The roan pursed his lips, still an inch away from the water of the pool. His ears folded and lay flat, anticipating another monotonous litany of greetings and titles. One eye rolled toward the stranger, disdain openly shading the dark oval of his pupil, but what he saw belied the innocence of her words.

The mare was standoffish, closed in her expression where her words had been open and inviting. Her tenseness was visible, muscles held rigid as if waiting for the cue to propel her to safety. Intrigue teased the stallions ears away from their usual home against his poll. He turned to look at her fully.

The two were of an even height, but outward similarities ended there. She was lighter of build and long in the leg, while he stood in comparatively broad, square conformation. His eyes traced the ribbons of color that spiraled up her legs from hoof to knee, noting how the blue mirrored her eyes and horn, more vibrant than any cloudless sky. He’d only seen that type of brightness on the backs of flying insects, usually the biting kind.

Nature often warned the world about its dangers with bright colors and flashy decorations. The roan was an exception to this rule, but he lived close enough to his primitive instincts to remember. He wondered what powers the decorated inhabitants of this land might have if the plain looking ones could move trees and command shadow-birds.

“Why does the bottom of the pool reflect red?”

He spoke slowly, almost sing-songing the words in a novel attempt at sounding cordial. Politeness was an unaccustomed gesture and it showed in the obvious effort of pronouncing the question without a threat lying heavy over the syllables.


OOC: Short one today, sorry. :(
