Thick skin and an elastic heart

For a moment she had pretty much convinced herself that she had imagined it, but just as she was about to turn back toward the water she heard the sound of paws against the sand again and she saw a pale form growing closer through the darkness. She tensed up a bit, but she didn't run off just yet. It was a male that was quite a bit bigger than herself, as tall as Regulus even. He seemed to keep his distance, leaving several feet between them. She tried not to stare since that was rude so instead she turned her pink-hued gaze back toward the water in front of them. She just glanced toward him out of the corner of her eye instead as she took another few laps of water. The scars across his shoulder were easily visible in the moonlight and they got her attention, making her look toward him again. If the saying that curiosity killed the cat was true she would probably be the embodiment of it. Of course she had no reason to assume any ill intent from him, but her older brother's warnings and directions still made her wary. "Hello," she said politely as she turned more to face him, taking a couple of steps closer and offering him a small smile. "Sorry to bother you. I'm Baine. I was just wondering how you got such big scars like that." |
