[Connor's tone is calm but businesslike. Again, he doesn't really seem interested in smalltalk.]

Several weeks ago, when we had the unseasonable snowfall, I encountered an animal in the woods I had not seen before. Since the castle has changed itself, there have been new animals in the land surrounding it, so that in itself is not unusual. But this animal was quite tame, but fled as soon as I came within a certain distance of the castle itself.

I am wondering if perhaps anyone has lost this animal. It was horselike but not a horse, with a great horn in the centre of its head and cloven hooves. I believe it is used in Scottish heraldry, if that means anything to you; it has been some time since I learned of such things, but I seem to remember it being so.

And also, I wonder if anyone else has seen this animal, or perhaps more of them. If it is simply a wild thing, I will leave it be. But if it belongs to someone, I will do what I can to help return it to the stables.

Thank you.

...Are you talking about a unicorn? There's a unicorn here?

Well, they don't have cloven hooves where I come from, but the rest fits. They're a race of ponies, in Equestria, they can use magic.

...Oh.

So they were like the weird horses in the horse prison? The ones that just kinda...stare and sometimes neigh.

A unicorn! [A chuckle.] But perhaps not –– you know I have heard that they look more like elephants than horses in reality, so perhaps this is something different.

[Looks like others have the unicorn part covered, but...]

It approached you?

Ah. That's a little surprising.

[Crap, she probably shouldn't have said that.]
givetheslip: (bloodlines > explain)

[personal profile] givetheslip 2014-07-14 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
That's not why...

[Okay, no. Changing course.]

I think it very likely it is simply a native creature to this land.

By all descriptions you seem to have found yourself a unicorn. Mythological creatures, symbols of purity, legends tell they could only be captured by a virgin.

[personal profile] clever_girl 2014-07-10 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. Purity, naivete, chastity.

[At least, as far as she knew from her own world mythos. She's not going to mention that she's used to them not actually existing, because she's learning the reality of this particular world works a little differently.]

I don't make the rules.


Have you had any luck in your other endeavors relating to the creature?

I believe... I believe you just described a unicorn, Connor...

[ For a moment he and almost though it Yfandes, but she had no horn and no cloven hooves, though she was almost unnaturally white and horselike, but not really a horse. ]

Well, in my world, it is a myth. It is not real. It is a creature of stories and little more.

No, I suppose not. I have actually met an "alicorn", but I suppose it is different when one things of them as being wild creatures and not residents.
