Guess who's back, back again

*Valentine* · 06-05-2016, 01:15 PM

Cascade exploded onto the scene with more than enough energy for all three of them. As weary as he was, the sight of his friend racing towards him brought an enthused grin to his lips. When compared to a lifetime the past few weeks were little more than a few heartbeats, but Valentine still felt as though he'd aged greatly. Cascade, however, appeared little worse for wear. And he was so very glad to see her.

Uh oh. For a brief second as he watched Cascade barrel towards him Valentine was sure she was going to run him over. Any other time he'd have been able to take it, but today without the tractor at his side, she'd have been able to plow right through him. He stiffened, still enthused and grinning but prepared for a seemingly inevitable collision. Thankfully Cascade quickly slowed and the blow he'd expected never came. Still, the weight of her against him was enough to push him further (and uncomfortably) into the tire of his tractor and Valentine had to shift his weight around and try to lean fully against his friend to combat the weight pressed against him.

Her touch was energizing to say the least and while he was perhaps a little concerned for her health considering his own, Valentine couldn't bring himself to protest her gentle nibbles. After a moment he dipped his head in an attempt to press the side of it against hers. He savored her presence; relishing the warmth she radiated and the shoulder he leaned against.

Cascade's words drew a snort from him. Saucily, he retorted, "Just hell, eh? I feel like death." He certainly didn't look like a king. How recently had his sunken sides been etched with hard muscle? How long ago had his lackluster coat shone? The King had deteriorated rapidly and in his current state he was the picture of ill health. Even the scars that had once given his appearance a seasoned edge now served to complete the picture of a worn out warrior. After a moment's thought he sobered and asked, "How are the boys?"
