Finally the continuation of ~ He*ll Be Back ~ ! So sorry for the wait >.<))

Sterling stands last in line, waiting for Bero and Kross to get their job orders for the evening. While his body is in place his mind keeps drifting back to Nevermore . Is she still sleeping in her typical angelic manner? Did he accidentally wake her up when he left? Oh no, what if she thinks he abandoned her?!
He's so distracted he almost misses the Premier talking to him. Luci clears his throat several times to catch the appaloosa's attention.

"Sterling! Are you with us?"

Sterling snaps back to attention. "Y...yes sire! Could you repeat that?"

Luci gives him a rather chilling look, one that pierces through his very core. "I merely asked if you had a moment to speak with me. It seems that you have something else weighing on your mind."

"I won't lie to you. I really do." Sterling replies cautiously. He follows the pale stallion to a more secluded area of the camp, the one typically reserved for the Chosens to graze or discuss things. Normally Luci isn't hostile towards him!

"Hmm, I know the feeling. Is it someone named...Nevermore perhaps?" Luci's question is more of a demand. They're facing off now.

Sterling shrinks under the dominant male's accusation. He has choices: Lie, truth, or flee. If he lies the Premier might punish him severely. If he tells the truth he might get some backlash. Fleeing is pointless, he'd get caught. Sterling takes a deep breath, avoiding as much eye contact as possible.
"Yes sire, Nevermore and I have grown fond of each other as of late. She told me that you two are on good terms about it, and I'm truly sorry for whatever upset this may have caused."

At his open confession Luci loses his angry façade. Good. This has gone better than originally planned. "Yes we did speak about the subject, but she never confided the name of the one she fancied. I had my suspicions about several of the stallions here. I'm glad to have finally figured out who he is."

"Um...how did you figure that out?" Sterling asks meekly. Oh no was someone spying on them?!

"You absolutely reek of her. I think that is a rather obvious sign, don't you think?" Luci tilts his head slightly with an amused expression. He will miss his cuddle time with Nevermore! Oh well, all good things must come to an end. "I am not terribly upset, just slightly relieved. You are the most suitable male for her rank-wise, as much as I hate to admit such a thing. You are a good loyal Tier member who has never disobeyed an order. You live in mostly silence to avoid conflict with your voice. I do envy your voice I must say!"

Sterling nods quietly. Here it comes...the backlash will be any moment now...

"For your good deeds I shall bestow upon you some sound advice regarding our dear Nevermore." Luci concludes.

"You will?" Sterling looks at him in disbelief. "Many thanks sire!"

"I shall. Not a whole lot though, mind you." Luci hopes he won't regret divulging this information later. "Are you listening?"

Sterling stands to attention as an answer.

Luci tries to find something to start with. Nevermore was one of his most precious mares, his gem. "Very well. I suppose her favorite flower is the lavender; she likes the strong scent and how it soothes one's mind. Her favorite treat is pine tree sap for whatever reason...I think the tart flavor is a nice difference from the typical sweet saps, plus the pleasant smell bonus. She does not enjoy belong alone for long periods of time. Her past herd shunned her for looking different. Her skin burns easily in the sun. She wants to visit the seashore some day in the future; she always sniffs the salty storm air when it blows inland. Compliments don't work as well as gifts do, unless they're really meaningful. Any questions?"

"N...no sire! Thank you sire. That is beyond helpful." Sterling is relieved that he won't be attacked or punished. He can't really choose what his heart wants.

"Very good. If I ever catch word that you have mistreated her in any way you shall suffer. Do not disappoint." Luci shoots him a warning glance.
"Your assignment is to follow the Protectors around and monitor their progress."

Sterling withholds a shudder. Okay, so maybe Luci is still mad at him! His legs are going to be soooo sore after this...
"Yes sire I shall get started right away."

Luci nods dismissively and departs. Sterling plods off to start his job. Even though the prospect of exhaustion plagues his mind, his heart soars at the thought of returning to Nevermore again. Would she be waiting for him? Is she just as excited to see him again as he is to see her? He hopes so!
This little spark of joy gives him the energy to practically float over to his long assignment. Each step closer is one step nearer to being able to get back to her.
------------------------------------------------------------
Luci is not happy, but at least he knows who Nevermore's new boo is XD R.I.P Sterling's hooves lol, he and Adolfa will soon face the same pain! If it's any consolation Nevermore knows how to give massages for poor aching muscles.
