546 words/ And Luna makes the first move (sorry for the crappy post, but i am a bit sleepy now, i'll correct it later)XD. Bad horsie! Dun bite mah eers!! mah bootiful eers!!
Under the dim moonlight, the dark faced female observed how the man's dexter hands carved the leather, surrounded by a deep silence. The dexterity with which the stranger worked in the moonlight surprised her. She was barely able to make out the details of the closest tree -which was less than five feet away from her- but he worked as if he was at broad daylight.
After Luna mentioned the word 'beautiful', something changed, because the craftsman took another tool and began to carve strange lines in the horse's body. At the beginning she frowned out of confusion, but then she realized that those were injuries, scars. How could he do such a thing to such a beautiful body? but the animal didn't look in pain. In fact, it looked happy, trotting forever in it's simple universe. Maybe those scars were old. Maybe it didn't feel pain anymore.
Scars. This word made the female's attention to focus on the bald man's face again, after he left his tools aside after a few minutes of not doing anything but draw details on the piece of hide. The man's face was uncovered, and Luna could see, with certain difficulty that his skin offered an uncommon view, appearing like it would break at any moment. However, that didn't cause any negative feeling in the woman's body. In the contrary, she wanted to help. But her thoughts were interrupted by Kali's words. "Look..."
"Wha-?" The female managed to mumble before the sound of heavy steps rang on her ears and a big figure appeared right beside the craftsman, grabbing one of his hairless ears and nibbling it, earning a dismissing gesture by him. Seeing as it wasn't welcomed there, the figure turned towards the green eyed woman, who stared at the figure atonished. As it came closer, Luna could pint out more details from said shadow, finding the resemblance between it and the image in the artist's work. "S-so, you are a ho-horse." She said, feeling a bit nervous at the presence of the enormous creature. Her ears perked backwards, a signal of uneasyness, and her tail tried to hide under the space between her legs, only managing to stick to her side under her tight under her skirt. Slowly, yet carefully, she reached out a hand to touch the animal, feeling how she made contact with it. Her first time touching a horse.
But this strangely magical moments was interrupted by a groan, orat least that was what Luna heard. She wondered why didn't he used normal speech. Maybe he didn't know how to or he wasn't able to. "I'm sure that he can't talk." The ghost said recklessly, staring intently at the man's covered figure. Luna turned her head towards him as well, her ears perking up again, moving all her attention towards the male, who had already hidden his features under his hood. The horse beside her had been shoved to another corner of the woman's mind by then.
"What happened to you?" Luna said, pointing towards the man's face with her fingers slightly curved downwards, trying to appear the less rude that she could. Her dark fingers moved slowly forward, aiming for the hoom. Her movements were hesitant, silently asking for his permission to touch him.
