break some bread for all my sins
Jord's playful and fun demeanor is back, allowing Dahmer to relax and enjoy their time together in Tephra. He chuckles as she winks, his own muscled legs prancing in place as he prepares excitedly for their adventure. A brief vision of his mother appears in his head, chiding him for acting like a silly colt when he is, in fact, a grown adult (though she had always treated him like he was, even as a yearling). The black beast pushes the thought of Desole away, deciding that now is not the time to reminisce, and he bounds happily after the friesian.
She has a head start on him, but Dahmer's thoroughbred frame is swift, and he's soon a black shadow at her flank. His ears twitch to attention, acknowledging Jord's words of endearment -- my king -- with a large smattering of nostalgia. It had been nearly three years now since he had reigned over the Subway.
Nevertheless, her gesture makes his lips curl into that grin of his and Dahmer nudges her flank gently with his maw before powering forward, running by the black mare as he weaves through the thick foliage of Tephra's forest. His hooves beat rhythmically against the soft earth, the sound only faltering when he needs to jump over a stream of lava. It's warmer in these parts than the outskirts of their home, and he relishes in it. By the time they find a clearing, with a rather ample sized water basin, his black coat is sleek with sweat.
The thoroughbred dives headlong into the small pond, soaking his entire body as the water laps over his back. Turning his head to find Jord with his brilliant blue eyes, Dahmer flashes her a winning smile. "Well, slow poke, are you coming in?"
