break some bread for all my sins
Dahmer watches Nikoline from the corner of his eye as she inspects Tephra, a small amount of priding swelling in his chest at her gentle smile. First reactions had always been the thoroughbred's favorite, even back in the Subway (though the reactions there had usually been, admittedly... less than thrilled. His homeland hadn't been all that attractive, but oh, how he had loved it).
When they come to a halt, it's between the treeline of Tephra's forest and one of the numerous lava streams that could be found meandering through the territory. It's warm and inviting, and Dahmer can't help but feel at home, and to top it off, there is something about the bay overo mare that intrigues him.
She doesn't give him much of a history, but the black beast can't blame her for something that he would also do. He does, however, tilt his head to the side and eye her with his brilliant blues, "Were you here for the Reckoning?" He had heard much of the event that had changed the lives of every creature within Beqanna, and as to be expected, they were all handling it in their own way. Dahmer is curious if Nikoline had been any different before the fairies had come to punish the people of Beqanna.
When his eyes wander momentarily to the friesian mare in the distance, the painted Nikoline is swift to catch it, though he doesn't find anything accusatory in her voice. With a small nod, he turns his gaze back to the companion at his side. "Her name is Jord," he pauses to consider what he should tell Nikoline about the other mare, "She's had a rough time of it. I always hope that those I bring to Tephra will befriend one another, but I'm especially concerned about her." Falling silent, he contemplates what had urged him to reveal his feelings. He did not often share the way he felt, whether good or bad. Deciding to dote on it later, the black beast grins devilishly at Nikoline. "Would you like to play a game?"
