Are you getting bad vibes, Sospes?
Not necessarily. At least from him. His companion is....well I am wary is all.
She met his gaze, if for a moment. His blue orbs were intense, almost piercing. Her own gaze was blurred into a monotone, unappealing in her opinion. In fact, everything about her was monotone. She took a moment to sweep his yellow hue, his dark markings and over-sized horn. It was then that she realized that the man was taller then her. That has never happened...meeting someone who's height was more impressive then her own.
She let her crown lift, her ears pricking at his soft tone and amused smile.
As she spoke, her head lifted even more, meeting Kianzo's gaze. It would seem that talking about these deep thoughts relaxed her, her body no longer trembling. "I guess, falling...the adrenaline rush...reminds me that I am not in a fantasy. That this is real."
This is real....Idolum was suddenly aware of how assured she spoke. Her eyes dropped, again clearing her throat. Sospes dug his talons into her shoulder, a look of disappointment in his ivory eyes.
Why did you stop? That was good.
That was embarrassing.
The bird huffed out of his beak, dropping to the ground as the dog-like creature came forward. Idolum watched as he took a step forward, his wings spread, making himself look much bigger then he really is, a shrill caw of greeting bellowing forward.
And now your embarrassing me.
Im just saying hello.
Loudly.
The mare gazed back at Kianzo, returning his grin. "Are you in this herd? I guess I haven't met many yet..." Her voice trailed off, waiting for the man's response with her awkward smile.
