HELLBANE
I've all but just forgotten-
Every hitch in her voice, uncertain glance, and flutter of movement has Hellbane hooked - line and sinker. He doubts he’s ever come across a creature quite like her. “...I was told it meant jewels.” She said, but he’s more interested in the way her lips ease over the letters before closing into a soft line. His eyes dart upwards and she meets him there, vulnerability quivering in her dark gaze. If only she knew - Hellbane would move mountains to protect an innocence like hers. “Don’t even mention it.” He counters quickly, a sideway grin brightening his face.
“Were you here before the mountain rose?” He asks her, hoping that perhaps a small distraction would take Bijoux’s mind off of his gender. If she thought it was hard talking to stallions, she had no idea what a struggle it was to be born with a name like Hellbane and into a body like his. But defying your birthright nearly every step of the way has given him incredible patience, and Bijoux’s story (he’s sure) is certainly worth the wait.
