HE DOESN’T FEEL LIKE MUCH OF A FIGHTER ANYMORE. Maybe once, years before, he would have considered himself more of a WARRIOR MAGE than a scholar, but in the time he’d spent CURSED to wander in the shape of a horse, rarely had Matthias been in a position where DEFENDING HIMSELF HAD BEEN NEEDED. In other words-- the man was RUSTY, extremely so.

(And MOUTHY. Too much for his own good.)

Chest heaving, white blouse soaked with blood, he’s managed to prop himself up against a bit of rubble, a hand over his stomach, the other limp against the ground. “I-- I’m so SORRY, Cassandra-- I should-- sh-should have been MORE CAREFUL--” | @gloryreign​

“--and just WHERE do you think you’re going with that spell book, young lady?” He can’t even be bothered to look up from his own reading when he says it, dark blue eyes still trained on the pages. “Isn’t that just A BIT ADVANCED for someone your age?” | @musetothemusic​ for maggie !!

“I’m truly sorry I tried to bite you.” NO HE’S NOT. Not really. (Maybe a little bit.) “I just want you to know that it was NOT because Cassandra told me to, despite what you may have heard.” | @flynni​

“I suppose you’ll want me to call you MY KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOUR, now won’t you?” He rolls his eyes, but there’s definitely a playful lilt in his tone. Matthias pokes her cheek before his gaze returns to the spell book in front of him. “I’m not wholly AGAINST the idea...” | @irnmaidn​

“My dear Cassandra, I hope you realise that I am forever in your debt.” He takes her hand, gently raising it, lips brushing against her knuckles. Dark blue eyes watched her, half-lidded. “How you managed to see past the WHITE NAG EXTERIOR, I’ll never understand.” | @gloryreign​

HE WAS ALL BUT SURE HE SHOULDN’T BE THERE. Usually, he tried to be very cautious about who saw him while out in public, but today was one of those... what was the phrase now? Giving zero fucks? People were definitely staring as he made his way down the sidewalk. Matthias simply sighed and rolled his eyes, trying his best to avoid bumping into anyone. 

It wasn’t as if he was in a hurry. However, the constant clicking of the weird boxes people carried as well as threats to call ‘animal control’ (whatever that was) were rather bothersome. | @wolfvirago​

CURVED EARS SWIVEL BACK AND FORTH, almost mesmerizing in their movement. He’s trying to figure out whether or not the human is a threat; probably not, the child is small, maybe a few years younger than he was when he’d been transfigured. However... it’s the STAFF that sets off alarm bells in his head. You are... interesting. Clearly a magic-user, though ‘witch’ does not seem appropriate for one the likes of you. | @staffcarrier​

HE’D NEVER BEEN SO CLOSE TO CORONA. A couple thousand years, yet venturing to that particular kingdom had never been high on his to-do list. At least, not until he’d felt a rather strong magical pull in that direction. Something was different; was Zhan Tiri finally gone for good? Matthias watched on from a pasture near the road, trying to stay as inconspicuous as possible. 

Though a horse so odd was sure not to go unnoticed. | @kingdomreign​ for anyone !!
