"My father and his wench tried to kill me," she pawed at the ground and then smirked slightly. "They failed..." she yawned as she tilted her neck as it cracked the noise seemed to echo within the collar making it sound as if her neck had been broken.
"I have seen these kalonas you speak of...they do not bother me though. I didn't know I looked that much like them. My third horn should have given it away...I haven't seen a kalona with a third horn." she shook her head as she looked back to him.
"So then what do your parent's think of you then?" she wondered if his ad the same impact as hers...most likely not. But maybe they had something in common besides being half bloods.

Now Antony was really surprised. She had a horrible history with the kalona, yet she still couldn't figure out why...
No, thinking about things would just give him a headache. If nothing else, she was at least at peace with who she was, beyond a righteous indignation at being mistaken for a pure blood. Perhaps he'd feel the same way if he looked that much like a kalona...
Though to be totally honest, he hadn't paid the horn much notice, figuring it to be a standard mutation or something like that. After all, his own mother sported multiple horns, as did his brother; Ariston and Loveless both had two horns, and some could very well have none. "Actually, you'd be surprised. My mother has three horns, though I grant they don't look exactly like yours. She's got a different tail, too." As he spoke, the stallion glanced at the spade tail that she sported instead of the multi-tendrilled one that his mother and brother had; in that, she was like Ariston also.
Though her question amused him, he had to admit. "My father thinks I'm good company and enjoys having me around, though he understands the need for independence; as for my mother, as far as I'm aware the only way I've ever truly displeased her was agreeing with my father that she wanted too much from their relationship. I'm on good terms with both, though better with my father."

"Oh," she replied simply. Her head tilted, "What could she possibly ask for more? She had childeren with him, no?" she looked to him. Obviously since he was standing there before her telling her of these things. She wondered what his mom looked like now. Perhaps someday they would randomly meet and then she could be like, 'oh i've met your son.' But she some how doubted that.
"Thats good, that you have parents that like you and all. I think my mom would have...but she's dead as well as my father. Apparently it was a far complicated situation for myself at the time as I was a mere filly but...thats how things go I suppose." she shrugged lightly.
"I'm sorry if I sound stupid to you, I don't get around much. The ones I do meet make quite an impact it seems though..."

A slight smile played on Tony's lips as he replied, "Well, for starters she could ask for loyalty. But that's a thing that'll never happen, and I had to agree with Dad in his arguements why not." And now he was digressing. When did he get to the point in his life that he was willing to start elaborating on his family history to near total strangers? Obviously today, if this meeting was any indication. Honestly, he doubted it was something she was even really interested in, but at least it helped him 'test the waters' as it were.
As she spoke of her own upbringing and parental situation, the stallion managed polite attention, though he, in turn, was a bit in askance at her blase expression and tone. But really, if she admitted her father was a rapist and monster, it really wasn't that bad that he was dead, was it? Or was there some deep, unconscious bond that existed between parent and child even in dark circumstances?
Either way, it was her life, her business, and he wasn't going to cast judgement. Obviously he'd already done enough of that for one morning.
Shrugging his shoulders, he dismissed the mare's concern with a slight smile. "I'd say that we're all in danger of sounding stupid in some circumstance, so I wouldn't worry about it. Just go with the flow. As long as I know you have no plans to kill me or maim me in and anyway, I'll manage. And I'm Tony, by the way."

Truly, she was intrigued to hear others' backgrounds and stories. She loved listening to stories. It kept her interested and he mind peaked. She could remember of wanting to butcher a stallion for being ignorant but then it turned out her told tales of wars of soquili and such and it made her lose the train of thought. Though it could be percieved as short attention span it wasn't. Why kill someone who tells great stories was hers.
She didn't say anything after, for it seemed he wanted to drop the topic so she let him.
"Well you haven't given me reason to kill or maim you." she grinned playfully. "Pandora." the female truly was a child in an adult body. But she couldn't help it. She was never taught the rules so she went on her own. And half the time it was her way or the high way which could lead to a rather grim ending for some.

So she didn't feel inclined to maim him yet, eh? So far so good, then, and hopefully it'd stay that way. Though to be totally honest, Tony literally didn't know what he could expect from this mare. One moment she was defensive, the next she was teasing...it was almost like she was unbalanced. Gods he hoped she wasn't, that he'd merely caught her at a bad moment; having one unstable kalona to deal with, he didn't relish the idea of adding another.
But that was an uncharitable thought, wasn't it?
So, deciding to give the benefit of the doubt, he shelved those unkind thoughts and moved on, giving the mare a nod. "Pandora. Gotcha. So, Pandora, what brings you out to these parts? I don't recall seeing you before, even to avoid, so I'm guessing you're itinerant?"

She was indeed unbalanced but balanced. It was a rather complicated situation. She had two sides to her, two dominant split personalities. Ares truely understood for he had encountered both sides. However her 'nicer' and more civil side reigned in the day where her gruesome homicidal side took over in the night. Though she had her occasional slip ups with severe emotions.
"I haven't seen you either," she replied. "Tis a shame."..her eyes drifted to a few leaves blowing past back to him. She seemed to have an attention disorder as well. She couldn't concentrate being in one place at once and doing one thing...she had to do multiple to stop from being insane. "Yes I am...I venture a lot....and yourself?"

This was a most unsettling conversation, made moreso by the fact he honestly didn't know how to read this mare. His mother was often a bit wacky, but he'd grown up around her and knew how to interpret her behavior. With Pandora...
Well, it might just be that she was testing him. THAT was a common enough kalona behavior, and as long as it stayed small, he'd be fine. No sense in making things out to be worse than they were, right?
So he nodded his head slightly in agreement as she asked whether he was a wanderer. "More or less, I just happen to be 'centralized' around this region. That's why you're a novelty, if you dont' mind my using the term. I guess we've managed to wander in opposite directions."

In her terms, this was a normal decent conversation. Perhaps one she would have with Ares though there conversation would have gotten more in depth. Way more in depth...silly stallion he was. She looked to him with the tilt of her head. So he was from these parts. Hey, if the conversation went well enough she knew where to find him.
She looked to him, "Novelty?" she questioned. She hadn't been called a novelty before. She wondered what it meant. Her vocabulary was rather limited, more adjectives wise since she didn't talk to many often and wasn't exactly raised by another to teach her these things. Her mother was only around for so long. It made her heart ache for her mother. She wondered how different things would be if she were here.

"Something unsual? Break from the routine? I won't say thatI've never seen a kalona or half kalona before because I'd obviously be lying, but I've never seen you, therefore you're a novelty." Antony couldn't claim to know everyone in the woods by sight, of course, but he certainly had met his fair share of others over his years roaming. However, not even his mother lived around here; aside of himself, there were really no other kalonas in the immeadiate area. Pandora aside, obviously.
"But anyway, I'm sure that that's all very flattering." Totally sarcasticly, of course, though Tony was grinning as he said it. Who wouldn't want to be called a novelty, after all? Just the majority of Soquili-kind, but beyond that... "So, since we've hashed that topic to death, how about we move on?" Though to what, he wasn't sure. This meeting had yet to make it past the awkward stage, at least in his opinion; paranoia will do that to a stallion!
