Come to me in the night hours
I will wait for you
He said nothing more, biting his tongue back and carrying on with the tense atmosphere. Things had not gone at all according to plan. He should have known better. It left a sour taste in his mouth. So quickly she had gone from the sweetest creature he had ever known to being as full of distaste for him as everything else. How much could he blame her for that though? This tiny part of him felt that guilt like a hurricane churning his stomach into knots. It was the worst feeling he had ever known, despite everything. So terrible that he buried it away forcefully with self-pity. He was the victim, this was revenge, this was for love. In this moment he wanted so many things. To comfort her, to know he was justified, to feel whole, to not be so alone, but they were all just out of reach.
Frustrated and dejected, he followed beside Jezanna, leaving her the space he was sure she would prefer. Without a word, they walked towards this fortress bathed in moonlight. The only sound between them being the clop of their hooves in the dirt, and the sway of the grass as they pushed through it. All the extra time to think left him contemplative of what came next. Where did they go from here?
This new home of theirs was a mystery, though it did seem Jezanna had some knowledge of it seeing as how she knew where to go in the first place. It was likely she had met someone before he had managed to find her. Who, he wondered, might it have been? He might have asked if the air wasn't dense and uncomfortable with the lingering bitterness of before. Instead he kept his pattern of silence, ruffling his wings every now and again as the moon above rose and fell. It was some time before the noticeable outline of a stone structure could be seen on the horizon.
