How did the honeyed stallion keep sneaking up on him?
It was an odd sensation, the sudden awareness that one was not alone in the most immediate sense, like a jolt through one's chest as their brain struggled to analyze the past - what it had missed, what could have been done to ensure it wouldn't continue being the victim of such starts. Yet, the voice that sliced through the haze was not altogether unfamiliar. In fact, as Camdis swiveled his ears and turned his head toward the sound of Kaladin's words, a grim smile toyed with the edges of his mouth. In the presence of his acquaintance, the scarlet and bay stag visibly relaxed, reasoning that they would not be approached if they seemed a pair of travelers.
Then again, Camdis had heard tell of rather interesting tastes held by certain members of his previous court, and he could only hope that they held the position of outlier amongst the citizens of Novus.
Moving around the twin spruces, - flinching only slightly at the concept of 'twin' and shoving the wretched guilt into a dark corner of his mind labeled "later" - The muscled caretaker moved toward the his wispy comrade, exasperation clear upon his face. "A capital suggestion," Came his low response, eyes sweeping the earth surrounding them before making their way up toward the honey-and-bronze stallion's captivating amber gaze. Camdis Lohir cocked his head, noting the way the smile that graced his golden lips softened his usually severe features. Truly the stallion was nice to look at, not dripping in gaudy colors or blinding others with sparkles and jewelry.
It was refreshing company, to say the least.
"Where do you suggest we begin - the moans and groans to the left, or the moans and groans to our right?"
If only it were more a joke than reality.
