Welcome to Gaia! ::

Elliot glared at the mare, his muscles were straining to keep the branch at a low enough point for her to reach some apples, "ar yoo gonna get fome or whaa?! he grumbled loudly around a mouthful of branch irritated at being ignored

Elliot rolled his eyes, his jaw was starting to ache with the effort of keeping the branch so low "cos thesh onef aren bruise" he garbled, not sure if she could even understand what he was saying with the branch between his teeth, as soon as she took one he let the branch go and moved his jaw about, testing the muscles in it, opening and shutting his mouth

Elliot gave her a small smile "not really tried it before, usually i eat em off the ground if just jump and grab like this" he demonstrates how he jumps and grabs an appled, twisting a little before gravity pulls him back down so that the stalk comes away from the branch easier

Elliot glared hard at the mare, "I.....AM....NOT....A....RABBIT!" he said through gritted teeth, attempting to stay calm but no matter who said the words, the hot anger boiled inside him whenever he was called such "I happen to be a Hare" he said in a slightly less terse tone, one ear twitching the other swivelling round to pick up on sounds from the deeper trees

Elliot carried on ranting "hares are noble, fleet, clever creatures... rabbits are dumb hoppers" he said, complete conviction rang in his tone, his chest puffed out proudly as he spoke, he looked rather silly, but he didn't know that, the one ear twitching it's irritation while the other continued to swivel for sounds

Elliot noticed she was looking at his ears "something the matter?" he asked flatly before munching down on another apple nearby his feet so he didn't get her pissed all over again

Elliot stared "do what?" he asked as his ear promptly stopped twitching , instead it came to stand stright alongside the other ear, pricked and alert, he kicked the remains of the apple about under his hoof, rolling it, testing it's strength, how much pressure he would need to put on it for it to squash, this he did automiatically, without thinking about, just like the ear twitch.

Elliot wasn't a stallion to be still, annoyed or calm, some part of his had to be moving, he it a muscle twitch or the scraping of a hoof against the ground, even in his sleep he twitched. He was taken aback by her blunt statement "Er..... thanks?" he said, looking around wondering if Blood had hired her to play a trick on him or something, or maybe even that damned cat Boris, the sort of dirty trick he'd pull .. but he couldn't sense any falsness about this mare so he decided that maybe no one was playing a trick at all. he took a deep breath and that was when he rememebered where he had scented that faint scent trace before.... skinwalker... it was far too weak for this mare to be one but she had contact with one... or something.. He tilted his head and asked flatly "what are you?.... i told you that your smell made me sneeze, and i'll tell you why .... i have scars that are only just fading because of someone with a smiliar scent to what i can comeing from you" he said, his voice somwhere between a question and a threat, he was unsure himself how he felt right now, knowing this mare had contact with a skinwalker, she had to have or she wouldn't smell of one but no blood was traceable from her and that confused Elliot, he didn't like being confused.
