A Tour for a...Tourist? (For Dyzz)

[Halo]

The violet brute smirks, standing where he is, motionless, for moment in order to watch Evanessence go and to see just how far she would trot before she turned to look back. It didn't take her too long and some part of him is made to feel good about that. Still, what part of him is she fond of, if she is at all? Certainly not the real him, who has been hiding beneath this facade of a sort of kind gentleness. Or is this really the real him, the piece of him that has been suppressed? But he was revived by the darkness when he was dead in his way, along as a young brute with no where to go. Or so he thought.

He is suddenly aware of her staring at him, waiting for him to show her the way to the best show. So pulling back from his thoughts he trots up to her, tapping her with his nose before continuing on without hardly slowly down. He tosses his head energetically and bunny hops once before spinning around to look for the black fae.

Joker takes his newest mare up the side of the mountain, along a path that had been worn into the living rock through years and years of travel. It's wide enough for two to travel safely beside eachother, the drop is not too friendly looking, but the oncoming view spectacular. The sunlight s growing brighter over the horizon as the morning gains its strength, sending the frozen forest down below into a myriad of shining, rainbow lights while the purple crystals the Highlands of Darkened Frost are known for practically beam forth their own life in radiant violet.

The king turns towards Evanessence. "So...what do you think?" The step up onto a large ledge, a small cave behind them, burrowed into the mountain. And looking out the entirety of the kingdom can be seen, plus some of the land surrounding it.
~Joker

Evanescence smiled as she turned around, waiting patiently for him to join her. She tilted her head as she watched him walk to her side. Tapping his nose against her, he kept walking, and Evanescence immediantly fell in step with him. Smiling as he trotted a little ahead, almost energetically before he spun around again to look at her. She gave him a teasing smile, finding his energy slightly amusing. She trotted back to his side, falling in step again. She looked up at the violet brute as he lead her up the side of the mountain, and towards the special spot he wanted to show her.

Her mind wandered slightly, did he show this spot to all the mares. Or should she consider herself lucky. Her heart drop slightly at the idea that he could just be showing it because he shows all mares it. Or maybe he was just toying with her. A slight frown appeared on her maw. It wouldn’t be the first time she was toyed with. Her mind continued to wander, to a different time. A slight sigh escaped her. ’You miss him. Khepri, that is.’

The voice told her. Oh yes did she miss him. The handsome Gypsy Vanner that had managed to steal her heart. And she thought she had stolen his. But then… he disappeared. None of their old herd knew what happened to him. All she could remember is that he suddenly disappeared, and was never spotted again. But how she missed him. He had a similar appeal to him, as the violet stallion next to her did, yet still so different. Khepri was handsome, and amazing, and…. Just so magnifiecent. He had stolen her heart, and in the process had managed to break it. She still remembered the first time they met, he had approached her with wry smiles, taunts, and tried to get under her skin, and as they talked that day, they both had managed to shed their darker shells to release the inner equine. He was the cause of this sassy, kind, and unpredictable Evanescence that she now showed more often then not.

Then she looked back at Joker, and it pulled her out of her thoughts. They where now maneuvering along a path that seemed to be worn down into the rock from years upon years of travel. And it was wide enough for she and Joker to travel side by side. But Evanescence knew from experience that a stallion preferred to be incharge, so she allowed Joker to remain a step ahead of her, so that he may lead be leading her, rather then they look of traveling together. She looked over the edge and a wry smile appeared on her maw. This place was far from what she had lived in, when she belonged to Khepri’s herd. It was very different here. Not that she minded. She had left that place to avoid looking at all things that reminded her of Khepri. She looked further of the edge, and smiled, ”That is quiet a distance.” But she didn’t sound worried. Just like she wasn’t worried about the ice and snow around here. It was lighter here then in the Northern Lands of her old home. Those lands… it was always icy, and always snowy. She smiled, and shook out her coat, it was much lighter here, then it had been in her old herd. She turned her dial towards their destination.

She smiled again, and saw how pretty it already looked. The sunlight was growing brighter and brighter as they traveled. And it felt good on her velvety black coat. It shimmered in the growing stronger sunlight, the black lifeless coat shone took up a nice healthy purple sheen to it, that seemed to light up around them. Not as bright as the violet stallion mind you. But it was still rather pretty and unexpected. Evanescence was rarely in sunlight. But when she was. This purple sheen would appear, just a highlight in the sunlight. She looked around the forest, surprised and inthroled by the bright sparkling shines, and rainbow prisms that was now becoming a part of the land now that the sunlight had desended upon it. The snow began to sparkle and shimmer like diamonds, and it felt like Evanescence was now walking threw a palace of diamonds. To bad the stallion wasn’t her prince charming. Oh no, the prince had already found his princess… he had only taken Evanescence into his herd as a companion. Nothing more.

