you said you'd wait forever, but I blinked and the world was gone
Had she a sense of fear for the scales and fangs, for the wings and great Draconic features… it was absent in these moments, and Briella curled herself as close as she could to Sanatana’s side with her head lifted and velveteen maw brushing against his neck. Though affection lingered between them it was the pulse and heartbeat she paid attention to more, the warmth of his skin and the stark contrast of frost that clung to him and as such was commanded by him. Ripples of a blue oil-like sheen colored the otherwise creamy scales and wings and she noted the glitter of light upon them.
Briella was astounded, in truth, mystified by the beauty and by the danger that yet loomed.
Shadowed by his wing, she felt the weight of it and the way it staunched the bite of the breeze that had picked up… her jeweled, hemimorphite eyes widening and exposing the refractions of light within the faintly translucent surface though still opaque to a degree. Ice too, glistened and gleamed, and the mane and tail shone in a manner suggesting sparkles as Briella felt herself further swept up in the blaze that lingered in her chest. Blood roared through her veins and while not angry, she seemed perhaps overwhelmed, unaccustomed to the affections of another.
The same of her hooves was notable, the refraction of light and the gemstone surfaces glistening as she shifted her weight and listened to the rumbling voice and their tone: to Santana as he kept her close and made no attempt to disguise his intention; but she did not mind, pangs of strange feelings overwhelmed her… a crush that seemed to cause her mind to race. Kisses became nips and nibbles and she felt the pinch from teeth sharper than her own… still she inhaled sharply when there were bites too harsh, and she chuckled at the thought of his possessiveness.
Trying to find her words she spoke up softly and with a tender kind of affection, “There’s something to be said in it, if you think about it. We both trekked up a mountain and across the world searching for something important. Now here we are much later in life- a Dragon and his Jewel.”
She paused, swallowing the frog in her throat before hesitating to laugh. “I’m not alone, you’re right. You’re here now.” she admitted it with a weak smile, not lacking enthusiasm or wanting; but girlish and her head turning away as she felt a pang of heat on her cheeks. Had she been capable, she’d have been scarlet from blushing. No matter though, Briella had listened and considered it… Loess.
Yet? She knew that place. Once ruled by Wolfsbane and she herself brought there when her father had been stolen… Heartfire had despised it. There was a hint in her gaze of insecurity, of question, and she nodded in agreement after a moment. “I… wouldn’t mind going back to Loess, it was very nice there for the time I was around with my siblings and father. You won’t lose me again, Santana, I promise.”
