she would have to face Levi sooner or later. There is so much she wants to say, and yet at the same time, she doesn’t even know how to start. Something to worry about later.
”What is your name, little one?” she gently asks the colt once they are outside. Tephra is never cold, so she doesn’t worry about that, but if the confined cave was all he knew, she can only imagine this world to be very terrifying. ”Everything will be okay” she tells him lovingly, hoping that it would be. Her muzzle gently ruffle his mane, trying her best to make him as comfortable as possible. He does something to her, warms her heart in a way she had not yet discovered. And all Amorette desires is to keep him safe and well.

Is the little powerplay of Kryptic okay? If not, let me know and I'll edit!
If it's okay, would you like a seperate thread for just Kryptic and Amore, as follow up on them leaving the cave and the thread?

For the new thread we can perhaps say that Kryptic is asleep somewhere closeby? That Amore is watching over him while talking with Levi after this thread? If that's okay with Neo?
