His jaw dropped, only because he was angry at her for saying what she did. "First of all, I am a mess because I haven't gotten any beauty sleep tonight. Second, why are you calling yourself a scum of all things?! You refer to yourself as a shadow almost consistantly, and you are forgetting what beauty a shadow holds. Your beauty dominates in the night, forcing other shadows that are reflected off the moon the worship you with no comparison. You reflect a divine beauty that others probably scold you for because they are jealous. You should laugh at them, knowing you hold more beauty then they could ever produce off the moonlight."
He took a few steps closer, only to continue, "You are a shadow that I am unable to grasp hold of, for your brilliance deifies my light composure. Don't let my bright self send you away because it may be different. How can I show you that these things are true?"

Heartless didn't seem fazed by what he said. "It just depends who you're talking to. You're a kalona, regular soquili are terrified of the dark, of the things that lurk in the shadows." This was about as pessimistic Heartless would get. She knew that this was going nowhere, but for some reason, she wasn't compelled to leave. "I don't understand what you want from me. Do you want to be my friend? Is that it?"
Turning around to face him fully again, Heartless watched him approach. "Just tell me that. It's just confusing because I don't understand what you want from me. What are you to gain if I just happened to agree with you?"

"I do.. I just wish you would stop being so harsh towards everything. What is a way that I can prove that I am being truthful? Is friendship such a sin to you?" He understood that with having a heart that was so bruised with hurt, it was hard for her to look past the darkness within to acknowledge the light before her. He watched her, waiting for her next moves.
"I would gain a friend if you agree with me, Heartless. Does that at all tickle your fancy? Is that something odd to ask for?"

"I don't think that you're lying. I just want to... confirm what I was thinking." Heartless shrugged to herself. See, she knew he just wanted to be friends and nothing more, and that was completely fine with her. "Even if I don't agree, you would still be my friend?" What silly questions, she was completely dodging what she was really meaning to ask but that was also perfectly fine to her.

So, she did want more then friendship? He was starting to get that vibe, especially in the way that she was speaking. "Friendships bring the most important of relationships, beyond those are determined with time." He smiled to her gently, hoping that she understood what he meant. He wanted to get to know Heartless more, especially in a way where he didn't ruin her night.
"If searching in the darkness is what I would have to do, I guess I will have to get used to it." He chuckled playfully, and calmly brought his expression back to her. "What do you want, Heartless? I have always wondered, what are your desires?"

Heartless shrugged nonchalantly and also shrugged off any of her previous thoughts. At least she wasn't sulking anymore... But she still didn't feel totally well and that she was still vulnerable to the world around her. She still wasn't quite in a laughing mood though. "I don't know. I just want to terrorize the world, that is all I want." The mare shrugged again, pretty sure of her answer.

His head sunk again, everything he said seemed to flow right past her. He wondered if anything he had said before had stayed in her mind. "Well, at least you have a good head on your shoulders. Hopefully we can plot some kind of terrorizing together."
"I know you are probably exhausted, and I apologize again for tonight. I don't want to keep you much longer if you are tired.." As he was still talking, he walked directly in front of her and gave her a light nuzzle.
"I enjoyed getting to know you better, Heartless."

"That would be rather interesting." Heartless nodded slightly and then glanced briefly up at the moon for some odd reason. She didn't even notice him coming closer to her and then nuzzling her. Blinking rapidly, she wasn't sure how to react. What was he doing? Was this some sort of a display of affection? She didn't understand. And at that moment, she realized that there were a hell of a lot of things that she didn't understand at the moment. Why did she try so hard to seem like she knew everything? Now all of her thoughts seemed absurd.
Then she just realized that she didn't want him to go.

Her reaction was cute to him, though as he backed away, his eyes lit up from a glimpse at the moon as well. At first he was stepping backwards and still facing her, but he slowly turned around and walked in the correct direction. He paused before he left, and turned his head back towards her. "If there ever is the slightest chance you see me in the daylight, do come talk to me. I would love to see your lovely face in the eyes of the sun as well."
He walked away, wondering what was going through her mind, and hoping that his decision to walk away was the correct one.

Waiting, Heartless wasn't sure if she should stop him from leaving or not. She knew she would probably regret not stopping him, but... she wasn't sure at the moment. "Wait Ariston." Running up beside him, Heartless looked up at him. "How about we take a walk." She didn't know what else to say besides that to make an excuse to stay with him. The mare didn't want this to be the last time she ever saw him.

The strangest and most unlikely thing Ariston could have ever imagined was what Heartless did. He seriously thought she was going to walk away, and stay hidden in the shadows. But it seemed.. she wanted something else from him.
"A walk would be lovely." He said, putting on a charming smile. "I must say, I am happy that you are here next to me." It was a strange feeling, having her this close to him. Plus, the fact that she initiated it made him smile immensely.
"Any preference on where to go?"

Even Heartless surprised herself. Would the old Heartless have done the same thing? Probably not, so maybe she was beginning to make some progress. The mare nodded softly. "Likewise." She put it simply as she looked over at him. Shrugging slightly, "Nope, you pick."
For some odd reason, Heartless was feeling content now that she had bought some more time with Ariston... What an odd feeling. She really needed to start understanding herself more.

Ariston himself was making progress, he was actually caring for someone else. They were sharing a strange bond together, and it felt as nice for him as it did for her. "I pick? Well, if it was my pick I would have dragged you in the skies by now, but I know you are not a fan." Making a pouty face, he looked at her glowing eyes, and smiled at their brilliant glow.
"But, hmm I guess I must pick a direction." Looking right and left, he pondered which was looked better.
He didn't know the area well, especially since it was nightime. He would have to just go with his insticts.

Heartless couldn't help but give a slight smirk, it would be difficult for her to give a genuine smile even if she wanted to. The mare nodded and waited to see where they would head. She was pretty familiar with the territory they were in now since this was where she usually lurked. She couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking at the moment, was she acting weird or was this okay or what?
Pushing the thoughts to the back of her mind, Heartless continued to look up at Ariston.

"Lets just wander over there, getting lost is always fun." He inched forward, waiting for her to follow right next to him. He wasn't used to the fact that she was now sticking towards him, but he liked the idea of being close to her. He moved his hair to the othe side of his body so he could easily see her face from the side nearest to her.
"So, now that we are both pretty comfortable, tell me more about you, Heartless. I would be happy to open up as well." How strange, before he was chasing her, and her to him, and now they were side by side by choice.
