 Her children were grown now, capable of making their own decisions, still she some times worried about them, Tian most of all.. She had become awkward.. Her wish to be more feminine was something different from the usual workings of the rough and tumbling females of the family. she wagered maybe she got this from her own father, Albert, who often acted quite the diplomatic knight when they'd play and laugh. Still the young mare was easily embarrassed and would result in hiding behind the child hood persona that had now become her mask. Sighing she shook the motherly worries aside and instead allowed herself to enjoy the day's warmth. The spring was here and she was on her way now to seek a refreshing mud hole by the near by pond.

 Illarion slouched out of the water and shook off the water. The droplets flung out into the air and cascaded down. Moving out onto the bank, he chomped down on some seaweed he'd laid to the side to dry. It was nearly done drying now, munching on it. He let his thoughts wander. Where would he go next? What lay ahead? Would he find someone willing to teach him?

She could smell the water now, moisture hung over the air thick enough to taste. Smiling, she picked up her pace. She was big for a mare, slightly bigger than an average stallion and muscularly built from her time sparing and rough housing with her father. Her hide had many scars from the battles she'd endured through the years. A mud bath now was well needed, something to soak in and just.. enjoy some free time. As she drew closer, she saw something shifting, heard the faint slosh of water. "Some one there?"

Illarion paused, lifting his head he spoke. "Yes, I was just about to enjoy fresh seaweed." He looked around to see where the voice had come from. It had been unfortunate that he had not picked more seaweed out to dry. It would be a sparse meal for two. "Would you like some?" He asked it genuinly.

She slowly came into view and shook her head lightly. " No thank you, I'm fine, I had a decent meal before I set off but please, don't let my presence stop you from enjoying your meal, I came for the mud." Easing to the muddy shore, she grinned, the green and gold leather armor creaking as she pawed at the mud to soften it up and cause a bog of sorts before laying down. "Ah... Mud.. good for the skin."

Illarion took a few bites of his seaweed as he watched her. She was graceful, a warrior. Beautiful and liquid in her movements. He admired the strength and agility she held as she walked. "Yes, the mud is quite amazing. There's some meadows not far away. Simply the most amazing thing you could ever taste there. The clover is divine."

She gave a light chuckle and nodded. "Clover is nice, though I think I've had enough for a while. I'm Merashik by the way." She smiled once more clover had been one of her favorite things to eat when she'd been with foal. For now she was enjoying the squishy mud, the feel of it as it squished under her armor and over it as she laid in it. Ripping up some near by sage brush, she used it to rub and polish the armor neatly using the mud as an abrasive substance to clean it the sage's oil would help to thwart mosquitoes from getting too near to bother her and just smelt pleasant to her.

Illarion smiled, "I'm terribly sorry. My manners dear lady. My mother raised me better. I'm Illarion, a knight in training." He bowed his head gently.
Munching another bite or two, he noticed the mare was practically bathing in the mud. Averting his eyes, he let out a little cough. "Do you often come here?" He had his eyes looking toward the sky, unwilling to move them away from it.

"Pleasure meeting you." She chuckled some at hm adverting his eyes like a gentleman she hadn't meant to embarrass him but apparently had. Standing, she shook the mud off and nodded for a moment before following his eyes to the sky. "It's one of the few muddy spots that has sage near by it."

Illarion could feel himself blushing furiously. "And you like to bathe," he coughed gently. "Bathe with sage? Is that for the scent or the medicinal purposes?"

Mera blinked a few times at his question. He'd though she was actually bathing in the mud.. Sure she scrubbed her armor off but that didn't seem like an actual bath to her giving that it had been mud and not water. "Oh.. That." She couldn't help but to chuckle. "The sage is to help keep the mosquitoes away. they don't like it it would seem.. the sand in the mud was to clean the blood off of it.."

His face twitched toward her then away quickly, "So...you're decent?" It was either that or she had blood all over her otherwise...He felt his face flush hotter. "I mean...It's okay for me to...look?"

She gave a nod with a hearty laugh. "Yes, It's safe to look.. I didn't mean to embarrass you or anything. So, you're a knight in training are you?" She circled him slowly, looking him over. He seemed strong though not well trained. "Knights these days seem to be coming out of the wood works." She smiled. "But then.. I come from what seems to be a line of them."

Illarion blushed as he turned back, "Oh good." He listened to her intently, "I've wanted to be a knight for as long as I could remember." He brightened up, "You come from a line of knights? What was it like growing up like that? Was it amazing ?"

She thought on her upbringing for a moment. " Well...it was fun for the most part.. my father and I would play and at the end of the day he'd wrap my up in his warm cloak and watch over me while he slept. When I was a foal I had more dealings with my father than my mother because she was off doing something.. I think having adventures of a sort... It wasn't till I had my own foals that she and I really got to meet." She chuckled some. She didn't begrudge her mother any for having been gone. Some how.. she'd expected it with how antsy her mother always got when she had to set still for too long. "After that mother and father had another batch of foals... Giving me a brother finally and a rather thick headed younger sister... She and I don't exactly see eye to eye but that's how families go I guess.."
