Lydia entered the narrow path first, making sure that the jumpy mare was behind her. She, in fact, thought of this mare as an interesting specimen; how could she be so excited all of time? It must eventually get old! But when...?
"Are you always this... enthusiastic?" Lydia asked coldly, ducking under a low-hanging branch. "Surely you've got to have some other emotions... not trying to be rude or anything." She wasn't trying to be rude, but this mare was just so... interesting! Odd!

Niz slowed once nearing the entrance, and fell into pace behind Lyddie, looking about them curiously with her ears perked. This was so cool! Her ear flicked and she looked ahead at Lydia, her head tilting slightly. "Hmm? Oh! Yes, I suppose so. Other emotions? Of course, I have lots! Curious and intrigued and happy..." She trailed off, listing off lots of other up-beat emotions or feelings. Hey, Lyddie asked for it.

Lydia shuddered to herself. Who had given this mare caffeine? Whomever it was deserved to be mauled.
"Okay, okay, I get it," she laughed, interrupting Nizhoni. "You're not a one-emotion mare. Okay." She continured on her way through the trail, keeping a close eye on the things around her. A crackle of a stick broke not too far off, but she was completely unafraid of it; it sounded like a squirrel.

The enthusiastic mare paused a quarter of the way down her list at Lyddie's interruption, and she smiled in her bubbly way. "Okay!" An ear flicked idly when the stick broke, but she ignored it. Just a squirrel, she figured. "Hey, are we going to go all the way through the woods?" She asked, ears perked. "Or are we going to go in, explore, then come back out the way we came?"

Lydia shrugged. "It depends on what happens along the way," she said mischeviously, grinning.
She stepped delicately over a root, then squealed with excitement, lunging at the ground. "Sweetgrass!" she exclaimed, munching contentedly. "O, how I've missed thee!"

Nizie noted the root and stepped over it, but tripped on it by accident anyway. She peered behind her at the root, giving it a pouty glare, then focused on the bae mare as she lunged for a patch of grass. "Sweetgrass...?"

Lydia, with a mouth full of the sweetgrass, turned back to the other mare and said, "Iths th' greatesth sthuff everrrr!" She quickly continued gorging herself, sighing with content every few nibbles.
"Want sthome?" She bit off a few blades and pushed them towards Nizhoni. "They're deeeelicious!"

Not wanting to sound rude, Niz eagerly replied, "I'd love some!" She stepped forward, bending her head down to pluck a few of the blades up and chew them. "Ooh, this is good!"

Lydia nodded enthusiastically, stuffing the rest of the stuff into her mouth and chewing contentedly. "I've loved this since I was a foal with..."
She stopped suddenly. She was about to reveal her most feared memory; didn't want to do that now, did we? No. She swallowed her words with her sweetgrass.
"...with my friend, Ice," she finished, masking it without too much hesitation.

The curious Ichsa plucked a few more blades into her mouth before raising her muzzle to chew them, watching her new friend curiously. She could tell that Lyddie had almost said something else, but what that something else was, she had no idea. She flicked an ear idly as her companion stated a friend of hers, and she tilted her head slightly before swallowing the rest of the sweet grass. "Ooh, your friend has a pretty name!" She exclaimed, making note to possibly inquire later on as to what Lydia was about to say. But not yet.

Lydia scoffed at the other mare. "His full name is Blood and Ice. And he is the biggest jerk I have ever met," she laughed.
She trotted a few paces forward as she heard another stick break. It was starting to scare her, but she shouldn't let it show; she pretended to find another small patch of sweetgrass.

She laughed alondside the other mare. "Oh, surely he's not too big of a jerk for you to call him your friend, Lydia!" She giggled, an ear flicking as the twig snapped. She paid it no mind, however; they were in the woods. Sticks broke all the time for one reason or another. She walked up alongside Lyddie, watching her eat from the next pile of sweetgrass. "Do you know anyone that's gone in here before?"

"You get attached to the worst kind of buggers when you're lonely," Lydia said coldly, hopping over a fallen tree with ease.
"And I've never known anyone to come in here." Her voice was more welcoming, inviting now. She wasn't trying to be a jerk, but there was something deep down inside her-- she guessed from her foalhood-- that secretly had an open wound when she was around someone that was just so... happy. The open wound bothered her, aching painfully when she saw someone with nothing left to live for smiling genuinely. She was jealous. "I hear stories, of course, but I've never known anyone brave enough to step foot into the place."

The creme mare couldn't imagine calling a friend a jerk, but then again maybe Lyddie had her reasons to call him so. She still didn't understand it, though. She flicked an ear and followed the other mare over the fallen tree. "No? If no one ever comes in here, why are we in here?" She asked, ears perked forward. The fact that no one ever came in here because it might be dangerous never once appeared in her mind. Maybe people just don't know about this place? She thought. That made more sense. Why would they avoid such a place as this? It seemed lovely to her. Then again, everything did.
"Brave enough? This place seems fine to me, why would anyone need to be brave to come in here?" This was getting strange. Why would people need to brave to come in here? It didn't seem dangerous at all! Just a little dark, but that was it.

Lydia turned to her companion, a sadistic smile stretching across her now-frightening visage. "I've heard legends..." she hissed, hanging her head low and slowly closing in on Nizhoni. "Terrible stories. About death... ancient curses... poisons... and things nobody ever wants to see."
She cackled a little, closing her eyes and savoring the moment. This is what she lived for. "I don't think they're legends at all," she continued, her voice becoming a low growl. "And I intend to prove that soon... very soon..."
