though her gaze lingers intensely for a minute hellebore eventually scoffs, flinging her attention back to the snow…. ”seems like you’re the one getting yourself into trouble…” she snarks. he didn’t know her. what she was capable of… she had singlehandedly ruined a family, sent her mother and sister packing…perhaps even jabari as well. she scatters another wave of snow with a dark wet hoof, waiting for a moment to hear his answer before turning her attention away. her black tipped ears flick forward with enjoyment at the motion but the satisfaction doesn’t last. the handsome grey steps closer, extending his muzzle and the small grullo flattens her ears again, more violently this time and squeals indignantly as she snaps toward his tender flesh. she doesn’t necessarily aim to actually bite him but to show him that she is the master of her own space at least. ”beauty? my sisters might be beautiful but, i guarantee i am not….” his answer is unsatisfactory, because she could never believe it to be true. at least the first part. she was small, had an unreasonably fluffy mane that never liked to lie flat, and was sturdier built than the rest of her delicate family. she did have energy though. she stands stiffly, watching him to see if he would react to her little outburst, and ever changeable, her expression morphs into a smirk as his explanation deepens. the truth, finally. her lips pull back, exposing teeth as she smiles. ”a warm body then? well you are right there…. and what happens when i say no? will you make me?” she tests him, realizing that she has likely gotten herself into trouble but she’d never admit as much. her dark eyes flutter and she softens her stiff posture, extending her small muzzle politely now, curious. |
