"I didn't say you were." Ktulu replied curtly when the filly insisted that she wasn't stupid. "But you're being stupid." Which, to Ktulu, was very true. Of course it had been years since Ktulu had been a filly, and years since she'd had any viable relationship with either of her parents. Perhaps when she were young and dumb she'd have thought along the same lines as the filly in front of her. But life and experience had driven away naive innocence and had hardened her into the mare she was.

Her expression remained the same as the child confirmed her assumption. It seemed the lost and the ones running in search of a better life always found Helovia. Ktulu didn't think any of them ever truly found whatever it was they were looking for. In many ways Helovia appeared to have greener grass, but once within its borders ... well. It wasn't all it appeared to be. A child as young as the one before her would never survive on her own. Helovia's monsters would eat her alive.

"Oh, please." Ktulu snorted, her eyes rolling as the filly called her mean. If she had an amulet for everytime she'd been called mean she'd be unable to move beneath the weight of them. "What do you think laying there and dying is doing?" She asked, her tone still curt. "SHe came all this way. Brought you all this way to find something better for you and you're willing to throw it all away in the face of one tragedy." The Constrictor pointed out, though the filly probably needed a gentler touch. There was nothing about Ktulu that was gentle. Even when mothering her own children she hadn't shielded them from the horrors of the world. She protected them to the best of her abilities, but they knew the evil that lurked.

Eytan's presence was enough to draw the child's attention away from her dead mother, which would also probably give the both of them a reprieve from the hurtful conversation. "He's a bear." She answered the filly's question. "Bonded to me in mind and spirit." Her 'brow' raised when the child prattled on about her mother never showing her one of those before. "Probably because they're predators." Ktulu responded back, much to Eytan's dismay. He didn't want the child to be scared of him and being labled as a predator --which was true -- was a surefire way to make her scared. He snorted in Ktulu's general direction then sat in an attempt to make himself look less threatening.

"No, he doesn't have any markings." The answer had barely left Ktulu's lips and, already, the filly was prattling about a marking on her ass that kind of looked like a cloud. Ktulu glanced at Eytan, who held her gaze for a second before looking back at the child. "Sure." She finally answered. "Let's see it."
