Kyros
He was sure her smile was meant to be pleasant, but it almost felt like she was teasing him; his heart clenched at her apparent happiness. How could anyone be happy after all that had happened? He lowered his eyes trying to hide the broken part of him. Velvet lips toyed with the silver collar laying against his breast absentmindedly. He glanced up at her as she spoke introducing herself and the owl at her hooves. He nodded unsure what to say to that. How many people had he met before? Clearly not enough to have any idea what to say.
She quickly went on, steering the conversation for him. Tension slowly oozed from his body as she spoke, laying her own troubles on the table. It soothed him somehow to see that she wasn't as happy as she had first appeared. Maybe he wasn't as alone in his depression after all. He had been to the Dragon's Throat; father had raised him on the mostly deserted island. He shied from the thought and turned his eyes towards the ocean once more. "I grew up there, after the herd split up..." His vocals died before he could say anything else.
They stood for a moment two wondering souls reminiscing on what they had lost. Her last words were a whip lashing at his side. His flinched his head turning away sharply. Black orbs slammed shut his ears flying to the sides at his pain. "So you knew of my father." His voice was barely more than a whisper she would easily miss if not listening closely. Silver sides expanded several times as deep breaths were taken. Silly child didn't realize that fire grew fat on air. Swallowing roughly he opened his ebony eyes and gazed boldly at her. "He and the rest of my family died when the portal opened." His voice caught and he cleared his throat roughly.
He stood silently his eyes trying to peer into her eyes, finding it odd and beautiful that her eyes were two colors. Suddenly felt inexplicably out of place standing next to the pretty filly. "Uh, do you want to see something interesting?" He paused for a moment to hear her response before turning his eyes to a wad of dry leaves laying on the shore. His eyes closed for a moment while he focused drawing his magic to the surface. Fire sprang to life devouring the fodder with joyous cracks and snaps. Satisfied he turned his silver dotted gaze to the golden hued lady beside him. "Pretty neat, huh? I haven't really tested it out to much, I don't want to hurt anyone with it." He glanced back at the flames making sure they weren't going to spread out. He certainly didn't want to burn this world down as well. "Do you have any magic?" His voice was a little brighter now that he had something else to focus on. Maybe being around others wasn't such a bad thing.
