Vesper listened without interrupting, his gaze mostly forward, but every so often it slid toward Colt—measuring, considering, intrigued in a way that had nothing to do with the terrain. The shadows at his heels stilled, letting the horse do the work, and for once the demigod looked less like something sharp and spectral, and more like someone simply absorbing.
He shifted in the saddle just enough to duck a low branch of his own, glancing sidelong at the woman who rode like she’d been born doing it. "A lotta people don’t stick around unless there’s a sure outcome," he added, voice thoughtful now. " An' you’re out here chasin’ maybes." There was a note of admiration in it, though he didn’t call it that. Just let it hang in the air between them like one of the gathering shadows that always seemed to trail behind him.
"You always like this?" he asked, a touch of wry humour returning to his tone as he eyed the rocky terrain ahead. "Or is it just the unicorns that get you all noble and soft-spoken?" He wasn’t mocking her—if anything, there was a trace of challenge there, like he wanted to see how far her edges went before they gave way to something else.
