Maul had seen the Nightmare Steed around the city a few times now. It was impossible to mistake the stallion for any of its brethren given the magnificent mane and tail it had plus its sheer size. He'd become fascinated by the beast and was determined to find out more about it. However, Deerington having taught him a lesson, he figured that he should do this slowly and cautiously. After all, between those giant hooves and that lethal horn, he didn't want his first death in this place to come from being gored by a horned horse.

So he'd decided to start with a simple experiment. Tracking the horse's movements, he'd gathered up the supplies he needed. Then he put several piles of food in its path, including fruits, vegetables, bread, cooked meat, and raw meat. He wanted to see what kind of diet such a creature would eat. He waited around a corner, ready to take off if the horse saw him and charged. He waited until the Nightmare Steed came plodding down the street, looking like he was completely fearless.

Maul was so focused on the stallion that he barely noticed when someone came up from behind him. He barely glanced at the young girl, merely putting a finger to his lips. "Keep quiet. I'm trying to see what he's going to do next." The stallion was almost upon the piles of food and Maul went back to watching him intently.

"Well then, if a guard is what sounds like something you want to do, then that's what you should try! I'm sure there are plenty of places that need a big strong man to protect something!" Snow says it with the utmost seriousness.

The Nightmare Steed is just outright LAUGHING at Maul now.

Snow lightly bopped the horse on the nose with a finger.

"Now now, don't be mean. We have to support Maul with his dream!"

"Oh! How wonderful! You must be so very brave and strong!" from anyone else, those words could be considered mockery, but from Snow? They were absolutely sincere. The horse snorted at her comment but looked away when she gently gave him a look.

"In any case, I shall have to keep that in mind too! But thankfully, I don't need anything destroyed! Oh...Well, I suppose maybe the poison apple."
onebadapple: (Poison?)

"Well, then I'm sure you are! You certainly seem so to me, and we've only just met! You think he's strong and brave, don't you, dear?" she legitimately asked the horse who looked at Maul for a long moment and then turned his head. If you can't say anything nice in front of Snow White, don't say anything at all. But at least the horse had the decency not to snort.

"Someone's being shy all of a sudden," she giggled, gently patting the horse's neck.

At Maul's question, she nodded.

"Oh yes, my stepmother used it on me just before I came here. That's why I thought this was the afterlife! I was very sure I was dead!" her smile became a bit smaller. She shook her head. "It's a magic poison apple, you see. It's been months and it's still as red and pretty as the day I bit into it. Not even where I bit it is brown or turned. I had to lock it away."
onebadapple: (I can't give up my hopes and dreams)

"I'm so sorry to hear your father wasn't a very nice man," she reached out and rested a gentle hand on his arm. "Children should get to experience unconditional love from their parents," she offered. It's what she wanted, at the very least, for herself and others.

She's never HAD it, but it's what she wanted.
onebadapple: (Will you help me?)

"I'm sure she was a lovely mother," Snow tried to perpetually emulate the mother she wanted, not the mother she had.

"And that's the spirit!" she smiled. "I always remind myself that I'm the one who can fill the world with sunshine! It's gotten me through so many things, and I always manage somehow."
onebadapple: (The little things to bring us joy)

Considering everything Snow White had been through, it was less about naiveté and more about choosing to look on the bright side of things.

At the question of lunch, Snow White smiled brightly.

"Oh! That would be lovely! I can certainly take time out of my day to have lunch with a new friend!"

The Nightmare Steed seemed to be offended that Snow White was leaving and she stroked his side. "Oh now, don't worry, I'll be back tomorrow with food for you and your big brother. Aren't I always?" she giggled and pressed a kiss to the horse's nose and he seemed to be appeased.
