| She asked for sweeps that day. Cold air rushes up to meet them, and although they stick to plan at first, at a certain point she suggests curling up and into the mountains, and Sforzath agrees, restlessly eager for a change in routine. Alpine meadows unfold beneath them as their shadow skims over the surface of grass and rill and rock. Below, the cloudy green of a lake fed by melting snow. The vastness of this hazy blue sky isn't her own, up here where the air is thin. Nor this craggy horizon, bleak and distant. Hers -- theirs, a small, angry voice insists -- is expansive in its changing moods, an endless line where the sea and sky respond to each other, quickening into a tumult of cloudbanks and riotous foam or stilling into such calm that the eye deceives itself, becomes content with indolent indistinction. A horizon that goes on and on. The lingering poignancy of the last note of a song. The mountains make them small. Makes her inchoate emotions smaller, buried and compacted until all that's left is the hard fist that makes up her core. With the wind stinging her cheeks, Riorde tucks her chin deeper into her jacket and flattens herself against Sforzath. She can feel the slide of muscles under smooth hide, and she closes her eyes, welcoming the black and the roar of air in her ears and under their wings, willing her heart to slow to match the beats of his own rather than flutter at its own faster pace. As if the world could be distilled into only this. In her mind's eye, she can see it anyway. |
