the highway won't dry your tears
The Sunshine Pools are anything but. Vesper walks now, no longer the sleek gallop of before, but a brisk, ground-eating pace that carries the weariness of midday heat baked into his bones. His dark coat gleams under the punishing sun, slick with sweat that slides down his flanks in slow, sticky rivers. Even the shimmer of his white rosettes is dulled, muted beneath the glare. Every breath is a weight, pulled through air that feels more like ash than oxygen.
A low snort punches from his lungs as the stench of sulphur rises, thick and egg-foul, clinging to his nostrils and curling at the back of his throat. His ears pin flat against his skull, then flick back up only to flatten again in frustration. A sharp toss of his head follows, more reflex than rebellion, trying to shake the smell loose like flies. The pools bubble nearby, deceptive with their ripples and soft edges, but Vesper knows better than to drift too close, though Frey if it doesn't make him thirsty.
