Down by the r i v e r bed

[→pastel]

Soft hoof beats could be heard from afar, for a lone mare was trekking on in an obvious manner. The dark canvas of night was lightening, for the sun was just now becoming a sliver over the horizon. The cool veil of midnight was gone, and so was her journeys. She wanted to end her migrating here, for the lands here seemed worthy of her existence.
Raziya always considered the sun to be like herself. It always traveled, and right when you think it'll stay in one particular spot, it vanishes, leaving only a trail of memories behind. But that- the life of a constant nomad, was to end in these lands.
Or so she wished.
Carmine tinted body, trapped in an ongoing two-beat, was soon forced into a stop as she reached a natural barrier- a river, wide and clear was laid out before her, as if beckoning the essa for a drink.
She listened to the beckoning, for the pharynx was urging her for a sip of the cooling liquid. Nape twisted down to an angle at which Razi could receive the aqua, and the mare satisfied herself with the liquid, staying in the same neck-down position for quite a while.
Retrieving her regular height, Raziya stood back up, locks tipped with the river's cool coating. Then, gathering her thoughts, the mare glanced around, green eyes darting to and 'fro, measuring out the lands before her.

Pillars aproached from another direction. Their owner snorted loudly, echoing through the woods in which he was travelling through. He came to the edge and peered out at the mare. He stepped out and dunked his head under the water, gulping down the aqua as if it was the first time he had drunk. He lifted his head and shoiok himself dry.

He looked at the mare, admiring her coat and grace.

Deep green chasms adverted their gazes from the rippling waters for a moment, to rest upon an equine standing a short distance away. Nostrils flaring as the scent filtered through her cavity, she merely watched him for a moment, her own gaze meeting his. Carmine locks flowed over her pools as she lowered her nape, glancing back to the waters.
Gathering the simple greeting in her crania, velvets parted into a bittersweet tune,
"Hallo, bronc."
The two words rang in her larynx as she stood tall once more, her neck straightening and her true stature showing.
ooc-
Sorry for the shortness, I'm feeling sort of museless D=

[unknown]

Pillara dragged the stag into the water, cooling his hot pelt since the day had begun. He looked at the mare and bowed his head. Such a beautiful voice for a mare.he said, charming as he could be. He could be an evil brute at time but he was a right charming horse when he wanted to be.

[→pastel]

Raziya smirked slightly, giving a nod in place of a bow. Ivory-dipped foreleg was maneuvered into the cool aqua as the czar spoke. Tresses flowing into the green-flecked pools of the essa, she cleared her throat, gathering a few words in reply.
"Who might you be, stag?"
She questioned, brow arching. Her lappets flexed a moment as she waited for a reaction, the light of morning casting a golden glow to her chestnut tinted frame. The inquiry was awkward for her, for she hadn't spoken to another equine for such a long time. The solitary life had taken a beating to her, and it showed through her actions, though it may not be such a great thing.

[unknown]

He smirked and dunked his head under the water. He removed it and shook his head. You may call me storm... he said, drinking from he water.

[→pastel]

Raziya watched the bronc in the aqua. It WAS a rather hot, dry morning. The xanthippe slunk into the liquid, also. Her carmine tinted coat was thoroughly drenched in a matter of moments. She loved the feel of cool water on a day such as this.
"They call me Raziya. It's a pleasure, Storm." She added, her tresses, sopping wet, casting a canopy over on one side of her face and neck. Sighing slightly, she glanced to the other, a playful smirk tugging at her velvets.
"From what land do you come?" She inquired, bitter tones continuing as she swam about.

[unknown]

Stag stopped and reared, splashing the fae. I have no home! he said. He reared and bucked, still splashing the fae with the cooling aqua.

[→pastel]

She playful smirk growing on her features, she nodded, sending a splash or two in his direction.
"Then that makes two of us." She added, green chasms darting across the river a moment. This reminded her of simpler times, many years ago when she lived in a small herd. She was merely a filly of one year, and having some fun was all she wanted.
Now, as a five year mare, it was refreshing to take a moment like this every once in a while.
Chestnut bod lunged about, the water's depth reaching her neck.

[unknown]

Dark hellion splashed about, swimming over to her and nipping her mane. He smiled and splashed about, dipping inder the water.

[→pastel]

Raziya gave a playful snort at the nip, soon turning to swim after him. She gave a soft nip aimed at his withers, and as she turned to swim away, whipcord landed on his spinal column, causing a wet THWACK sound.
Giving a grim smile, she splashed away a few yards, carmine coat dark with aqua.
"So Storm- what brought you out here on a day such as this?"
She inquired, halting her splashing a moment so her tones would carry to his auditorials.

[unknown]

Brute stopped and stared at the fae. I came down to the rier for a break, and to meet pretty faes! he siad, again falttering her. He dived under the water and swam up behind her.

[→pastel]

Raziya gave a single chuckle, one that had a slight air of disbelief. She shook her skull and began to gather a reaction.
"I just come down for a drink, considering that much of the real spring rains haven't fallen yet. Perhaps to converse sometimes." She murmured, sending a splash in his direction after her lyrics. Green-flecked eyes were sent in his direction once more, not expecting any other words on the topic.
ooc| AHH Short -smacks self-

[unknown]

Stag jumped up and splashed down heavily. He smirked and nipped her rump.

OOC: eeek! So sorry! ITS TOO SHORT!

[→pastel]

Light carmine physique reared up, aqua splashing about in random directions as she did so. Drenched tresses flew back with a toss of her skull, desperate droplets clinging to her. Sinking back down, she splashed the caesar, nipping at his crest playfully.

[unknown]

Stag laughed as he made his way to the waters edge. He shook himself to rid the stray water. He lowered himself and rolled around in the mud.

[→pastel]

Raziya watched as the caesar reached the shore. Sighing briefly, she remained in the water for a few moments, afterward wading to the edge of the river once more, and shook off her vermillion coat, Water droplets fled her body as she did so. Green-flecked occulus darted back to the river, as if wishing it a goodbye.
"Well I haven't done that for quite a while." She exclaimed, adverting her hollow gaze back to the vagabond. She navigated away from the water's edge and shook her serpentine, the tendrils still sopping wet.

[unknown]

Hession smiled. He took a deep breath of the clean air. He sighed, hoping to find some sort of scent, but he wasn't quite sure. He snorted and rolled onto his side. he snored again and watched the femme.
