A
dangerous, wicked mix of her fury and frustration partnered with the bittersweet tang of longing and heartache as she looked at him with haunting eyes. She wanted nothing more than to continue her rampage of anger and crimson rage; but in her heart she also desired to be so so close to him. To become drunk off of the heat from his starry skin, to be lost in his voice. To truly know him, instead of being the once-immortal goddess who had fallen in love with a mortal man, damned to be bound and caged in a dying body in the same timeline as he. And here they were, supposed strangers; a blissfully unaware man and a star-struck witch who had no inkling of how to handle her own emotions.Can you tell me anything about this place? Have you been here long?
She was drowning in his voice, and almost forgot to reply entirely. Perking up, Nimue shook her wild and flowy mane, blinking rationality back into her bones. "Longer than I would have liked to be," she answered, honestly but vague. If she had any say, she would have ripped this world until there was nothing left but ash and dust. Except the only thing stopping her was the lack of guarantee she would just return to her previous existence. So she waited, bidding her time, until she could at the very least regain her own immortality; whether the gods wanted her to or not.
"This place is like all others.. on the edge of war and promises made and broken, a place where magic only exists to those who believe in it." And know how to find it, she added to herself, a wicked thought. But the truth all the same.
Tell me, Nimue, is this a peaceful place?
Her heart swelled and threatened to burst at the seams as she heard him, his lips forming her name and breathing them into something that was so so sweet. She shivered.. head over heels and unable to properly tell him how she felt. Hot air blew threw her nostrils in a snort, and suddenly realizing her rudeness, the mare dipped her crown in a half-attempted apology. Her eyes drew upward, unable to look at him in her embarrassment; instead staring at the intense darkness that lay between each glimmering star. "I wish I could say it would stay this way for all time, but alas, I am not sure."
Somber, she flicked her ears, tilting her head as she continued to look up up up into the heavens. "You haven't told me your name," she mused. Although in her heart, she knew it was forever tattooed there, but she had to ask. It was all apart of the careful game she played.
