She was adorable. That's all he could think. It had been quite a while since he had seen any of his kind, and he was glad it was her. Not simply because she was a female, but because she was pretty. He would shake his head for a brief second, long mane flaring slightly as it fell against his neck once more, hiding the long ridden battle scars from days of old. "No need to be shy, I really do think your name is pretty." He would reassure her, for it was not everyday he met someone with a name quite as fetching as hers. In fact, he was sure he had never met anyone with that name. They all carried plain and ordinary names. Max, Bella, Evan. All ordinary to him. "It is a pleasure to meet you as well, and honestly...I was beginning to think the same thing. But tonight it seems, has proved me wrong." His frame would shudder slightly from the light hearted laughter that brewed within his chest. Even for someone of his personality, he couldn't help but be in a good mood, despite his weariness. He was just happy that he wasn't the last horse on earth! The beast did not miss the way she looked at him, her blue gaze catching the rays of the moon and the glittering stars, appearing as if her eyes themselves carried the sky within them. His own pale blue eyes couldn't reflect the sky like hers did, though he supposed he was glad for that. It might've made them both stand there the entire night just staring at each other like starstruck teenagers! He almost would comment on the thought, however, thought better of it. They had only just met after all, but was there really such a thing as love at first sight? Perhaps so. Perhaps tonight would prove such a ridiculous sounding thing. Who knew, fates liked to toy with him on a constant basis. ?Follow me? You need to cool down.? Her voice pulled him from his mind, a nod willing and eager as his response. He shuddered inwardly at her touch as she brushed past him, his heart jumping in his chest. He would follow the beauty, her form outlined by the light of the moon and the shadows and trees around them. He missed her peek at him, for his attention was caught on the markings upon her haunches. So she had faced a battle with a predator and won? Now wasn't that admirable...beautiful and strong-willed. They reached a place with water, to his relief, it was exactly what he needed. All too hastily, he would lean down to drink, though he did not sip as she did. He was far too thirsty, and so he took a few mouthfuls until he was content before raising his head again, a small sigh of relief escaping his nostrils as droplets dripped from his whiskers. Head lifted as she spoke to him again, and it was then his head raised proudly as he seemed to stand at a relaxed form of attention. "I have been running quite a long time, but I won't pass up an opportunity to walk with you...I've missed the company of our kind, so I will take you on your offer." |
