aletta has a moment when she comes into his full view, feels his eyes on her, and she struggles for her words. her query had been playful (though still curious) and when he hadn't answered right away, she felt herself grow uneasy, unsure. it was something that she wasn't familiar with for aletta had always been herself, simply asked and said the things she thought, and had no afterthoughts or regrets. but when she starts to answer him, gyps saunters in and aletta is almost smitten with her. she takes in the mares wings, her beautifully colored mane and tail, and her early secret. (it was easy to notice with the slight swell of the barrel).
the mare seems brash, she has no qualms of what she has said, and she simply drinks from the lake. aletta momentarily shifts her focus on the mare, watching and waiting for something, some type of introduction. and she gets her introduction, gyps. and then aletta catches a quick, fleeting glance of stillwater, his gaze focusing on gyps and then moving away. aletta finally lets out her lilting laughter, no longer able to keep it from bubbling over. she smiles to both of them, "ah well, flexibility seems much more enjoyable over predictability. even if it seems a bit silly." she shares a secret smile with gyps, to engage her in a little teasing.
her eyes lock back with stillwater, locking for a moment. join me in the water, he says. and feels herself struggling for a reply, a right answer (if there is one). but she lets the struggle go, and shrugs her shoulder in a friendly banter. "perhaps i might." the girl smiles (almost shyly), "simply extend the invitation next time." but there is a flicker of something in those dark eyes (something fiery, gutsy) that aletta hasn't experienced before. and she enjoys it.