She looked aroung and saw purple crystals projecting from the earth. She watched as the sunlight reached them and beams of bright violent rays shot from them. It was hypnotizing. She felt her jaw drop in honest surprise, and her soft chocolate eyes sparkled with excitement. Oh it was magnifiecent here. She looked at Joker, only to see him looking at her. She willingly met his gaze, and listened to his cool tones, So… what do you think? they walked up to a ledge, and she barely noticed the cave behind them, barely noticing it against the mountain. Oh no. the flashy shiny stuff had caught Evanescence’s eyes. She looked out and saw the entire layout of the kingdom now. It was so beautiful, and as her eyes took more in, she realized you could also see beyond the kingdom. She turned northwest, and her gaze failed to drift away, ”That is the land I hail from. Up that way. A unique area, really.” She shrugged and spoke nothing more on the subject of her own lands, and tore her gaze away. She didn’t belong to that land anymore. And she wasn’t able to return now. She had left. Her stallion was gone. And she had a new herd now. And a handsome lead.

She looked back out at the land, keeping her gaze away from the direction of her own lands. ”It is beautiful up here, Joker. Absulotely gorgeous. Who knew such a thing could exsist this far up on a mountain.” She turned a teasing smirk twisting onto her delicate features. ”So… Is this where you take your new mares. Show them this so that they are hypnotized by the land and will never leave?” She teased, turning away from him, and place a well seasoned forehoof, then another closer to the edge, and centering her weight more in her rear end so she could literally loom over the end with out having to worry about falling over. Her eyes could see so far, it felt like she could see to then end of the worlds. She smiled, her eyes bright and vibrant as she gazed around.

The sun streaming around her, her black pelt lit almost purple, the purple sheens more vibrant in the full sunlight now. Her tresses pushed back in the wind, and she looked visibly comfortable hanging half of the side of a mountain, exposed to the elements. Anyone could tell that this finch was used to harsher conditions, and she knew how to take care of herself. If she were human, she would have stood on her tiptoes, her arms reached out at her sides stretching out, and her eyes closed. Like the scene of the titanic, only she would be standing alone. She wouldn’t expect a human Joker to copy the male lead of titanic to stand protectively behind her to make sure she wouldn’t fall. And she knew better then to worry about herself falling. She also knew she was more then comfortable to be standing so close to the edge, and knew where to put her weight so she didn’t topple over the side. She, after all, was expierenced in this kind of things.

She closed her eyes, letting her body take in the beauty of the place. Felling the heat of the sun upon her back, the wind blowing threw her tresses and banner. She hadn’t felt so alive in so long. She didn’t back up, but did open her eyes, and turn her head slightly to look at Joker, a delighted smirk played on her mare, and the corners of her kissers twitched up slightly in a mix between a smirk and smile. She tossed a section of her mane away as the foretressed came over her eyes the loose waves falling over her orbs in a rather appealing away. She tossed them back into place, so her eyes could take back in more of the violet stallion, ”Thank you. Thank you for showing me this place Joker. It seems… almost magical.” She purred softly, before tossing her tresses again, and turned her head back towards the scene, letting the wind whip the long wavy tendrils from her façade so she could see better.

She had an aud tilted forward and another tilted more towards Joker, anticipating any words that may come from. She looked forward, her eyes bright and lit up by a slight secretive smile. Joker would never know how much appeal this place held to her. She just hoped she would be able to visit it again, even if he wasn’t here with her.[/color][/blockquote]

[Halo]

“No, only one other mare has been to my high place. And she...” …has not shown herself in many, many days, he finishes in his own mind. It is like she has disappeared, the affections that had been creeping into the coldness of his heart for the black temptress now wilted, brown and dead, replaced by a thriving grudge. “As for the others; I do not need to hypnotize them to keep them in my domain. They’ll stay whether they want to or not.” Because he won’t let them leave. Why should they have reason to leave, anyway! This land is perfect and his rule strong and capable; here they have nothing to fear if they continue to obey him.

