"Maybe you haven't noticed yet, but I do not have a heart. I do not have emotions or feelings, so I cannot feel prideful about myself." Heartless was always blunt and hated others that dodged around the bush when talking about things. It was just a waste of her time to talk about trivial topics, but to her surprise, none of the topics Ariston and her had talked about were considered trivial. Very surprising...
"I mean what I said. I repay them the favor." The mare couldn't help but smirk to herself thinking about past things she had done as 'favors.'

"Of course I did not notice, from our other conversations I have plenty to debate. You may be told that you do not have a heart, but I refuse to believe it." Crazy? Maybe he was, but when his mind told him to fight against something, he never resisted. "Just like I am told many things about my Kalona heritage. Do I listen, or believe them? Of course not, I listen to myself. I have the greatest power in reality with my self, of course."
Still not understand what he meant, he lifted a brow, only because he was sort of creeped out. "Ok well.. what favor? That kind of talk sounds, menacing in a way. Of course my ears are interested to hear what you are talking about.

"I was not called Heartless by others. I named myself that, because only I can determine things about myself." Heartless paused, again, surprised that he didn't guess at how she tormented those who tormented others. "I stalk them from the shadows, whispering evil things until they believe they've gone insane. I follow them day and night until I feel that they've had enough. But of course, I let them live, knowing that I will be able to bring more torment to their life later." For the first time, Heartless let out an evil cackle. Hardly ever did she show more emotion then that, but she felt so... ecstatic about tormenting others.

So, her motives were finally revealed to him. It was strange, for he could relate. Ariston knew he was the deadliest of sins; his evil was kept secret and secure, his motives laying under his crisp and pure body. "Weaklings are so easy to pick at, aren't they? I am sure you and I have different motives for doing such tactics, though I do enjoy sucking out the isucurites of others."
Letting himself grin in a sneaky matter, he realized he enjoyed her secretive nature more than before. "I must say, I am impressed. It takes quite a lot of skill to do this, and it requires a deadly and patient mind." He found that there were many Soquili that walked around sulkingly and weakly, and they were always easy preys. "How interesting this conversation has become." He said, confidently, with a twisted smile.

"Of course. Exploiting other's weaknesses are my joy in life." Heartless shrugged at his comment. "It does not matter how it is done, just as long as it is done. I commend you for that." Tossing her mane lazily, her hair seemed oddly displaced, her braid had many a little strands that were out of place. That seemed quite odd for even Heartless.
Watching him, wow, you learn something new everyday. From what she had seen from Ariston, she had assumed that he wasn't exactly like other kalona, but now she was sure that he was. She admired him for that, and she was thinking about how she might like him even more then before. Oh how twists and surprises made life worth living for even without a heart.

The mare had puzzled him in their first encounter, but now in their second, she had shifted thoughts and seemed to be enjoying his company. He had already changed his thoughts before, for he knew he could feel comfortable around Heartless, and that she would not judge him like many others did. Thinking about it deeply, he wondered if it was the same comfort that he wouldn't judge her back as welll.
"It seems we are not so different after all, though it does amuse me how we contrast each other in appearance." As easy as dark and light, both Ariston and Heartless stood against one another in their composures. "I do wish that I could blend into the night like you do, don't get me wrong, I live for attention. Though, it would be nice to vanish sometimes."

Heartless was not aware of these complex emotions. What she knew were simple things such as happiness and depression. She probably didn't know anything else, since she had never felt like anything except perhaps giddy, because of her day's torments. "Yes, quite ironic I guess you could consider it. " The mare shrugged to herself. She was content with who she was and would probably not ask for anything else. Though she did think that having bright colors as part of her appearance would be interesting.
"Attention... is interesting. It varies between soquili on what kind of attention they give. But I really do not care. Most attention given to me are negative and my heart has grown immune to them. What would you do if your attention was negative?" She looked up at him with inquiring eyes.

"Negative attention.." He chuckled, and looked back at her. "Why, I get plenty of negative attention, daily actually. Whether it be mares that are jealous, or stallions that are jealous.. it can become quite annoying." Dramactically shrugging his shoulders, this sort of thing made him exhausted constantly. "There are so many different types of negative attention, so sometimes it can be hard to tell which is which."
The mare in front of him, because she kept saying it of course, seemed to only get negative attention. This confused Ariston, because at different parts of the night, he was giving Heartless the good kind of attention. Was she not aware? "You confuse me a bit, though I know that negative attention is all you have seen. Are you not used to positive attention? I have given you that.."

