sober thoughts in drowning minds
With a burst of true laughter, Galileo almost choked on the water he drank. His ears flicked as he threw his head back, roaring with glee at the innocent child, who had clearly realised her mistake. "You truly had no idea, did you!?" He chuckled, turning back to face her again.
Steadily, he bent his head and the laughter subsided, so she knew he was laughing with her, not at her. He had not laughed like that -- a full, deep-from-the-belly, gut-wrenching laugh -- in a long while. "It's an easy mistake to make, lass." He offered to her kindly. "I'm just glad I didn't have to explain to you how foals were made!" Once again, he made himself chuckle, and he shook his head.
Allowing himself to settle, he rests on three hooves instead of four. He has nowhere to go, nobody to report to, and so he is free to do as he pleases. And for now, it pleases him to stay here and tease his lilac friend.
"It does seem rather empty," he agrees, glancing around to see if anyone had arrived. "Perhaps that's the attraction of it -- they come here so as not to be seen."
She speaks of balls and events and he can truly think of nothing worse, scoffing at them with a huff. "Let them have their galas and their pleasantries. I would rather be hanging by a love making creek with a pretty woman any day." It was a joke, and he hoped she took it as one, but he knew it was also a subtle flirt. Galileo had never quite been sure of himself around women he had perhaps had the opportunity to flirt with, and had preferred to leave the talking and cut to the chase.
With a smile, he puffs his chest proudly. "I am glad it was you, too. It would have been rather awkward if I had run into someone else who I know, that's for sure." Galileo was quite surprised that he had been speaking so much as he had been, because he was typically mute around strangers, and surely that was what she was? A mere stranger? But still, he felt like his soul knew hers, perhaps from a past life. Regardless, he was happy to be in her company, and hoped she felt the same.