He doesn’t respond to her thanks, his mind drifting back to his supposed queen. Already he has dethroned her in his heart, but part of his desires her to return so that he might do so publically. The power hungry she-devil’s disgrace would be to his pleasure, to cast her down the ranks and to forbid her what she had tricked him into giving. ’Don’t be a sucker and let the whore bother you any longer. She was a cheater, anyway, remember? She made no qualms about hiding it. Idiot! And she wasn’t that great to begin with. Buffoon.

Joker takes in a deep breath and closes his eyes, turning his head away so that Evanessence might not see the frustration on his face, knitting his forehead into wrinkles. He opens his eyes just a fraction only to find himself looking directly at the spot Revair had stood the day he brought her here. He can almost see that black fae with that fake air of concern. Who needs her?! He can find a mare much more worthy than Revair. He snorts as if it were set and final, though who knows when the thought of her might cross his mind again.
~Joker

(OOC: Sheesh, lady! And I actually read it. *laughs* Hope my post ain’t too bad. It’s not as long as yours, but... Hey, Joker and Evanessence have something else in common, too, I realized. Both their mates disappeared. >.> Though I think Joker holds more of a grudge than ‘Essence. :-P)

[Dyzz-semi-back-]

Evanescence turned to Joker as he spoke, No, only one other mare has been to my high place. And she… He trailed of. Evanescence wondered what he was going to say, but had a slight pleasure from knowing that she had been granted to know of this place. He spoke again, As for the others; I do not need to hypnotize them to keep them in my domain. They’ll stay whether they want to or not. Evanescence laughed slightly, giving him a teasing smile, ”Ah, so are you really so desperate to have my company, that you are willing hypnotize now?” She looked back at the view, and another smile flittered across her façade, ”Well, I suppose it is working. I don’t think I have ever seen something so beautiful. Truly.” Khepri sure didn’t have any beautiful thing like this in his lands. The Northern lands of her old home where so blah…. Just a flat surface covered in seven of eight TONS of snow. Yes… Joker’s land was more magnifiecent then she would have quessed.

Evanescence looked at Joker and noticed that he seemed to be in his own little world. A soft frown appeared on the black finches face, he seemed to almost be having a struggle with himself. ’You have your own, daily.’

The voice came back to remind her. Evanescence didn’t reply to it, she and the voice both knew it was true. She watched as he took a deep breath, closing his eyes, and turning his head away from her. Worry was soon etched into Evanescence’s face, ”Joker… are you alright?” Her voice was full of worry, and her eyes portrayed it to. But though Evanescence was worried about Joker, she didn’t step closer or offer him comfort. He looked like the sort who wouldn’t be pleased about that. She looked at the stallion, then back out across the lands.

Her orbs fell upon her old lands once more, and a soft sigh left her. Khepri. Where did he go? Why did he just leave? Why didn’t he come back? Those words had been whispered threw the herd after his disappearence, and now… She had a feeling that she didn’t want to know why. Nothing she could say about it now though. He was already gone. And Like Khepri, Evanescence had walked away too. ’Who needed him, hun. He was probably just messing around, and then one day desided he didn’t want to go back to his herd.’ Evanescence visibly stiffened, ’No! That isn’t like him! His herd was his life, and I thought I was too.’ She turned away from her old lands, this was going to be home now. And she didn’t want to think about those old lands. ”You know… I’m kinda glad I left my old lands. Better then waiting for him to return.” Her words where spoken softly, with a pained tone, and she didn’t realize she had spoken them allowed. But they were true, she was glad she had left her old home lands. This place, so far, seemed much better.[/color][/size][/blockquote]


[OOC:// Lol, I know… I;ve written worse. You haven’t seen anything, unless you read the posts from The Secret, with Evanescence, and Khepri… Which is where I get the Khepri from this Evanescence’s past. Lol. I’ll give you the link some time…]

[Halo]

Evanessence is talking to him, asking of his well-being, but this King does not feel like answering, does not want to speak on the subject at all. If he is to let this thing pass then he has to bury it, throw it away and be rid of it. And he can’t do that if it is constantly being brought up in conversation. Maybe he shouldn’t have brought this mare up here, he thinks, but pushes it out of his mind; he has every right to be here and to invite anyone he pleases to these heights. No memory is going to hold him back from living or enjoying his own kingdom. So he answers her with a simple ‘huff’ of breath and a languid roll of his shoulders.

