[private] oh, there's a river that winds on forever

[bolder]

By the Gods, she was an enrapturing creature.

Bolder could feel it – whatever this near-constant current was between them – and the electricity igniting in his veins made him wonder if to touch her might start a storm. Or rather, what kind of storm they might make. She is unlike the girl from Tephra; even the way she laughs seems to surpass that hazy daydream. He smiles but the very edges of it smolder into something bright and burning. She is right there, close enough that even the warmth of her breath graces his neck.

Close enough with their bowed necks and turned heads that she might even be able to hear how loudly the thoughts churn through his thick skull.

He catches her fierce gaze, and keeps it, determined to hold it to him until they meet again.

It wouldn’t hurt Hyaline to learn a little more about their neighbors, he thinks. Mazikeen had agreed to let him explore and learn about the Baltians, so perhaps she might be pleased by learning about Pangea’s leader as well. He certainly won’t mind learning more, especially if their exploring is as scintillating as this has been. His heated stare certainly says as much before he quietly replies, ”I guess you will.”

@Lillibet quick closer before i throw something up in pangea *insert cowboy emoji here*
