I can feel his dismissal like a physical thing. Cruel eyes that harden for a moment, before they pass over my shadow-clad face. He was angry for a moment, and that wasn't bad. Angry at least meant I'd registered. It meant I'd made an impression. But then there was that horrible bark of a laugh, and I realized it was too little.
Conflicted, I swayed on my heels as he turned, a last remark on his tongue as he left to find bigger and better entertainment. I hoped cruelly that he would run into Balto. It felt like a trick, what he said. Very clever? My eyes narrowed, looking for sign of falsehood on his hard to discern features.
He was walking into the woods, not knowing what sort of things lived in the dark. Monsters are such a common subject these days, it sort of takes away from the fact that we've always lived with monsters. And this guy, arrogant as he is, hasn't actually done anything to me. I lift my hoof hesitantly, and take a couple steps after his retreating back.
"You ought..." I begin, barely whispering. Clearing my throat helps, and my next try is louder. "You oughta be careful. In here." I say, shrugging in a helpless way. I'm not sure what kind of specifics I can give, if any should be given at all. Just that he doesn't know. And maybe he should.
