Both simply stare at him for a time, perhaps dazzled by his bright colors or unnerved by his unnatural stillness. He does not know which, if either reason is even valid. He simply knows that the moon-child speaks first, a single word that is laden with meaning. He nods sagely, as though her answer of ‘cobwebs,’ is the most natural thing in the world to say in reply to his remark. Her voice carries tones of quiet awe, and he is aware now of why he was pulled to approach the small gathering. She, too, is a creature of another tale, not a simple foal who has lost its way. Drifting in her own cloud of dream logic, belonging to a realm of haunting serenity and lurking danger. Helovia however, will be even more dangerous to this flicka, uncaring of her ghostly demeanor, throwing her into the path of wolves in disguise. A bond forms in his mind. Until the dreamer adjusts to the ravenous cruelty of this land, she will have a striped shadow, whether she is aware of him or not. It is the least he can offer to a fellow world-wandering soul. That, and an answer. "Beautiful, are they not? So delicate, yet impossible to be rid of." Whether this makes sense to the girl does not matter to him.
Attention shifts to the cat-eyed stallion, the one who issued a game of wordplay. “You could say I am looking for nothing, yet everything.” This one, too, is not right. Something is subtly off, just enough to tell Chester to watch him as well. It is intriguing, to have come across two odd creatures at the same time. The grulla stallion is an enigma that he had not even known existed, despite living so close. It may just be those slit pupils that are calling the pony who used to be a cat, or it may be something else. Complex labyrinthine mind cannot tell, and so the knowledge is stored for pondering at a later date. Now, there are more important things to dwell upon.
The daughter of darkness and moonlight, the yellow-feline-eyed mystery lord, and himself, the brightly striped trickster who knew more then he said. Surely their meeting meant something. The pony-cat would just have to figure out what that something was.
"OOC: Yeah, I know the other one is rather eye-searing. Is this better?