The ebonite mare’s voice catches him back to reality, yanks him back from the brink that lay in wait for him inside his own mind. He turns his head to regard her silently with his gaze, ears flicking as he contemplates her words and their possible meaning. Joker doesn’t recall if she mentioned much about this ‘him’, but it would seem, if he had heard her correctly, that she has suffered some sort of abandonment as well. It is interesting, but he is not certain he should proceed into the subject (not that he really feels like it).

“Well, you are here now,” he states as if it is rock hard, unchangeable fact, adding a curt and ‘final’ nod of his head as he turns to look out over the scenery once again. Yes, he had left his old home as well, for a different reason. He had had no desire to be molded into a shape that he felt he couldn’t fit, didn’t want to fit, prancing around for the fancy of some smaller, lower being and enjoyed like a game or toy. To carry someone around on your back is to stoop lower than yourself, to be dominated by a lesser creature. No, he wouldn’t allow it, and that’s why he came here.

If I were a boy

I think I could understand

How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man

Evanescence noticed that Joker wished not to speak of anything. Or so it seemed. So she let it die and rest. If he wanted to discuss anything with her, then he would willing do so. She wasn’t going to force him into it. She shook out her raven tresses, the slightly curly threads glittered like oil as it slithered down her neck. She didn’t speak any other words to the handsome violet stag next to her. And surprisingly, Evanescence felt fine in the silence that took up around them. Then a slight huff leaves his lips, and a roll of his shoulders, and Evanescence is aware that this as his answer ot her inquiry. She nodded, and spoke nothing else, giving him his privacy.

Her eyes trailed to her old lands, and she speaks unknowingly, her eyes glazed with sadness. But Joker catches it, and when he turns to regard her silently, she realized she had been pondering aloud and her head dropped in shame to show this weakness to anyone. She hadn’t meant to even think of him… the … was he a traitor? She didn’t know. With that final though she banned any thoughts of Khepri from her mind. If he wanted her, he would have been here. She nodded when Joker suddenly said, Well, you are here now. Simple, but true. And with the final nod of is head, she smiled when he glanced away. Yes… she was here now. Her new home.

And a better home then her old lands had to have been… Right? She was sure of it. She smiled, as well as blushed lsightly thinking about how much she already liked this new lands. But she had to wonder, how often was she going to have to switch lands like this? She started in one place, was soon captured and made a slave. She traveled then from slave owner to slave owner. Then went to Khepri’s land, and now she as here with Joker. Evanescence never realized before how often she played hopslotch with something as simple as new homes. But atleast she had found one she liked more then any of the others yest. She had to admit, couldn’t deny it. The land looked awesome.

Evanescence realized that she was silent again, and suddenly the voice broke in, ”Say something! Silly!” She hadn’t meant to, but her words were spoken alive. ”Shut up, damned voice.” A blush alligbed her face, as she realized what she had said aloud, and realized just… pretty much told Joker… She had her own little voice that talked to her. This was going so well.. Not.

[Halo]

The stallion can’t help it when he turns and stares at her, curious about her outburst but having a general idea of what she had been talking about. Similiarly he has had times when he seemed to be talking to himself, chiding a voice that pesters him and wheedles its sharp tongue into his thoughts. Sometimes the torment was too great and he would forget himself and snarl something aloud, even around others. He can understand Evanessence’s embarrassment, but does it mean that she is the same, at least has the same problem, as he?

Without realizing it, he sidles a little closer to her, eyes still peering intently at the mare with his inquisitiveness very clearly evident on his features. Perhaps he is being nosy, but he consoles himself with the excuse that he has a right to know as King…right? Joker lips her nose lightly to attract her attention, brow raised slightly in a questioning expression. “Are you alright?” Oh, he doesn’t want to come right out and ask her, that just doesn’t seem a kind thing to do. Bah, kind! Still, he would not appreciate someone outright asking, ‘Are you crazy?’, ‘Do you have voices?’, or something like that.

I won't tell you what I'm thinkin'
‘Cause it's not the same thing you're thinking too
You could say I've got a best friend
But she's always tellin' me what to do
She's out of sight but easy to find
She's on the front of my mind

Evanescence felt Joker’s eyes fall upon her, but cared not to explain why she had spoken out in such a way as she did. She snorted, shaking her head so that her long fore-tresses fell into her eyes, almost like veil. It was so unfair for the voice to talk to her, and it seemed to do it most often in the company of another. Did it want her to fight with herself, and then cause the other equine to label her a freak, and leave her at that? She shoke her head, snorting. It was so… so annoying. Why couldn’t she just go into her brain, and rip out that pestering little voice. It would be better then this.

