Her voice threw and invisible lasso, and with a harming limp the stallion spun around. Something in his gaze is so distant, and his expression hard to read – was he unhappy, numb, water in his brain? Oh yes, I remember now. She thinks to herself. He’s strange. She’s come to realize, strange usually means interesting.
His question makes her tilt one ear back, lifting half of her mouth with a contemplative smirk. “What a silly question.” she laughs, blinking her glowing eyes up at him. “It would not be empty.” her grin pulls at both ends, a gluttonous glint in her expression as she finishes. “ I would enjoy all of Beqanna’s fruits to myself until I died fat and satiated in the warm sun. Unbothered.” She draws in a breath watching his next question form in his thoughts before he says it.
She rises from the water to take a few steps nearer to him, closing the gap to stand comfortably in front of him. His question has her thoughts drifting to memories for a few seconds. Some of her deepest scars momentarily glow with the pulse of her heart, but when she speaks again the soft light fades. She snaps back into the moment, “I have not seen anyone else, sky or water, while I’ve been off hunting the coast, and I usually don’t these days.” She suspects everyone is still around, but for whatever reason, everyone is keeping to themselves. “I wonder where it is everyone has gone to hide away from us…” she offers a mischievous grin, briefly revealing her sharp glowing kelpie teeth.
