Born with wings? How could that happen? She nearly flinched when the wing slightly lifted for her to get a closer look, but she caught herself just in time to keep her posture still. She would not show weakness in front of a stranger, nor would she make him feel that he was better just because of the useful digits he had been graced with. Not that he was acting in such a way, but her mind often revolved around these kinds of thoughts; always judging everyone's mannerisms and movements, pondering their motives when speaking to her, and drinking in the way they spoke and responded to her. Yes, he was friendly for sure, welcoming in fact and didn't seem to mind her ignorance, and yet she still felt uneasy.
Perhaps it was the nonchalant air to him, or those gold, pupiless eyes. Soon he spoke of something called a Pegasus. The word sank deep into the recesses of her mind for it to be remembered as she let him complete his thought. Winged horses that could fly. How strange and also eerie. Apparently there were horses that were stranger than he? The thought caused interest to quell within her. All that showed on her face though, was an attentive expression that masked her true feelings. Tossing her large head to the side, she then glanced down at his collar as he described its function. Only then did her curiosity grow intensely, throbbing like a sore hoof as it begged for her to ask more. She couldn't of course, that would mean she would have to reveal that she was more ignorant than he perceived. She would never admit such a thing, as it brought great disrespect to her self-image. This was always a big no no in her book.
Instead, she only took one last glance at the glimmering metal, before looking into his eyes confidently, voice strong but civil,"No thank you. There's no point in delaying the heart of this conversation. Is there something you needed from me? Surely you didn't just saunter up to me to simply chat, especially when there are plenty of more wanderers present who are more welcoming to it."