Evanescence notices from the corner of her eye, that Joker was sliding a little closer to her, and his eyes where peering intently at her, and she knew he was curious. Oh so very curious. With a slight sigh, and a silent, ’Now look what you did, damned voice.’ Then she met his eyes. His lipping her nose had been the settling point for her to look up and a let him question her. He did have a guestioning expressiong, Are you alright?[ He had asked; and she didn’t know how to reply, what should she say. ‘Oh I’m fine. Just the little voice in my head talking to me.’ Ya, that would go over well. Her handsome king would label her a freak, and send her away. She hadn’t even told him, she had… ‘a voice…’ Or had she? She usually tried to avoid any thoughts, or memories of him and her.

Evanescence took a deep breath, and looked slowly shook her head, ”I suppose in the normal term, of alright. I am… In the mental term… I’m far from.” She muttered, hoping he hadn’t heard the last part. But he was so close he had to have heard it. Then she decided. Joker was already excepting, and something told her to trust him, and tell him. ”By Apollo’s name.” She cursed, then look surprised to here the curse leave her lips. Apollo was the god of her old lands, with Khepri… Apollo and Artemis… And she had decided to never use their names, or anoledge them ever again. She sighed, then looked at Joker, ”No, I don’t suppose I am alright.” She was going to tell him, there was no other choice, ”I… suppose I have a slight mental disease…” I’m not a mental disease!

The voice shouted loudly, indegnently. And Evanescence winced at the loud noise, and grimaced, ”Sorry…” She muttered, then spoke louder to Joker, ”Er… I mean… Okay, so you know how some people have almost… a multiple personality? They can hear voices inside their head…” She blushed but kept going, ”I have one. An annoying voice, that seems to think she is always right. She… seems to enjoy pissing me off. So I apologize for speaking out like that.” She had hung her head in embarresement at telling him the truth. ’Thanks, now he is going to call me a freak, and run me out of his terra.’ She spat-thought angrily. ”You know, now that someone knows… Can I have a name?” The voice asked… cherrifully?

So that was what this was all about, the voice wanted a name… An annoying voice, that sometimes looked out for her. The was a serene as possible, and had the nack of letting her down before helping her. A voice that had as many thoughts and emotions as she. ’Dove?’ it fit the voice. A voice that let her down, before finding a little salvation for her, that would lead to happiness, and safety. Like a bible story. The voice seemed satisfied as it let out joyful shouts in her head. Then she turned back at Joker, ”I suppose you think me weird now?” She whispered softly, an annoyed, yet knowing quality to her voice. Any one who was right in the brain would think she was weird. She just hoped he wouldn’t be one of them… But oh well, right?[/size][/color][/blockquote]

[Halo]

Joker listens carefully, intent upon words that are coming from the beauty’s mouth and trying to maintain the entertained grin sweeping across his muzzle, to no avail despite knowing it could offend her. But this conversation is just so amusing to him, her embarrassment having him quite tickled pink with the knowing that she has no need to fear his rejection. Should he console her with the understanding that he too suffers in a similar fashion as she? ’I have one,’ she says, but he giggles on the inside, remarking to himself, ’And I have three.’ Still, it seems a very different thing, a king having such a ‘disease’ compared to a herd mare. Admitting weakness has never been a strong point and his worrying about his ‘image’ his weakness.

But his thoughts are already rolling, the keyboards keying in the words to print it off his tongue. The ink voice trickles into the air to be read by Evanessence’s ears. “Well, that’s not so bad,” he comments, turning his head away slightly though his eyes remain turned sideways to look at her. “Prank, Sin, and, above all, Predator, give me such a hard time, sometimes I think about dunking my head under water and staying there to drown them. Then I remember I don’t like water in my ears.” They twitch as if to second that or the chide him for the very thought.

“You’re not weird,” his face turns suddenly serious, but there is still a twinkle in his green orbs that betrays his good humor and light mood. She certainly does know how to make his heart lighter than a feather with the things she says and does. Not many can do that for him, least of all siren-ish mares. “Everyone around us is just too normal to see how great you are.”

