Tor shifted uncomfortably, but her ears flicked forward, listening attentively enough. The stallion's greetings were polite enough, even if they seemed to hide other meanings behind their tense inflections. Tor was hindered by a sense of needing to know, but she restrained herself. Dark eyes blinked, momentarily shuttered by white eyelashes. It seemed the chilled morning reflected the intricate balances of push-and-pull at a standstill between Lace and Tor. A quick bob of her head answered Lace's attempt at condolences. It was not... it was... in truth, Tor didn't know at all what she was thinking, or even doing, really. Of course, the grullo had danced around the subject of why she was here. That in itself was an interesting note.
A shiver ran through the hefty tobiano as an alien conscience brushed across her mind, filled with rage and spite. It withdrew, the only thing Tor could make out were a child's mangled words hardly understandable. The presence of so unknown, so bizarre, so totally unreletable Tor found herself shaking uncontrollably, nervous spasms twisting through her. What was that?
Control yourself. Inhaling deeply, Tor pushed away the fear, drawing herself up, head held at such an angle it conveyed an image of humbleness, distaste, pride and hesitancy altogether, despite the many conflicting natures. For a brief moment, the tobiano considered explaining her disappearing self. It seemed Lace and her only met to depart quickly after. "I'm well." For another second, Tor wondered if she should just fall silent, if only to make Lace uncomfortable. But such a spiteful, petty action was sure to do nothing in her favor. After all, she was, technically, at Lace and Fajira's mercy. "How are you, Lace? Our departure from our last meeting cut things short." The words were not eloquent and smooth, in fact even a little stuttered and blinkered, but the meaning was conveyed clearly enough.
I'm sorry.
