[open] and i, i will pretend it didn't hurt // any

[Skeleton Ghoul]

if i stare into the abyss, will it stare into me?

The titan's ears perk as she staggers back a bit further when he speaks, offering no reaction besides to watch with his empty, pale gaze. He doesn't close the distance or jerk, but the skin on his neck does twitch, causing a handful of his tangled alabaster mane to fall around his ears. But the filly regains some of her courage and bravely stays despite that whimper that Ghoul did hear but will not comment on, telling him what sort of horse she is looking for. Ah, of course it would be her mother. Skeleton Ghoul guessed as much -- a foal this young isn't going to be left behind for long (or at all, he would have thought), unless abandoned. He hopes it isn't a case of the second one, otherwise he'll have to bring her to Taiga and give her to one of the women there that just foaled.

Ghoul sighs, quirking a dark ear to the side. "I am afraid I haven't seen anyone of that description, Echis," he says, white eyes blinking. "But I am certain she will return for you shortly."

The filly asks about his scars. They crisscross his frame like a spiderweb, telling of battles both won and lost in his past, not that she would know that, and he certainly will not be telling her in any sort of detail. "They are scars, and they did hurt. Creatures with claws and teeth should be avoided, if my opinion is of any note. My name is Skeleton Ghoul, but ... some call me simply "Skel". And other four letter words not bearing mention."
