    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

    Watching him carefully, she does not miss the way his eyes go soft, just for a moment. There is very little she misses, not after nearly twenty years of practice, of observing faces. There are some that are hard to crack (she refuses to admit any are impossible), and Castile has never been easy. Something about the dragon, she’s always assumed, the magic in his veins drawing a veil across her intuition. Lepis cannot read minds, but she knows enough to brace herself for whatever it is he might have to say.

    ‘That you’re insufferable’ is not one that she has heard in some time. Lepis scowls immediately in response, the soft age lines around her eyes deepening in exasperation. Is this not exactly where they’d left off in their last argument? That he says nothing immediately after is all that still hers tongue, though she breathes sharply a time or two just to make sure he knows she’s not pleased. She’s holding her breath when he tells her that she is family, and she is slow to let it out in a sigh as he continues to speak.

    Family binds her tongue as he speaks more, and eventually her breathing grows steady once more. He refuses to lose her. Lepis smiles, relieved, and reaches out to him. Her dark muzzle presses against his shoulder for a moment, an affectionate touch. There are some things that she has not spoken of. Castile knows though, somehow he always manages to know. She starts to draw away, and his defensive declaration – that he is not staying! – brings a dry laugh to her throat. She lets her guard down easily, eager to mend this rift in their relationship.

    Once more she leans forward, pressing her muzzle against his cheek. "Can we talk about you staying?" She asks fondly while she pulls away. "I do not like when we fight." The dun mare admits, though there is a twist to her dark mouth that suggests she struggles to say it, and she glances pensively at him from beneath a lock of dark hair that has fallen across her face.
