 Karloff couldn't believe his eyes. There was another foal like him! Well, not like him... Still, she wore a costume similar to his. He wondered why she did? Was she hiding a deformity like him? Did she want to be a skinwalker too? Even in his normal dismal outlook, he was still interested. How could he not? Never had there been anybody else like him. Ever.

 Ameline blinked her pinkish red eyes rapidly. A fellow foal dressed as a skinwalker! She trotted up closer to him trying to get a better look.
His costume was far more frightening then hers. Ameline flicked her tail in curiosity and couldn't help but notice the bite marks. Those were a nice touch... unless their real? She had never seen anyone look like her. Besides the fins and tail.
"H... hi?" Ameline asked, in a timid tone.

Karloff looked at her another moment, torn between the decision to snarl or the decision to talk. Curiosity won.
"Hello," he said fiercly, not able to hide the interest in his voice. "What are you doing here?"
He noticed that she was different than him, she had fins and a tail. Her costume was a bit less frightening, kind of cutesy. That thought left a horrid taste in his mouth, but it didn't repel him enough to leave her alone. It was far too interesting, too unique to find someone like him

Noticing his tone, she drooped her tail a bit. Ameline thought of the question, What was she doing here?. Honestly she had no idea, she tended to just loose herself where ever she went. Fun adventures for her, panic and chaos for her older companion.
"I'm just exploring the area." She said softly. Squinting her eyes a bit at him, Ameline couldn't help but wonder... "What are youuuuuuu doing here?" she asked skeptically, but with a hint of humor.
The fangs on his costume were starting to frighten her again. It was a really good costume. Suddenly she felt insecure with hers. Pink... pink is not frightening. It matched Ameline's color, but it didn't make sense as a skinwalker. His however, was very skinwalker like. Why were his eyes all red? Was it apart of the costume or was it natural? She had so many questions.

Karloff was pleased, but also ashamed of himself. He'd scared her, but it was for her own good! She shouldn't be so nice to just anyone. "I'm on my own," he snorted a bit proudly. Then he realized he sounded sort of arrogant, it wasn't that. He was just...He was very interested in her. She was like him! There was no one else like that.
He really didn't want to scare her away, or disturb her. But at the same time...wouldn't it be safer for her?
"It's not safe out here," he made it sound a bit more even. "I'm...Karloff."

Ameline was confused, Isn't it bad to be out on your own when still a foal? He was definitely a tough foal though. "Your on your own? How come?". She hoped she wasn't prying. She tended to do that too much when she first meets a soquili. "I like your mask!" she smiled, trying to seem less annoying.
He was right, it isn't safe out here, but he's still out here too. Was he hiding something?
"Hello Karloff, I'm Ameline." her voice now less timid and more her own. She couldn't help her eyes kept dropping to the two puncture wounds on his neck. Did he know he was bleeding?

Karloff rubbed at his neck, wiping at the blood in a dismissive way. She was looking at it at course, they always did...Everyone he'd ever met had.
For a moment, he considered coolly how to answer her. A lie would be best. What would he say? He'd killed them. Or maybe he drove them away, but that wasn't quite a lie. She would be afraid of him if he said that, and he wasn't sure why but he didn't want that.
"They're gone," it came out of his mouth simply and without thought. Somehow, she had inspired him to tell her the truth, it'd been a long time since that had happened....
"Ameline..." It sounded smooth on his tongue, almost reassuring.

Ameline watched as he wiped the blood away. Hmm... It didn't apear that it bothered him much.
She noticed his hessitation before answering her. "Who's gone? If you don't mind me asking that is..." Ameline shuffled her front feet and lowered her tail. She really hoped she wasn't bothering him too much. In this place it was nice to have someone to talk to.
Ameline smiled when he said her name. She couldn't help but glance at the blood again. Maybe it wasn't best to pry into that. However, he could be acting tough and it really could be a bad wound. She decided to say something anyway, "Are you okay? That seems to be bleeding quite a bit."

Karloff brushed again at his neck, "It's nothing. And my family, that's what you asked." He was kind of gruff and irritated, he didn't really mean it or at least he didn't want to.
He wanted to drive her away, let her be safe from him...but he wanted her to stay. She was nice. He didn't want her to leave, but he didn't want to be responsible if she got hurt.
Images flashed in his mind again, blood...so much blood. Stench of death..Alone, so very alone....
He shook it off. Why were the memories being more painful lately? He wanted them to go away not haunt him more! He was straying from his true path too much. His search couldn't wait much longer.

"Are you sure?" She inched her muzzle closer and sniffed it. When Ameline heard him say family, her ears went back and her tail drooped. "I'm very sorry. What happened to them?"
Speaking of family, where was Moam? She had never known her family, but she quickly went under the wing of an angeni named Moam. He was liker her guardian angel.
Ameline watched as Karloff's emotion seemed to change. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to pry this deep. She certainly did not want to make him sad or upset. Smiling she nudged him, trying to wake him from this new stupor.

He came back to reality as Ameline nudged him. It was kind of shocking to him. No one was tender or friendly with him. He stood very still, unsure of how to react to this.
He decided to act like it hadn't happened. Karloff spoke, in a low flat voice. "Mother's dead, father left." The bitterness welled up in his throat again. It was like an acidic burn, his vision flashed red again.
Squeezing his eyes shut tightly, he tried to press down the burning rage. He would terrify the poor little pink thing...But did he care? He tried to tell himself that he didn't, but deep inside what was humane in him cried against it. Why terrify her? She didn't deserve it.

She watched for his reaction, hoping she hadn't overstepped her boundaries. She didn't know why but she didn't want to upset Karloff. One because he was nice, guarded and mysterious, but still. Second because he seemed like he could get angry quickly.
"I'm so, so sorry." She didn't know what to say. Karloff's emotion kept changing and it was clear that she had brought up bad memories. Hanging her head abit she whispered again, "I'm sorry I reminded you of it."
Not knowing what to do, Ameline just opted to wait there patiently watching him. Perhaps now was a good time to keep her mouth shut and just let him open up if he wants to.

Karloff's mood changed again. The red tinge had faded from sight. "It's fine," he said in a disregarding way. It wasn't really the past, but for now...for some reason, he was able to push it out of the front of his mind.
"What brings you here? It's not safe for you to be alone out here." He was concerned, what if he had become enraged and accidentally hurt her? Often, he'd dream of using his rage like that, but he'd never really done it. It was sickening, and yet....it was what he longed for when he wanted to become a Skinwalker.

"Well, I wandered away from companion to explore but now I've gotten myself a bit lost. It's alright though I'm sure he'll find me." Ameline said, with only a little worry in her tone.
She could hear the concern in his voice and couldn't help but wonder why. She realized it was an unsafe area but what really could be that bad to make the colt worried? She was a fairly tough little girl herself, "I can handle almost anything though, a lot of soquili are afraid of the color pink." She giggled at her own little joke.

The anger passed, and he felt better at her trivial joking. It was nice to hear her calm voice. gentle and soothing. Kind if a bit naive. "It is a scary colour." He smirked, it was the closest, he'd ever been to laughing.
