Time was not of the essence. She did not know which day she had been forced into the world or even under what suns she had first taken her first steps. It was like a part of her life was missing, and in truth - it was. Her future held no children or a family, not even a husband did she picture herself with. Living from day to day, hour to hour, had stripped her of anything that resembled dreams. Her heart would never yearn after a man more than she craved silver coins and diamonds surrounded by gold. But that was not a loss she felt the pain of.
The ground felt almost cold and unforgiving underneath her bare feet, as heels pushed the soil a bit tighter together. She liked his voice, even if her senses told her that he was not one to take on lightly, but then again, he had done nothing to make her put up her guard. Sometimes the sweetest of men proved to be the most ferocious of animals, as much in bed as outside. Golden locks moved as she stepped a bit closer, so that she could more easily lift her hand and place it on his cheek. Her golden and blue eyes scanned his, as if she was searching for a reason to step away. Not after he had repeated her name, did she allow her face to change and reveal a smile, something that softened up her eyes.
"Who said I was human?"
With those words she chuckled and stepped away, pulling her hand back to the tips of her hair, where the fingers started to fiddle with the ends. Having someone suddenly change her world had not given her time to truly see where she was, but now she let herself take in the simple surroundings. For a second it did not seem like she remembered that he was there, but as soon as he spoke again, her focus was back on him. His question seemed to puzzle her a bit, almost as if he spoke in another language or just repeated a question she had already answered a second ago.
"You claimed me. Would an equine walk away from it's master once it had been sold?"
