    Assailant -- Year 226

    QOTY

    "But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura

    look how they shine for you

    look at the stars

    She would have smiled kindly at him if she had flesh at the moment, appreciating his curiosity and kindness. Starbry knew that such qualities could be hard to find in others and it always warmed her heart when she met someone that didn't appear to be wrecked by the atrocities that life could bring. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Kylan." She said warmly, and she meant it. It was always nice to find a friendly face.

    When he asked how she had become the way she is, she flinched unintentionally. Starbry had grown up around mostly traitless horses. Her mother was bay like she, but instead of blue points hers were magenta. She was also a telepath, but like Starbry, she rarely used it. Starbry knew that she had inherited the blue from her father, along with the mind reading and infrared vision she possessed. While she could read minds like her mother, Starbry couldn't push her thoughts into their heads like she could. He quickly voiced the intention behind the curious question and further apologized. She shook her head gently, "No need to apologize. I know Beqanna can be a wildly interesting place. I've found that out the hard way." she chuckled, aware that a talking skeleton must be quite the sight.

    "I, uh, change into a skeleton at night, it appears." she tipped her head slightly, still unsure of it herself. "I wasn't always this way. During the daytime I'm dark brown and blue. That's how I was born. A while back I was by the river and..." She then laughed, shaking her head knowing how absurd it's going to sound coming from her "and the river overflowed this wild green ooze. I guess it must have left some magic behind and now when the sun disappears, so does my flesh. I'm not sure if it's permanent or if I can control it. I haven't figured that much out." she sighed. She wasn't even sure where she would start with trying to control it. She had never even completely mastered reading minds out of fear something would go awry.

    "I was born with some special abilities, though. I can read minds, I don't do it often. Or really ever. I feel rude when I try." Occasionally she would just skim the surface of someone's thoughts, to get a feel of safety or awareness of what they might be up to. "I also have special vision. I can see differences in temperature. For instance, you are warm against the grass and to me that looks shades of orange and red versus green and blue." Starbry watched him curiously before asking "Do you have any special abilities? My mother was a telepath. She could read thoughts and speak to you in your mind. I got my mind and vision abilities from my father."
