Zaquar | Early Summer
Haywire chuckled to himself at the mare's name for him. Two heads. It was probably one of the nicest names someone else had given him. Most preferred calling him "Monstrous" or "Demon" or "Sickly." He could live with being called Two Heads. For as tough the mare tried to appear, she really didn't have a mean bone in her body did she?
Once the rainbow mare began addressing his teasing at the boringness of this place, his ears shot forward with a wicked grin beginning to form on the face of the flesh head. There was a plan beginning to form. Maybe he could convince this mare to stick around with him a bit longer. He quite enjoyed her company and wouldn't mind having it for a while longer. Who knows, maybe he would grow on her and she might be interested in --- His flesh head glared daggers at his skull head. It always had to be the skull head taking a little bit of fun and turning it into a different kind of fun. Anyway, it would be great if maybe he could have her company for a little while.
Haywire's skull head avoided eye contact with his flesh head and looked out at the trees while his flesh head replied, "I don't possibly see how anything here could hold any kind of treasure. The swamp has all kinds of trees too, but it also has all kinds of hiding places and lots of random spaces. It's a place filled to the brim with all kinds of things including some treasures. Here, however, doesn't look like there would be a single treasure to be found." Haywire walked a little bit away from the mare, looking her up and down with such a look that it would make anyone's blood boil. "I doubt you would be up to showing me all of these supposed treasures and adventures, Love?" he said with an undertone of questioning and challenging her. He wanted her to take the bait. He had a feeling she was going to fight it, but also knew that she was intrigued by him.
He turned back around to face her. He watched her silently, awaiting her response. While he would be fine with her deciding to leave him, there was a strong part of him that wanted her to stay a bit longer. She was the first quirlicorn who actually kept a conversation with him, most would have run by now. While she has some fear, some disgust, that isn't preventing her from talking to him. It was touching really.
