all of time and space, everywhere and anywhere, every star that ever was
What dark thoughts are passing through that blue head of his, she wonders. He is not quick to answer her as if considering her questions with the solemn seriousness they deserve, as the real Gale might have once done. It makes her rage swell and keeping herself calm and patient is one of the hardest battles she’s faced thus far. Finally he smiles and simply states an answer that she should have expected. She would never get any truth from the Curse, Nashua had warned her of that. It would lie and play mind games until it achieved what it wanted. But what did it want?
Perhaps that was the key to the Curses’s downfall and she feels a sudden flare of hope when he avoids that question like she had done previously. He is quick to change the subject and if he was hoping to get further beneath her skin, the topic of her stars is a good one to start with. The stars along her back shine here in the dark cool forest, glittering and glowing around her wings and haloing around her head. But she knows these are not the ones he is referring to and her swirls darken as she forces a laugh that holds no happiness in it.
Had he done something when he had brought her back? Was that why it felt like slick oil when she had tentatively touched the source of her shield? She watches the mockery of his blue stars that he pulls around him now and simply smiles as he implies a desire for a second serving. She tilts her head at him, in that same annoying way he does to her, a grim determination hardening in the core of her metallic gaze.
“Perhaps you choked on some of them after all.” She states innocently. She is momentarily quiet, considering the monster before her that wears her friends face. There must be something that the Curse cared about. But what? What could she take from him that would cause an inkling of the damage he had done by taking from so many? “Out of all the things you can do it seems silly that you would waste your efforts on something so simple as stars.” She starts on her quest of discovery, flicking the ends of her wings as if she is no longer impressed by him, the stallion that had ended her life once and could easily do so again.
