One foot toward the gallows || Titus ||

[Titus]

titus

one day it's here and then it's gone,
how are you still holding on?

Restless.

Perhaps that is what he is now.

He finds himself idle within the chaos that storms in the world around him. There has never been a reason for him to stay where he is now. But for some reason, he was loyal. Loyal to a land that had taken him, kidnapped him from his homeland.

Every time Loess needed someone, he was an able body. But for what?

Titus could be loyal to anyone or anything. It was within him to do so, full-heartedly to be that someone. Or maybe not. Maybe he was just trying to always grab onto something that was there. Something solid, something functionable. Something that would never disappoint him.

Maybe Loess was his home for that reason.

A family that could give him what he needed, what he deserved.

Nerine had never been that way. It never would have, he thinks now. He cannot help but feel bitter about the way things ended up happening in his life. How can he not come to terms with accepting that? Everything was supposed to be okay now that he reunited with his parents. But he cannot. He will not.

The call within the cold winter breeze draws him away from his thoughts he is drowning in. His nutmeg eyes instantly catch the stripped palomino—Wolfbane. The winged stallion’s ears perk curiously at the Loess leader. It wasn’t every day that Wolfbane came looking for him, so he cannot help but wonder what sort of matter the pirate would want with him.

Titus instantly puts a friendly smile on when he is greeted by the other Loessian. His question sounds strange and completely out of the blue, but the young stallion doesn’t see himself denying such a request. “It sounds better than being here right now,” he says with chuckle. He was bored out of his mind staying confined within Pampas. It almost seemed worth the risk of getting the plague then standing idle within this new place. “I’d like to go,” he says more officially. “Do you have a place in mind?” Because anywhere was better than here. Well, except going to Nerine, but he doesn’t say that. There was no need, especially when Wolfbane came asking for him specifically.
