ＷＨＥＮ: present — day after the tavern ＷＨＥＲＥ: troy — the outer gates ＷＨＯ: @shecontempt
it had been days since venus first asked if they could go outside the walls of troy and he’d wanted to take her. if it’d been possible, blaiz might’ve even taken her then and there, but it wasn’t. even the outing he’d managed to arrange for them now was a risk, but more than anything he wanted to keep his word to her. and he’d foolishly promised he’d make it happen. if only to see her smile—see her happy, however fleeting the moment may be.
he ran a hand over the thick neck of a chestnut steed, his loyal companion for years now, patting the beast lovingly before checking the saddle and tightening the straps. the prince moved his attention to the mare waiting impatiently only a few feet behind him. ❝ this one will be yours, ❞ he announced turning around to look at the sky girl while pointing at the black horse. she didn’t seem to be the most even tempered creature, but nor did venus as far as he could tell. a perfect match.
