For a moment he was too stunned to move, his eyes wide and his jaw hanging open with wonder. It was her. He realized he was staring and broke his gaze away, his heart pounding with excitement. “Sorry.” He muttered and cleared his throat. “You don’t know me, not yet anyway, but I am Yale Beaufort’s son, Pegasus.” He explained, unable to keep the childlike wonder from his voice as he spoke to the former queen. Hope began to unfurl in his chest like a flower in bloom; She would help him on his mission, he was sure of it. What reason would she have to deny him?

“I came to avenge my father.” He said suddenly emboldened, unable to keep the boyish smile from his face. In his juvenile mind she had already agreed to join him and he could clearly envision her tipping her head back an calling leagues of warriors sworn to fight for her. His smile grew as excitement ran through him. Unable to stop himself, his chest puffed out with glorious pride he asked “Will you join me?” the question sounding almost rhetorical, convinced he knew the answer. "Talk" "Thought" "You" |
