They’d waited a rather long time, and while Texas is not by nature a patient creature, he is able to pass as one fairly well. Being distracted by the Amazon diplomat has been helpful, but there’s only so long they can wait for Shatter Me’s arrival without it seeming suspicious. Texas will have to hunt her down after he sends Lyris home, he realizes, already having ended the conversation between them in his mind even though the grullo mare is still speaking. His shift in mood, from pleasantly teasing to iiritable happens rather quickly, but it does not show in his tone or expression.
He turns his attention back to her (though his brown gaze as never left hers) and listens as she apologizes for not being caught up on current policies. It’s a fairly new one, of course, but the bay stallion enjoys the upper-hand that not being the one apologizing gives him, and he simply nods in acceptance rather than making her ignorance seem less than it is. He could be crueler about it, he tells himself; he could have said something about the Amazons sending incompetent diplomats. But look, he holds his tongue and says nothing terrible at all.
“I’m Texas.” He replies, offering his name only in return for hers; he doesn’t much care.
“I think the queen might be involved in business elsewhere,” He says, having just turned back from looking over his shoulder for the grey queen one last time. “I’ll let her know of the Jungle’s offer, and we’ll send someone to the Amazons to let you know of our decision.” Since they’ve never left the border, Texas doesn’t offer to escort her back (as he just might have if they’d been wandering though the Falls while talking). “Thanks for your visit. I’ll let Shatter Me know it was you who came, and will make that clear to whomever our diplomat meets when they go to the Jungle as well.” And with that he is ready to turn and seek out the queen himself.
[I literally took like four years to write each of these sentences and they drained me and I’m sorry D: if it works for you we can end the thread here and someone will be along to the zons shortly?]
