Quand on n'a que l'amour - Warrick

[Warrick]

like the sun swallowed up by the earth

She teases him, and it causes a shy smile to pull at the corners of his mouth, turning his neck to glance at the now finely preened feathers folded perfectly at his sides. He shuffles them, their downy softness whispering gently against each other, slightly embarrassed. He enjoys that she feels comfortable enough around him to comment on his grooming, and thus wrinkles his nose to feign offense, brows rising amusedly.

“Only always,” he murmurs with a deep chuckle in reference to the stubborness of his wings and the constant haphazardness of his feathers. His face softens as he reaches forward to brush the navy of his muzzle against the ebony of her own, chuffing gently. “It’s good to see you too, Amorette. I like knowing that within the myriad of new faces, old ones are still in the fold.”

There is a likeness between the two equines - the kindred spirit that rests in their souls speaks to the other, and he finds himself tremendously comfortable in her presence. She offers him words of encouragement, her voice light and truthful as it reaches him, and a genuine smile finds his face and alighting a sparkle in his blue eyes. We are all Tephra. The phrase strikes a chord within him, and he makes a mental note to remember it for a lifetime, for the days when he feels overwhelmed and unsteady (which has been a lot of the time, lately). 

She has come to find him and it is not by mere chance she has come to him this day. She seems puzzled as to why he would ask her about herself, but he has been there many times himself so he allows her time to think about the question - truly. “Don’t be embarrassed that the volcano calls to you so strongly - it only means you are meant to be here.” His voice is warm and knowing, for he too, has been drawn to the looming mount since his arrival in Tephra years and years ago. “You are kind - your mind and heart are gentle and genuine - qualities that are hard to find these days. Welcome the newcomers, show them our world. Find the outcasts and the forgotten, and show them that in Tephra they are anything but. Bring hope within a darkened and utterly lonely world.”

“That, my dear Amorette, is how you can serve Tephra.”

@[Amorette] Basically she is a diplomat, but he sees a lot of himself in her and he always greeted/found horses to bring to Tephra! He thinks she'd be good at doing the same! <3
