The mare grabbed the apple not eating it as she clasped it in her teeth. A few more trees lied near their current place. Perhaps she could finish her quest with Chepi to oversee things for her. Grabbing a second apple she placed it on the ground with the first.

Whickering she listened to Chepi's words strange but reassuring. She wondered if Chepi had learned her name from the other natives. Ice mare they called her, from the mother bearing the season winter. She tossed her head letting white silk fall over her shoulders playfully. A lot of apples to be found and plenty of time to do so.
The mare picked a few more rolling them toward Chepi's feet. Yes it was intentional as it was the greeting of the ice mare and the indian maiden. From the first winter apple that touched upon Celendria's hock it had become almost routine in doing this. She was highly amused tossing another at the girl's feet. Picking even more she rolled them one by one with a smile it seemed.

Walking on the vibrant emerald carpet that swept under her feet the ice mare treaded along thinking of all the different trees. "Apples..Apples...I must find the juiciest ones about this land." she nodded to herself quietly. Looking around her she finely noticed how close the village was immediately thinking about a certain two legger that caught her heart and attention one fateful night. She blew her breath outward watching the village from afar. Perhaps the girl would come since she had wandered this far.

Chepi rubbed her eyes once more and slipped away from the village, she felt like a walk after her blissful nap. She watched her feet as she walked, tearing through the tall grasses, she heard and soft noise and looked up. Like a dream there was the ice mare whom she had met during that fateful winter night. "Oh my! Hello there... I haven't seen much of you lately.." she said, moving towards the mare.

The soft soothing words still unknown to her were like a mother's touch in protection to the mare. Gleaming ice standing in the deep green. Though reserved she couldn't help but whicker her own greeting promptly. The two-legger was a welcoming dream that was remembered in her memories. That night in the deep snow bonded them closely than the ice mare had ever been before. Only tied to the winter whom Celendria called "Mother". Playfully she butted Chepi with her velvet muzzle noticing an apple tree not too far from where they stood. The girl was a sign of luck the mare agreed. Grunting she walked over toward the tree plucking the largest apple she could find.

Chepi laughed as the mare playfully head butted her before walking off to the apple tree. She giggled and followed after her, reaching up and plucking an apple for herself. She smiled and ran her fingers over Celendra's velvet soft blue fur as she bit into her apple. "Last I saw you, You had a healthy new foal. Where about has he gone?" she asked the mare with a pat, knowing full well she couldn't answer. "I'm glad you came to see me, at lest I hope that's why and not just for the spring apples." she added with a laugh.

The maid bit into her apple as she watched the mare with a raised eyebrow, she chuckled a bit and shook her head. "whatever are you doing?" she asked in wonderment as the icy mare began to gather the apples before her. She shook her head, she'd never understand the workings of horses. With a mouthful of apple she walked beside the mare to the other apple trees, watching as she gathered fresh apples before her. Chepi gathered her skirts together and picked up the apples gathering them together so that the mare wouldn't have to make many trips.

The ice mare went from tree to tree searching for what she needed. Even the soquili knew by sight what was tasty and what wasn't. The redest most delectable ones were the key to an excellent find. She reached for another finding an even bigger one. That was two more now which led her in the right direction. Tossing her head she dropped it with the others noticing Chepi gathering them for her. Well atleast this way they wouldn't get lost. The mare whickered happily in her own gratitude getting another apple as she rolled it towards Chepi's feet for her.

Chepi watched the mare as she noticed the high quality apples she was picking, the juicy ones well riped by the sun. She smiled and knelt to pick up the apple by her feet, plopping it into her skirt with the others. Inwardly she couldn't help but wonder why the mare would need so many apples, perhaps they where for her son? She shrugged it off and gave the mare a pat as she whickered her thanks. "No worries, I'm glad to help. "

Chepi chuckled as she gathered the apples in her skirts, counting them aloud as she piled them. "10..no wonder my skirts are growing so heavy." she said with a surprised look. And still the mare plucked apples from the trees and plopped them at her feet. She shook her head and smiled, continuing to gather them for the mare.

Celendria gathered as much as she could till she noticed Chepi had them all in a pile. Nodding her head she counted them one by one hoping she wasn't missing any. When content she stood back and whinnied in joy. She could now show that she could accomplish tasks and do them on time correctly. A rainbow scattered amongst the ground of reds, yellows, greens, and a mixture on some. She turned and looked at the girl with a tilt of her head. Why hadn't she eaten the one Celendria rolled to her? Picking another she rolled it toward Chepi in appreciation. Now to locate Halona and give her the apples. The mare grabbed the piece of skin with the apples in her mouth then trotting off with her quest complete. Turning quickly to see if Chepi would follow her.

Chepi picked up the apple with a smile and nodded her head. "Thank you." she said with a small giggle. She bit into the apple as the mare started to drag away her bounty. Curious the human followed the mare, wanting to know the true reason behind her search.

Halona looked out and seen the soquili Celendria approaching with her apples. She ran to greet her and patted her nose, "Thank you!" she replied gratefully. "Here take this you might want to use it sometime." and with that she gave the piece of buckskin to her and was gone.
