    Assailant -- Year 226

    QOTY

    "But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura

    “As wild as the wind,” he repeats amusedly, his voice soft and hush, as if not wanting to interrupt the warm sound of Solace’s laughter that he brings to her lips with his presence, “yet somehow tamed in the midst of you two.” There is laughter in his voice, but as Kagerus greets him as well, Svedka can feel the tightness in his throat that makes him realize just how homesick for the two of them he had become. His already glittering blue eyes begin to water at the sheer emotion of their reunion, terribly happy and terribly sad all at the same moment, especially when Solace asks about his return.

    I had never left, he truly wants to say, but doesn’t know how. That would only open more questions and he did not want more questions. He only wanted tear-stained kisses and embraces, amidst satirical chides from Kagerus. Maybe things can be as they were exactly before he vanished – perhaps the lion was done after stealing years and years of precious time from him.
    Maybe there is no reason to fear anymore.

    Kagerus’ weight against his shoulder pulls him from his momentary reverie, a happy gasp leaving his pearl pink lips as he leans to support her, not at all surprised as the pain of her bite against his neck surges to the surface. He winces, not flinching away from her teeth, knowing he deserved much, much more. “What else is new,” he replies to her through a clenched jaw, though a smile paints his face. The lion stirs at the pain, a flicker of embers, but the feeling quickly subsides and is non-existent as a crown of flowers adorn fittingly upon his head.

    Unable to see himself, but knowing that the crown is only accentuating his looks, Svedka curves his neck proudly, showing off the musculature of himself as he paws at the ground with a foreleg enthusiastically. For extra embellishment, of course, he executes a half rear so that his forelegs slam into the earth beside his sisters, his gaze lovingly flickering between the two.

    There is a purse of his lips, raising his brows thoughtfully. He would not lie, but he would spare the shocking details for now. “I spent some time in the forest and the river upon my return – Beqanna really knows how to welcome me back.” He grins at the suggestion that he’s been ‘busy’ since his return to equine-life a few weeks, left open to interpret as they wished. “Perhaps some of them will make us a visit.” Svedka winks, though does not waste a moment in order to shift the spotlight off of himself; a bit out of character for him, but it had been a very long while since seeing them both. 

    His cerulean gaze flickers to Solace’s swollen abdomen. “I see you both were particularly busy as well,” his voice trails off suggestively as his smirk widens, wondering if it would be Kagerus or Solace who would find his comment too bold.
