I HAVE LOVED THE STARS
too fondly to be fearful of the night
To be fair, she hadn't been paying attention . Her attention had been away from the hustle and bustle , and to keep her head down and maybe leave this place behind . To come back another day when it was likely less crowded . Maybe . Who knew . Herd life , Courts ... it's all so foreign to her and it leaves a sour taste in her mouth still , reminding her too much of the cave systems of home , only here everyone mingled and spoke to one another . There were no deities that hoarded away the females like they had in her past , or attempted to further lineage and spawn more divine touched daughters .
Only too many equines , enough to make her skin proverbially crawl .
Even so , her hooves slide on cobblestone , only to come to a halt when she nearly slams into a pair of very large front legs . The small witch backpedals rapidly , opening her mouth to apologize , only to suddenly snap it shut when he speaks instead , in a very rude way that rubs her wrong almost instantaneously .
Her nose wrinkles , and Faye tips her head back to look up at him with a repulsed expression on her visage , muzzle wrinkling all the more , as if she's smelling something rather foul . " Do you make it a habit to just stand in the middle of a path like a pile of moldy boulders ? " She snorts at him , walking around him instead and flicking her tail sharply , lifting her head up a little and then looking away as she takes on her normal gait , neck arching subtly and ears swiveling .
" Maybe next time , don't gawk at people . It's rude . " Her tone is nothing short of almost acid out of sheer annoyance , and she hardly gives him a second glance , instantly simply writing him off mentally . It didn't matter that he was literally double her height ( and then some ) . What mattered was he was rude , and she might be small , but she's not some delicate flower that takes things laying down .
Internally , there's warning bells going off , but the habit of firing her mouth off at the moment outweighs self preservation , a tactic that seems highly prevalent with her anymore . A whole fireball of energy , in one teeny tiny package .
