Blacktail Deer Plateau Under cloud and under star

If he was overly bothered by Mal's outright gawping at him, Ramsay did well to hide it. By now he was quite used to this treatment. Somewhere deep inside he supposed it still hurt to be looked at with more revulsion than fascination, but he was careful never to let it colour his tone or his actions. Others tended to get more defensive when he acted offended, and anyway, he was only really offended when they took his appearance to mean he was mentally addled as well. When he perceived that in others, he tended to show it.

He wasn't getting that vibe from Mal, at least not yet, so he tipped his ears politely to the sides and replied, Hello. Quite the view from up here, hm? You live here alone? If Maegi and he didn't have their eyes set on their birthplace, then Ramsay might have considered this as a good second option. He had no designs on it, however, and his eyes suggested merely curiosity as he studied Mal's masked features.
