>You are Anon current resident of Hollow Shades >You are seeking an escape today and have retired into a somewhat to small couch >The sound of krees can be heard from the window >a sound once of annoyance you now have learnt to adapt to as normal background noise >shifting in the couch you sip some mango tea a prize you snuck away some days ago >you suddenly feel uneasy, glancing across the room a noise pulling you from your rest >the skittering of hooves across the floor boards alerts you that you are not as alone as once thought. >Sighing heavily as you set down the cup carefully "I can hear you, you had might as well come out now" >The silence echoes for a few moments longer >A pair of bright green eyes cautiously peek out from across the room >You exhale in annoyance, your tea growing colder each passing moment. >At last the intruder presents themselves, venturing from the darkness into view >A foal you realize right away, face half hidden amongst a mass of pink mane that zigzagged at the tip. >You were hardly in the mood for a staring competitions and she hardly seemed forthcoming with information. "Given you have just broken in, can I help you at all?" >her ears dropped lightly and you really hoped she could speak or this was going to become awkward fast. >"I'm hungry.." she mutters avoiding your gaze >great, how could you forget your duties as a walking blood bank >Christ >You form a witting retort but at that moment she looks up at you, absurdly big emerald eyes catching the light in the room. "Fine, fine, If I let you have some will you let me be to finish my tea at least?" >She nods hurriedly, her ears perking with excitement >You open your mouth to call her over but it was unneeded as the tiny foal was already trotting over happily >She pounced onto the table beside you to your horror as she barely missed your cup of tea "Careful geez-" >"Heartbeat" "Huh?" >"I'm Heartbeat" she chimed happily "I am Anon your meal for the day" >You retort with much less enthusiasm then the small foal had >She was cute in an annoying way, a fact you would not let be known. >The foal circled the table a few times while you started to puzzle her heritage as a bat, giving closer resemblance to the feline tree > Shifting any stray hairs to the side, you crane your neck slightly wincing at the pain to come. "Alright, go for it" >"O-Okay thank you Mister Anon!" >You grit your teeth lightly, one would think you were used to this by now >No such luck. >She lunges forward, her teeth finding their mark >You feel the pinch on your already tender flesh >It stings for a moment but something is wrong >She clenches down harder to little effect >A clatter rings out in the room as her extra movement bumped the cup of tea off the table >You have little doubt the china cup is scattered into a stupid amount of pieces on the floor. >Great >Her fangs were not sharp enough to break the flesh >You now have a small bat pony clinging to your neck >That awkwardness you were worried about earlier? >Yeah you found it.
