Written for the Game of Life Challenge - Trelawney/Firenze, pocket watch, deaf.
Firenze looked looked away from the moon as he heard a loud rustling of leaves even a deaf man could hear. Perhaps it was his hypersensitive senses, or the person who caused the rustling was simply clumsy. The mighty centaur walked over to the origin of the unsettling noise, finding a huge lump of multicolored patches of cloth stitched together to form a bizarre dress in the middle of the fallen leaves. He cocked his head to the side, looking warily as the person looked up with big eyes.
"Sybill Trelawney." Firenze stated, "What are you doing down there on top of a pile of leaves?" he held his hand down for her to help her up from her spot.
Once she was standing up and leaf-free, she looked up at him with big eyes. "I have been told by the stars above that I have lost something treasured in the Forbidden Forest yet in return, something good will come back to me." she said with an air of mystery in her tone.
"And what was that object you've lost, Sybill Trelawney?" Firenze inwardly shook his head- Humans and their petty beliefs!
"My pocket watch." Trelawney began digging around once more.
"Why are you still looking for it, Sybill Trelawney? The stars above, as you said, told you that you've lost something but the stars above didn't state that you would find that missing object. Perhaps, it was lost in here because you were destined to find the thing you would grant in here, too." Firenze slowly strode over her in order not to scare her off.
"Perhaps..." Sybill sighed, stretching up. "Although that pocket watch was so dear to me."
"I will give you something more dear, my lovely Sybill Trelawney. If only you'd let me." Firenze reached out a cautious hand to stroke her cheek. When she didn't move away, he caressed the soft skin on the side of her face.
"I..." Trelawney tried to speak, but it seemed like she was caught in a trance.
"Ssshhhh.." Firenze shook his head and a smile grew on his lips.
