The mare hasn’t been out of the water long - and just like his own back, she’s heating up quickly enough once more. Although he thinks he may regret it, he moves out of the water, to stand next to her. Close enough to touch, unless she were to move away. ”I have this special magic you might want to make use of.” he offers. Admittedly, he does not dare to touch her while using the aura, afraid to cause a frostbite. But he builds the layer of ice-cold air around himself slowly and carefully, to make her aware what he does and what he means. Unfortunately, he cannot cool himself down very much with this aura - it hangs around him, meaning he can never touch it. But he can have it touch others, and that’s the point today. She inquires about Ischia and he answers with a dip of his wet head. She asks her next question in rapid succession, so he has little time to comment. He grins when she mentions Brennen’s name, though. ”Ah, yes. He’s my mother’s best friend, besides my own father of course. When I told her I needed some kind of an adventure, she pointed me in Ischia’s direction.” His own question has sparked something of a sad response, because she doesn’t know. Hmm. ”I guess Beqanna’s magic has a way of doing that.” Already his own memories of the Place Beyond were getting vague. But Nerine - well that is certainly promising. ”Ah! Yes, I told you about my beloved mother?” he grins. ”Although beloved may be a strong word for an outsider; she is quite ugly and not that lovely with her words either. Have you met her perhaps?” he wonders. Oh, but he hasn’t told her the name. ”Scorch?” he adds. Suddenly, the white spotted mare blurts out words he finds entirely amusing, and his chuckle ends in an actual laugh. ”Why, those are the two reasons of my existence!” he exclaims. But he tones it down after that. Lowering his head a little to let his wet-but-drying forelock fall upon his head for cooling, he looks up at the mare. ”But thank you. I would return the compliment but I’m not sure you’re irritating enough for it.” he jerks happily at her. And yes, he is insinuating he thinks her entirely pretty and attractive. If she picks up on that, he’ll see. What she does with it, is always a question that intrigues him, so yes, he'd try with anyone. |
