- Are you thinking of me when you love him? -

Lucky for her, the perfect someone is making his rounds.

It’d become habit, after so many years of watching his own father leave in the morning and then at dusk to make sure Tephra’s borders were well-guarded. He thinks, as he drifts through patchy cloudwork and different drafts of air, that perhaps this duty is much less taxing than the one his father used to do, (given his gift of flight) but today he’s especially grateful for the added swiftness because it brings him ‘round to catch sight of Wishbone before any other stragglers might.

The initial surprise of her showing up unannounced is soon replaced with genuine joy and the same unusual tightening of his gut that usually accompanied her presence now, still Bane drifts lower into her sight and circles a few times to slow his ascend before skidding to a neat stop near her. Gathering himself, the newly-crowned Loessian picks his way across the rocky, hardy earth, a “What a sight for sore eyes!” slipping from between his handsome lips before he can greet her properly with a warm kiss against her copper cheek.

Bane’s content to settle here, near to Wishbone and away from the others but instead he finds his head jerking away from her, the quick toss of his neck and the ensuing ripple of his staunch, white mane indicating that she should make herself at home and welcome. “What’s wrong, Wishbone?” He asks her without delay, interpreting the hard set of her usually playful and warm eyes while he turns about, ready to finally lead her through his Kingdom.
