EIRLYS
He accepts it. The apology. A strange response, one Eirlys was yet to have personally received. She flicks an ear. The stallion, she establishes, can be trusted — an acknowledged trait of the guy for which she is thankful for. But it is still a mystery why he had bothered to come speak alongside her. As far as Eirlys has been concerned, hardly any horse these days even cared to, at the very least, consider her bare existence. Lost in the thought, entranced, the mares next words waterfall out with absentminded regard.
”It’s the only place left I have to go, these lands.” Her eyes stare vacantly into those of the male’s reptilian partner as she admits it. Maybe if her mind were fully fixed on the exchange at hand, she wouldn’t have spoken any of it.
Again, regret.
At her own self. Because Eirlys was no good horse. She didn’t think so, certainly. Maybe it was just a part of her age, as her grandmother had always liked to say. Or maybe everything that had happened to her truly had been for a cause.
She continues on, and this time her orbs have met with the man’s once more. ”I ditched my family. Or rather, they ditched me.” Is it a sob story, absolutely it is. Yes. And a rather pathetic one with that. But it is the simple, straightforward truth. Eirlys was a blunt woman, anyway. What regard should she hold for any horse, now. The world was no longer a place deserving of her sympathy.
”Yourself? You seem an.... intriguing individual..” She smirks, lips moist with the tears she had been only moments ago letting free. Her eyes strive to match the body-skimming gaze she’d noticed him give.
