Athletic, stalwart, and powerful, the potency in his stride’s reach was a thing of devastation and dominion along the stretch of the vast field – and still, he was mildly startled when another pressed into its wake. The flurry and unwinding of the snow, powder flying, spraying into the air, caused him to snort, expel a range of plumes curling and contorting well behind him within a breath – glancing to see Cordelia’s wake at his side.
It made sense, given her shift’s propensity for rapid movement across the tundra, but he had such a propensity for challenges, for provocations, for goading, galvanizing tactics that the beast thundered on. Unrelenting and ruthless in his speed, inciting with the air of a seditious, mischievous heathen, a Stygian fiend, rising up and out of the depths.
He didn’t tell her he was out here to simply unwind and lose the moments of plotting and composure. He didn’t say that there were some wicked, ruthless edges that needed to be unfurled. I suppose, he gave instead, another snort winding its way through the bond. And you?
