[AW] [relic contest] when it goes down

[Venari]

 



Upon further inspection of this stranger, Venari felt a pang of panic and an instant feeling of regret regarding his actions. He recalled now that she had been among the first he had met in this world and she had not been the most friendly in demeanour. In fact, she had appeared abrasive and dismissive. 'Gone and landed yourself in it now,' he thought to himself with an internal disdain. The teal stallion halted in his tracks, still a few meters away from the vibrant, oddly formed female. Venari tilted his head a little at the lack of a gesture in greeting; perhaps he had severely misjudged this character and in his memory replaced her for another, friendlier soul. He had landed face first in the dirt on this one. 

As he twisted and twirled the regret in his mind, the mare spoke out to him in four, hostile words. "Why are you here?" He felt himself shake a little, but nothing too major. He took one small pace forwards before halting square once more, ice blue eyes firmly fixated upon the other (not through fascination, but rather through safety; he felt a violent outburst could be due for his earlier actions). Raising his head slightly and shifting his stance, Venari cleared his throat quietly to speak. "I... uh, I'm looking for something is all," of course he stammers when talking to someone of this nature. Inwardly, he cursed the rising tide of fear and averted his attention for a quick second to check the ground for the relic. 

Craning his head back to focus on her again, he passed the question back to her, but with a friendlier tone. "How about you?"
