Her lips fell open slightly, gaze widening as the child grabbed her flower from the frog's grave. Agnodice took a step back from the child, shock growing on her features. She was unsure of what to make of the situation. Who was this child? Who did he think he was? What right did he have to treat life as something so meaningless? He was no God, he had no right to take life as he pleased. In her mind, she thought that not even Gods had that right, but she wouldn't argue with her patrons.

The duchess shook her head slowly, turquoise gaze slowly becoming overcome with fear and outrage. Tassels of her soft onyx mane cascaded around her small, sloped head, the movements soon becoming faster as her anger swelled within her chest. "Have you no morals?"  She spoke softly, disgustedly, repulsed by the actions of the colt. "HAVE YOU NO MORALS?! What makes you think life is so meaningless?!"  Her words were mangled, choked as they came from her mouth. She expected an answer.

Agnodice looked away from the boys, moving her gaze to the water as she heard the other's jaws snapping. For once, she didn't try to stop this violence. She didn't condone it, but she wouldn't be stopping it this time. In truth, the duchess felt empty. She was not one to stay angry, that emotion soon dwindled within her. But it left her with a deep sense of nothingness. She could do so little for this colt, for he was simply born with these false morals. No one could have inflicted such a sick view of the world upon him so soon after greeting the world, this was simply who he was. This realization began to break her. Her years of studying medicine meant nothing if she couldn't heal the unseeable damage.

But how was she to do so?

How do you a treat a mind that is so innately broken by its own nature?

For once, was she truly incapable of doing anything, at all?
