The quiet, withdrawn older bay watches his dark friend, the King of the Darks. "Malussinn?" he inquires, his voice sparked with mild surprise and a tint of amusement. "Royal Healer? Aren't you afraid I'll overstep my bounds, your Highness?" But his black eyes darken slightly as he views the name just above him on the list. Ziraga? But... that's the stallion who tried to kill Mal, and took the throne! A clear glance of apprehensive, questioning surprise is sent to the Arabian's long-time friend.

"I trust that you won't," he answered quietly, turning to meet his friend's questioning gaze squarely. "As I trust that you and Ziraga will be able to deal with each other. I need both of your support, Apathan, if I'm going to win this. I need all the support I can get." He turned his eyes to the list, as if studying it for the first time. For a moment he was silent. Then he inserted into the puncuating silence, "Do I still have yours?"

His dark eyes are deep pools of intense thought as his friend speaks with deadly seriousness, so he responds with equal solemnity. "Malussinn, you have always had my loyalty, and you always shall. With everything I am, forever." He turns his gently-dished, rough Arabian face to directly meet the gaze of the black King. "Forever."

"Thank you, Apathan. I don't know how I'll ever be able to repay your loyalty... and your friendship fairly enough." [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

His own spheres penetrate the other's with his signature quiet gaze... silent but deep with a thousand evanescent meanings. "Malussinn," he responds in his customary bass rumble after a moment of thought, "your friendship is payment enough. You have always been a great King, and long after we both are gone you shall not be forgotten."

And the last is said silently, with solely the mind and for the benefit only of the aging bay. And I will be honored to be remembered as the one who stood by your side, Malussinn.
