As amber gaze met the blackness of his she could read him like an open book. His souls eye was deep, so deep. The depth of them plagued with years of hurt and turmoil. Some she was sure he had contributed to but when life was cruel it was only nature to be cruel back. As the evidence so plainly seen upon his body. The wounds deep, some fresh and seeping while others had long scarred over. Only to open again as the plates grew to consume him...
She had spoken and he listened. In confusion as he had the first time they met he searched his mind for memories. Small faint sparks of recognition brought looks of slight ease but as more memories of that meeting surfaced a frustrated look came over him again. She was sure those of the golden stallion were not memories he cared to remember. Who was this stallion anyhow? Maybe it was best not to ask questions you didn't want answers to. Frankly they mattered little to her. She did not intend to venture down the old and beaten paths...
Then there it was. His words sharp and slightly exhausted. She heard his warning and her brow furrowed. A mistake? Nothing in life was by mistake. It all had a purpose and her purpose was quite clear. Wasn't it? Her own words strengthened, "No. You can refuse my offer but you cannot say I am mistaken for giving it." Had their first meeting been coincidence or had the universe spun their paths together on purpose? She didn't believe in coincidences so surely it had been fate. So her words were forced onto him as she stood her ground. Ignoring his request for her to leave. She wasn't giving up on him as he had so clearly given up on himself...