(OOC: BLAH…not too good…)

[Dyzz-semi-back-]

How can you see into my eyes
Like open doors?
Lading you down into my core,
Where I've become so numb.
Without a soul,
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold,
Until you find it there and lead it back
Home.
[/color]

Evanescence couldn’t help but feel a little better by how intently her words were being listened to. But when the entertained grin swept his features, she shifted nervousily, but continued her words. But even as ‘Dove’, as she had finally given the beast inside her a name, to the little beast’s relief,, kept giving tidbits to add in-that she continued to ignore- she couldn’t help but ownder how well this really was going. Was… Joker really going to accept it as part of her? Or was he going to threw her down…

Then she heard his words, Well That’s not so bad. She snorted, and was about to reply with an ‘How would you know if it was that bad or not. When he added Prank, Sin, and, above all, Predator, give me such a hard time, sometimes I think about dunking my head under water and staying there to drown them. Then I remember I don’t like water in my ears. Evanescence could feel her surprise radiating from her at his calmly tossed words. He had voices too? And it sounded like they were a tormit as well. She couldn’t help but feel axilerated at the thought of not being the only one who had to go threw this.

You’re not weird He said, Jokers face becoming serious, but a slight twinkle lit his orbs in humor. Evanescence lifted a delicate equine eyebrow at the twinkle in his orbs. What was that about. She couldn’t help the more relaxed expression she was wearing. Everyone around us is just too normal to see how great you are. That was it. Evanescence couldn’t help but laugh with joy. She giggled brightly, ”Really? They are just too normal. So what does that make you, Oh Great King Joker?” She teased. She felt a slight smile caress her lips, before it fell again, and a pondering look crossed her face.

”So you deal with it too? The Voices I mean?” She paused again, ”Do you know why us, and others like us have to be tormitted by inner freaks of being.” A smirk had occupied her words towards the end, with ‘Dove’s’ angry shouts vibrating threw her skull. She tossed her head, forcing her locks out of her face again, and so the loose black curls fell back from her façade. ”Well, tell me, kind sir Joker. Why is it that few accept those who are different like myself. I have had to hide the damned voice for so long. The few who did find out about the truth had quickly turned on me. But surprisingly enough, you’re the only equine I have told by per will. Others I had been forced into telling. I didn’t even get a chance to tell my former…” A slight pause, ”King-oh what the hell am I kidding. My former mate before he disappeared, what happened in the depths of my mind.

“And I am positive that he wouldn’t have understood like you did. If he could leave me and the rest of the herd with out a second thought, I’d rather not think about what he would have done if he knew the tormet my mind put me threw.” She spoke so coldly of her past mate, that one could only image the type of horror she was forced to endure when he left her for nothing.

Evanescence sighed, and turned back to Joker, ”Anyways, thanks for understanding.” She said, before she finally smiled again.

“What is not understood is feared and despised. But what they truly hate is the shallowness of their own souls, envious of the depths others can possess.” Yeah, yeah, just because he likes his fun and his macho image is more important doesn’t mean he ain’t intelligence. He comes off with saying something wise once in awhile, but only to those who matter enough for him to expand his brain enough. And he looks so serious now that he makes it seem like he does it all the time. ’Don’t make yourself look too brainy, dear. Nerds aren’t that attractive, either.’ He mentally rolls his eyes, casting her ‘advice’ aside carelessly.

He shrugs his strong shoulders. “But never fear. This is one King who will not be affected by the learning of such things. I wouldn’t be much of a grand king if I allowed such things to intimidate me.” He grins though he is looking out across his lands again and not at her. Whatever lover Evanessence had been, if he were to cross paths with Joker he wouldn’t certainly have to do something about him for this mare’s sake. Fools and cowards shirk their responsibilities in their herds and leave their loved-ones defenseless and lonely.

(OOC: Sorry for the short post after such a long wait…muse is blah.)

[Dyzz-semi-back-]

Joker had spoken his intelliegent words to her, and she looked at him curiosuily. Who knew he had that type of smarts where written on her façade, before she nodded along with his words. It made since. He spoke once more, but never fear. This is one King who will not be affected by the learning of such things. I wouldn’t be much of a grand king if I allowed such things to intimidate me. The vix laughed slight. ”Not a great king, is such a thing possible? She said simply. She looked out across the lands, they both had fallen silent now, and Essence felt herself wondering about her old home, her old family. Her old mate… No, he would never be considered her old mate? Right? He was still her mate, were ever he was… She hoped so atleast.

