Mazikeen

There is a very, very brief moment where Mazikeen is embarrassed to have been caught with hairy legs and playing around with her colour - but she quickly remembers that she had wanted company when she messed around. It helps, too, that the stranger arrives with a brights smile. A quiet laugh escapes her at his comment. It was a neat trick, she agreed completely.

“Thanks, it’s new.” She focuses on this stranger and half-intending to, half-accidentally, paints herself in black and white - matching what she can see of his colouration and pattern in the low light. Her head tilts a little to the side, a small grin tugging at one corner of her mouth, before she blinks and she’s returned to her own colouration.

So… still black and white, just in different quantities and patterns.

The thick fur protecting her legs from the cold water also disappears, lost with her concentration, which causes Mazikeen to lower her gaze and frown for a moment. But, she doesn’t focus on that for long - not when she has company. It’s been a while since she’s met a new face - longer still since she’s met one and wasn’t immediately attacked by one of the shadow creatures. When she looks up - she casts her orange eyes around instinctively before they settle on the stallion again - that glimmer of a smile still present. “I don’t think it's a trick that’ll exactly help me kill any monsters but I gotta admit, it’s fun.”
