Time Changes All

Ruwin

"Hello!" The Watcher's ear twitched and his head to shift slightly in the direction of the stranger. He paused in his walk. The antlered stallion that now stood before him was quite chipper and friendly. And instantly he launched into questions. And he never introduced himself first. Wasn't that against proper manners? Then again, when did he ever cared about proper mannerisms?

He heaved an inward sigh. "Hello." he replied. Like all things, Ruwin had changed with time. At one point he would have engaged in pleasant conversation with this fellow, asking him all about his travels. But now, hardened by time, he cared little about socializing. He didn't care about why this fellow was here. As long as he wasn't trying to harm him, others, or get in his way, they could do what ever they wanted. Go where they wanted.

No kings or rulers governed these lands, everyone was free to do as they wished. As time flowed he was changed. Even now he changed. Normally he would have walked off and ignored the stranger and walked off. Though he was finding himself stopping more often then leaving these days. How things have changed. Though he was not sure he cared for this particular evolution in his personality. "They call me Watcher." He replied, his deep voice echoing off of the walls. He looked at the world about him. "Never been here before." Short and to the point as ever.