She couldn’t stand the thought of being in this world with out him. She need him. She… Oh hell, the vix still loved Khepri, even if she didn’t want to admit. She shook her head slightly, and decided she needed to find something to keep her thoughts from Khepri. She had found herself thinking of him a lot lately, and she wasn’t sure why. But it pained her each time she did.

She forced a smile onto her façade, and the pain out of her eyes, so that Joker wouldn’t be able to see the pain it really caused her to think of her beloved Khepri. ”So, Grand King Joker, is their anything else I should know about this land… My new home. I wouldn’t want to look like an insuffeccient herd mare when I stumble into another of this land, right?” She asked so calmly. Insignifigant herd mare. Only there to add bulk to the herd, and keep it popserious. That is what her life had been narrowed down. From the special someone to the ruler of a lead, to a simple herd member… Oh how much she missed Khepri and how things had been. ’Snap out of it you fool!’ Dove snapped. Essence’s ears pinned back, and she muttered angrily to herself, ”Shut up.” Her tone, and the lowness of it suggested it was the named voice that she spoke to now.

OOC: No time for finding lyrics-okay so I couldn’t find decent ones… Sorry for the length…

(OOC: The length is fine. Look how long it took me to reply to you! Really sorry!)
BIC:

Somehow, when she gets that look in her eyes, he knows that she is thinking about that other stallion she mentioned. And for some reason it makes jealousy sprout up, to curdle in his belly and make him just want to trounce off, find the brute, and do away with him so she doesn’t have him to think about anymore. Selfish, maybe, but she is his now, right? He doesn’t want to share her with anyone, even if it is just thoughts and memories. Yet, Joker knows that there is no way for him to control it. And maybe that’s what really bothers him.

“Nothing that comes to mind,” Joker states, choosing to look over her ‘shut up’ for what it really is because he thinks she might appreciate it. Still, he smiles. It feels good not to be alone in his torment for once. Not many would understand him and his condition, not many would understand Evanessence and hers. But maybe that’s why they will get along – understanding. He resists the contented sigh that wants to heave in and out of his lungs all on its own, not wanting to look like some pansy fool. “It’s been quiet lately.”

Turn Around
Turn Around and fix your eye in my direction
So there is a connection
I can't speak
I can't make a sound to somehow capture your attention
I'm staring at perfection
Take a look at me so you can see
How beautiful you are

Evanessence has indeed traveled into the thoughts of… him, but she quickly attempted to shake the thoughts from her. She didn’t want to dewindle in the past, not as much as he could. She was with her new lead, her life was different. She needed to stop thinking about such things. She snorted, and then looked up as Joker states, Nothing that comes to mind. She nodded, and smiled slightly. He spoke nothing of the ‘Shut up’ she had said allowed, and looked at him, only to see him smiling. She tilted her cranium to the side slightly, loose black waves cascading down her face. It’s been quiet lately. He added.

She looked at him quizzically, ”Is that odd?” She asked, not being familiar enough to the lands to know if it was or not. She smiled slightly, and added, ”It doesn’t have to be so quiet. You could always go find more herd members.” Evanessence felt a sly smile cross her face, and added in a teasing tone, ”Or make more.” She tugged at his banner to show him she was just teasing, and gave him a slight smile.

You call me a stranger

He had turned to stare at her when she inquired and teased, letting her tug on his mane with no complaint to it. A devilish smirk had crept its way across his muzzle at her. He leans over and nudges her shoulder. “It is not wise to tempt me, my dear,” he warns playfully, though there is some underlying seriousness in the background of his tone that says not to tease too much unless it’s what she really wants. Most stallions are not prone to good senses of control when it comes to mares and breeding and Joker isn’t in the minority of those who do. He likes his mares and what he can do with them, as much as any stallion does, he’s no different.

Great, now she has him thinking about it. He snorts and shakes his head, doing a small dance in place while he tries to calms himself and the desires that had snuck up on him. Finally the brute stands rooted in place, refusing to look at the mare lest he be inspired to do something that she would not be pleased with, something that he might regret (sort of). Joker has no longing to forcebred the ebonite beauty, saving that for the wretches he has serving him as slaves. He grunts and tries to subject himself to that determination.

(OOC: Ah, the torment for a stallion. Lol The length was fine. Mind aren’t impressive, by a long shot.)
