dark, you can't come soon enough for me; mandalocks - Szeth - 10-13-2016 dark, you can't come soon enough for me @[Mandalocks] RE: dark, you can't come soon enough for me; mandalocks - Mandalocks - 10-13-2016 Mandalocks T I watched the stallions, one with wings, one without move away from each other, the wingless one almost disgusted by the other's wings. I started out of the forest towards the wingless one, noting his coat color. Strangely, he resembled Kreios and I wondered whether he was a son of his or not. Once I was far into his hearing range, I started a hello. "Hi." I say simply to him, looking at his spotted coat. If he was my father, then I certainly didn't inherit his coloration. I was a greyish black with primitive markings, like many of my siblings and family. I'm struggling to be scared in the dark.

A few brief memories appear, her mother telling her she was quite unlike her father.. But she couldn't remember what Mum had said her father looked like. She stumbled back, confused, when he asked the odd question. She decided it wouldn't help to deceive here, and so she spoke the truth. After a few seconds of silent debate - emotions played across her facial features as she thought with an intense focus - she started to speak. "She's my mum." She says simply, her ears flickering between facing outwards and forwards as she listens to her surroundings. Her cross-caste lessons had, apparently, served her well in keeping an eye on a situation's location, and, well, I guess she'd call them the "elements" of the area - the horses, sounds, voices, scents and the weather. If it was raining, she'd have a better chance in an open space, ie a grove or heath. If thundering, she'd have to risk the forest. If even weather, like it was at the moment, she knew she'd have to find a thick forest to truly evade the chase with her tactics.. If he decided to do something to her, she knew she was screwed. "Why.. Why did you want to know?" She asks quietly, then cursing herself when she realized exactly what she asked. She realized multiple minutes had passed between her reply and then her accursed query, and her ears flicked back for a few seconds before settling for a guarded location - forward but not quite showing curiosity or interest.

Her ears swivel as she listens to her surroundings for the next few moments before he speaks again. "Three since spring.. Why?" She says, now a small amount of suspicion in her gut. She doesn't quite trust him to be honest.. But he seems disturbed at the fact that Blazed is her mother, and that she looks like her. Speaking of looking liking her mother, she tilts her head to look at him. "Why..?" She asks with a guarded tone, starting to become worried with how much he seemed perturbed. He didn't seem to look like her sister, and she didn't look like her - from what she remembers of her own form from looking at herself in water - much. How likely was it, now that she considered it, that they had different fathers? Quite likely, she presumed - whether that would be for better or for worse, she didn't know at the moment. @[Szeth] RE: dark, you can't come soon enough for me; mandalocks - Szeth - 10-22-2016 dark, you can't come soon enough for me RE: dark, you can't come soon enough for me; mandalocks - Mandalocks - 10-24-2016 The mare started to remember a conversation she'd overheard, where her mother had mentioned this stallion-and-maybe-my-father named Szeth and whether to tell Mandalocks. She's previously ignored the topic, and never asked or hinted towards it, but she had wondered more as she grew older, until the name buzzed like a fly in her mind. "Once, she said something with your name in it. She was talking to somebody else; I wasn't listening closely." She says, the pure truth in her voice, obvious in her eyes she was being honest. She had been only a yearling, and didn't bother much with politics and men yet then. "Where do you live, now?" She asks, reluctantly, out of curiosity. She wanted to know her father-but-maybe-not-father. She wanted to know whether he was worth remembrance and visitation or whether he should be forgotten once Mandalocks returns to her home in Sylva. @[Szeth] RE: dark, you can't come soon enough for me; mandalocks - Szeth - 10-29-2016 dark, you can't come soon enough for me RE: dark, you can't come soon enough for me; mandalocks - Mandalocks - 10-29-2016 Paradise Beach.. She'd heard that name before - maybe that's why she slightly recognized his name? They're all gone. She feels sorry for him, she knew what it was like to be alone when she was separated from the rest. "I live in Sylva. I found, after about a fortnight of being alone and separated from anyone I knew, the rest of the ones I knew from the Falls. We were granted the autumn-forest land. It's as close to home as we'll get here." She shares, then he asks her name. She's slightly nervous; has she given more than she should? Mandalocks doesn't know his intent. Is he going to want to try to claim her? Hold her in his harem - if he has one yet - until she can break free or contact Sylva for help? "Mandalocks." She states blandly, as if the topic is nothing of importance, and her mouth moved against her will. She noted that they had similar builds; the same short back, the same small knees, the large, sprung-rib frame. How likely is it, she wondered, for them to, indeed, be related? She knew they were both likely assuming based upon the facts. @[Szeth] |
