Jun. 9th, 2014 07:51 amAli looked up at the statue in the center of the Darktail’s country home garden. Surrounded by high bushes and framed by beds of flowers, it had been well-hidden from the main house. She could understand why.
"Wow, that’s really… er… I mean they’re very… um…" she stumbled.
"Heroically proportioned?" Salli supplied helpfully, making no attempt to hide the grin on her face.
"Yes," Ali agreed, nodded while not taking her eyes off the pair of foxen rendered in white marble. "I mean… why…?"
"Was it made?" Salli finished. She hugged Ali’s waist, explaining, "The first Lord Darktail and his wife Lady Midnight were very deeply in love. And expressions of fertility in thanks to the Mother Goddess’ gifts are traditional in gardens. Though I’ll admit that they aren’t usually so…. Hmm…"
"Directly expressed?" Ali supplied, still looking at the two intertwined figures.
"Exactly."
