ARM YOURSELF
Because no one else here will save you and I will replace you
She was not a wispy mare. The way her body tensed and coiled in surprise as his presence more or less appeared from her periphery actually posed a legitimate threat. She was shorter, yes, but her build was thicker than his. In a way, she seemed build for strength when he was build for finesse. Naturally it would be that way given that he had four, towering weapons along his brow and poll and she had but her wings to offer a defense. Her body would even them in war, he thought, and the fact that she was of a thicker frame did not make her any less beautiful. In fact, it made her more so because she was dangerous, deadly - a challenge.
The natural defense was apparently to lift her wings, allowing the wind to glide over and under the feathers that rustled quietly. Ears were pinned as if he were a threat, and the only offer of good will he gave was a simple 'good evening'. It hardly seemed enough, but she seemed to relax her wings. (Or was she preparing them for flight still? He did not know).
Black hooves stopped near the mare, and he gaze through the fog, trying to find the edges that were taunting him with their obscurity. She was not a solid black mare, of course. Though the darkness troubled his vision, he believed a deep crimson to mark her body and wings, a crimson which would match her eyes? Perhaps. Light would make his assessment easier, but the darkness was almost preferred, especially here.
He commented on the beauty of the land, and that was not a concept he was used to exercising. What was left of his soul died long ago, or that was what he preferred to tell himself. Emotions were a liability, a weakness he could not afford. Was it beautiful? Did he have a preference? He would take her word for it. "Mhm," he rumbled in an affirmative, cold gaze sweeping over the land, searching for a particular reason for this beauty and finding none. The cold, unforgiving ocean of a look turned back to her. "I have not seen you before. Are you new? Are you seeking a place to live? Perhaps danger to chase?" he asked, not willing to play all of his cards so quickly.
