Alyssum stretched out her black-tinged limbs, maximizing the area that could capture the warmth offered by the winter sun. Combined with her runs, she had found this to be the only way to keep up her body temperature, but it wasn't necessarily an activity she enjoyed. She'd much rather be active, either exploring new areas or just checking on the old - anything'd be better than lazing about like... like a sun-bathing turtle on a log!
With this in mind she huffed, plunging a hoof into the glistening snow. She would be glad when the cold disappeared, when the green grass and blooming trees of her youth reclaimed their natural place. But she just had to wait... just had to wait. It already seemed like the world around her was beginning to change once more, the days becoming just a bit longer, the sun just a bit brighter... and she loved it.
Sufficiently warmed, her violet eyes began to scan the surrounding area for anything of interest. She was itching for an adventure!
