ARAXES
tender heart
Araxes was grateful for the fact that her leg had healed; she had moved so fast that if it was still injured, she would have regretted it.
Araxes let out a pleased noise at the touch, the press of his heavy neck against her, and she wiggled herself just a little, small hooves pressing down in to the ground and her head lifting a little, eyes bright. Her lips broke in to a wide smile at the gentle pull of a few strands of mane that had fallen out of the braid that it was generally kept in. "I guess this is better than being back in Solterra with all the sand, isn't it?" She wanted to laugh, but she was more distracted by his scent and the way he was acting.
She gave a momentary pause -- his -- and looked at him, before she craned her neck and gently lipped at one of the larger spines on Torstein's chest. It was more so a gentle kiss, her head and wings under his own, the feathers ruffling up slightly to perhaps tickle at his jawline as she pressed herself to his side the best she could.
With as small as she was, she was almost certain she'd end up disappearing under him if she pushed too much, so tall was he compared to her.
"I was gathering the nirnroot that grows here. It's a good herb for healing and can be used in many salves. Easier to see at night, since they glow." She rattled it off almost nonchalantly, her tail giving a rippling flick as her forehooves lifted and lowered in a gentle motion, digging in to the ground.
Something about him.. he was a desire right now, a presence she almost wanted to just find herself drowning in.
So much so that she was having issues trying to come up with conversation.
"It's really good to see you again, this time without a storm."
