Longer I run; Voudou, Any

[Jason]

Jason sees the annoyance and anger plastered all over Voudou’s face. It feels loud. He almost cannot focus, but Fiasko. His eyes dart to her when Voudou speaks, and he frowns. That wasn’t nice, he thinks. It was uncalled for- to take their problem out on an innocent bystander. His eyes turn apologetic. ”No, no…you don’t need to be sorry.” He says to Fiasko before turning back to Voudou who is now submerged in water. ”Oh come on!” He yells to Voudou once she reemerges. Her sudden departure felt more like a temper tantrum than a valid exit, and Jason was irritated by the behavior. ”Voudou, really?” He said when she passed him. ”…really…” He muttered as she drifted further away. He knew he wasn’t going to allow her to simply leave. He had committed to her, promised her a new home. At the very least he needed to make sure she was okay, but before he would do so she needed to calm down. Jason turned to Fiasko, thinking that perhaps her mare-ish ways could offer advice (not that Voudou was the average mare). His eyes pleaded, dumbstruck. Before advice could potentially be exchanged Fiasko noticed something and exclaimed she was stuck. Whose stuck? Jason froze. Oh! Oh! Voudou! Jason followed Fiasko as his brain began to catch up with his legs. He hesitated for a moment before jumping into the lake, but with growing concern he took the plunge. The cold hits him, and he holds in a vocal shock. He swims and swims fast. Once he reaches Voudou, he shivers. He follows Fiasko’s lead, pulling out of the lake prior to the muddy shore. Jason then steadily trots over to the stuck mare, and he laughs lightly. ”Didn’t get too far, eh?” He feels the warmth collect back into his cheeks. jason magical son of eol and ashling
