 The amount of silence from the other side, from the Basin unicorns, was disconcerting to the girl. Deimos said nothing, Illynx said nothing, they just listened and laid strangely prying eyes upon the horses of the Edge. Kahlua was disappointed. For some reason her childish mind had conjured up images of smiling faces that welcomed the glass structure with open arms. And so she was conflicted between her joy at the little gift that she had been granted and the sadness she felt for lack of interest in her sculpture. But for the most part her sorrows were forgotten when the Engineer mentioned that the thing would follow her, and only her. Even his prolonged stare did not worry her or make her feel uneasy- she was much to simple and social to find the look uncomfortable. Instead, after another look to the wandering metal scorpion, she returned her blue eyes to his and smiled brightly. “Thank you, sir.” Perhaps Kaj was right. Perhaps all unicorns were not so bad as she imaged them. And then he left. If there was something ominous about the way he said that only she should return, the girl did not think or worry about it. She was not particularly concerned that the thing would break, but of course the Engineer knew more about it than she did. Instead, she extended her forelimb, reaching out to touch her nose to the scorpion's tail, encouraging it to crawl up her leg and onto her withers. The feeling of the thing's claws into her flesh was not entirely desirable, but the girl was all but beside herself to have been given a gift and so she ignored even the tiny pricks of pain. Once the thing was settled into place, she smiled, bowing her head to the two that remained, and picked up her basket. Her duty had been done, she would leave now. Then she turned, headed back the way she came, hoping her guard would follow. The day had been long, their travel tiring, but she thought it better to go home than to stay here in the cold. The woods were much better. |