Heartless had never been envied before so she wasn't quite sure what he meant by his statements but she just shrugged and continued to listen to him. Watching him with emotionless golden eyes, Heartless didn't think about his question too much. She didn't have to think about it, because she didn't understand it. Never in her life had she received a compliment or anything, but that's probably because she never stuck around long enough to see.
"Hm. You've been giving me positive attention? I didn't know." The mare shrugged once more, not really caring too much. What did it matter, whether she got positive or negative attention? She didn't want attention at all. It just made her feel... odd. Too odd.

Its funny, how opposite they were. She shrugged off attention, while Ariston sucked it in whenever he could. How strange, he had never encountered a female who would ignore such an important thing as attention. Most females boasted constantly in such. "Well, I clearly haven't been given you negative attention, or I hope you aren't getting that impression. "
Shifting his position, he felt uncomfortable at the fact that attention wasn't important to her. "Then how do you manage to live in the shadows with attention, how is it possible? You speak of no emotion, but I think it is actually quite false.." He shrugged gently.

It was more like, she didn't understand what attention was, espcially the positive kind. She remembered being a foal and constantly being walked past when she greeted someone. It was almost like she was a ghost. And nobody cares about ghosts...
"It doesn't make any difference to me. I can't tell whether you're giving me negative or good attention but like I said, I don't really care." The mare shrugged slightly and continued to watch Ariston. "No emotion? Do you think I have emotion? I surely do not believe such a thing. I do not get frightened, I do not show affection, I do not love. Therefore, I do not possess any emotions."
She wasn't sure what to say now, so she just stood... and watched.

Ariston curved his eyebrow as she spoke and decided that he would respond to her more maturely now. "What you just stated is the most obvious knowledge on emotion that one could ever speak of. Do you really think it is as simple as that?" Atiston looked at her deeply, and moved a few steps closer. "The way you treat emotion is as if it is a simple equation. You speak of it in a robotic tone, and with that you are telling yourself false facts. It seems you shrug off anything that is not of common knowledge. "He frowned at her, showing a strange emount of concern.
"You are alive, and with that were given a mind to feel things. Right now, your mind is probably begging you to acknowledge it, and to realize that you have the ability to feel things." He turned his head, letting his hair drift messily to wherever it wished. "But you first must aknowledge that you do have a heart. You are living, corrent?" He looked back at her, with rebellious eyes.
"Doesn't it mean anything that I can see these things in you?"

She stood, umoving, as he moved closer to her. Heartless looked up at him with nothing in her eyes. What he said seemed to unmove her, but in her head, was something was beginning to tick in that empty mind of hers.
"No, I am not alive. I am the shadows that follow you, I am the terror that lurks in your heart. I am nothing." But did she really believe what she was saying? Could she even really believe in anything at all if she didn't have a heart? Everything was beginning to confuse her for the first time in her life. She didn't know what to say or how to react, she had never been put in a situation like this before and it was starting to irritate her. She did not like the feeling of not knowing everything.
She had to know everything about every aspect of the world. Heartless did not want to feel weak, but she could already feel this beginning to strain her thoughts. And his last comment. She didn't understand this last comment at all.

He shook his head fast, feeling a bit outraged at the though. "How can you say that.." He murmured, raising his bold eyes at hers. Her eye's glowing radius eliminated something else, and Ariston knew it was there. Persuading Heartless seemed like it would be impossible. He felt connected to her in some odd way, so he decided he would stick with his thoughts rather than give up. "Terror that lurks in my heart? I believe you have it completely wrong. It seems that you have a terror within your own heart."
It was a strange way to say it, but for some reason there was an internal conflict within Heartless that needed to be resolved. Knowing that Ariston himself had just recovered from an internal conflict himself, he could feel her's radiating. Her heart was there, beating and living peacefully. Maybe it just needed some confrontation from the mind.

Heartless had always thought she was immune to getting emotionally hurt. She never thought that she could feel anything. She tensed up slightly as she stood there. When she was born, the first thing she had learned was just that she was nothing. She didn't mean anything to anybody and was born by mistake. She was not meant to exist, such a monster should not exist.
"What heart?" She repeated the phrase, keeping herself convinced of it. There was no way she could have one. After all these years, it had dissolved into nothing. But her mind was on what he had said about him seeing these things within her. What was he talking about? How could he possibly know her? She did not want to admit to herself that she had opened up. No, it wasn't possible. It just wasn't possible.
