 This one was strange; he wondered if she needed to be approached with a lot more caution she he had given her. Was she like a threatening brach, ready to snap and come crashing down on him, or was she just a lost, limp leaf on the breeze that just annoyed him for a moment and then blew away. Nier gave a low snort. "Lye. Posion. Death. Whatever you are, it is rather strange seeing you here." he added then, "And quite, unnerving." she knew things, like some oracle. Or was it that his pain was evident? that the realm of his past had been etched in stone upon his darkening visage? "I've never met you, nor anyone like you. I would remember if we had." those sort of horses, the ones that were a few screws short of a bolt upstairs, were quite familiar if you saw them again. The winged one then caught glimpse of BrokenStar, and she was once more on the attack. He stepped forward then, he had no love lost for Lye, but he was damn sure he did not want BrokenStar overbearing and overstepping the very visible boundary he had put up. She was like a wildfire, crazed and unpredictable. "BrokenStar. There is no concern, no need for you right now." no petnames, no feeling in his voice, it was cold, numb. Lye had spooked him somewhat, her clementine eyes, they unnerved him, the way she stared at him with unnerving might, it rattled his bones right down to the marrow. "Leave now. Go skulk in the corner. I will have a chat with you later." he added with an authority then, cold, like ice. He stepped forward and aimed a nip to her haunches, ears back. This was becoming quite the habit of the black mare. First when he brought back Star, and now with this strange mare. He understood there was a matriarch territory unbalance in some mares, but this was really grating him. "Go." he nipped towards her again, a sharp clout of his teeth, snapping at the air. Then his attention was divided once more, when the dappled mare lightened the dark feeling of the atmosphere. Needless to say, he felt her presence before he saw her. It kind of unloosened a few knots in his chest. "There is no need for such democratic behaviour. This is my herd and no kingdom." he cast a glare to BrokenStar and then back to Star. "She's a stranger, yes. Lye. I have no wish for her being here --" he paused and watched Lye then, her unvarying gaze almost consuming him. he sharply snapped his tail behind him and stepped nearer her. "But I cannot cast her out." he didn't know why, any other he would have no problem with running out of his land, but this one, her orange eyes, her haunting words. She spooked him and he was certain it did not go unnoticed. "I want to know something. You seem to know, to know things about me. What is it with you, a gift, or a mere guess that's landed the mark?" he asked, but she then started a song of sorts. Her words were cool, like the lull of the sea breaking the sand, but there was a haunting presence, one he could not shake. He took a step near his beacon of light, then, and wondered if it was a weakness in him now. His darkness looming, he needed a candle to be held for him. He did not answer her back-handed comments. She knew things, she knew things. That he had suffered at death's clutches, that he had dealt the hand himself. Then something clicked within him, but as he was about to say it, she was gone. He turned to BrokenStar, then to the dappled mare beside him. "Strangely unnerving. She was like a bringer of bad news." he then was reminded of memories, a long list of family members, how his mother had known, he was unsure. But he had sisters, he had a grandmother with a bad streak, a taste for blood, and he had a great-grandmother that was blind, deaf. And it was his great grandmother that he guessed was a steady relation to Lye. "I do believe, that is what you call family issues." |
