ARAXES
tender heart
For once.. it was nightfall as she graced these lands. The water was calm and tranquil, compared to earlier in the day when it had been roaring and churning with the distant storms that had struck close to her heart. As was her instinct, she had hidden herself away in a cave until it had all passed, and all that remained now was the fact that the sands were wetter than usual and gritty as she walked, tangling in to the strands of her tail and turning the tips an odd white-ish hue in the moonlight.
The heat wasn't so bad now either, after the storm. The water was still as a mirror, and she gazed across the surface, allowing herself to only take a few more steps, slipping her hooves in to the grasses nearby, exhaling as she did. It was calm again, though there were tensions running among Denocte, something that had nothing to do with the weather.
Carefully, she shifted her weight, only to suddenly lift her head, wings ruffling and her heart leaping upward for a moment in her throat. "Oh no.. oh no no no..." She rushed herself forward, almost breaking out in to a gallop as she did, but stopping just short, dancing on her hooves and looking antsy.
She could have sworn she'd smelled... Torstein. But he couldn't be here, could he? It would make things much worse if Reichenbach found the Day Court Warden wandering among Denocte lands. All the same, she seemed to almost dance on her hooves with worry, her head tilting one way and then the other, before her ears went back and her gaze fell on him.
"Tor!" It was more so a hiss, and she moved forward quickly, small and.. puffy in a way, upset. Araxes puffed out her wings and looked up at the stallion, her eyes wide more than angry. "You shouldn't be here, it's dangerous!" Unlike Solterra, where the lands like deserts could be wandered through without much confrontation, this.. well. A worried sound settled on her lips, and she tried to calm herself, taking in a breath.
Well. If someone came and saw them, she would have to stop something bad from happening, right? Right.
