Ardia clipped along a worn dirt track along the side of a field, before wandering out onto the grass. It was sodden under her hooves, and she kept her tail up a little to stop the ends from becoming wet. She shook her mane, looking up into the sky as birds wheeled across it. The sun was fairly warm, but the air still held the cold and her breath was visible. She nosed the grass, clipping a mouthful and chewing on it, just standing, enjoying the afternoon.

This patch of grass is so tall... it nearly covers 3/5ths of my body! She thought giving a nicker, a butterfly landed ontop of her nose as she lifted it into the air. The reds and golds of its wings shimmered almost translucent as the sun hit it. Snorting she gave it the up draft it needed to once again take to the sky, as free as a bird. Her cloven hooves sank every now and then as she walked through the muddy portions of the high grasslands. Every once and a while one of the would get stuck, when she would use her strength and hoist herself out of the trap.

Everything was fine for a while, the grassline seemed to decrease... but the filly still was hidden. Finally pushing her luck she found her front right hoof sinking in the wet soil. Yanking as hard as she could she nearly stumbled backwards, if she yanked any harder she might of just as well tor the limb off! Neferti let out a silent plee for her, and looked around.

Sayuri_Nitta
Ardia wandered slowly along, occasionally snatching up a mouthful of the wet grass. She skirted boggy sections of the field as she went, her ears turning as she moved. After a while she was sure she could hear some sort of distress call, and she hurried more now, coming across the patterned filly.
'Are you okay?' she asked.

lilwerewolfgirl
The young soquili's eyes lightened softly as someone came. She hadnt seen her before.. maybe she came from behind? Or perhaps she could teleport... the female thought way too much. "Noo im stuck and cant seem to get out!" She tossed head head around wildly trying to remove her hoof. Her horn was zooming around like a dagger, if she hurt someone with it... it was completly unintentional.

Cihiru
This was one of those days where the stallion's more inherant nature resurfaced; a day where the afternoon was his morning. Loki gave a broad, tired yawn, and made a weak attempt to shake the disobediance from his mane. Always obstinate, it remained dishelved in his eyes as he squinted to peer at the surrounding foliage. Beams of light spilled through the forest canopy, blotching the leafy ground beneath it, while a too-alert chorus chimed through the humid air. That was his sign the world was up and around, and perhaps it was just about time he joined them.

Having stretched the lingering drowsiness from his relunctant limbs, he headed off on the day's journey with that resolution. It was a voyage he allowed his hooves to lead, taking him wherever it was they willed. And today, it would seem they thirsted for adventure, for they headed off in a direction he'd never bothered to explore.

A direction that soon proved very... soggy. He found himself wondering what in the world had possessed him to travel there, but a distraught cry forbid him from dwelling on it. Loki's ears twitched as they guaged the direction it had come from, and before long his hooves were following, pulling him near the source. As the filly (and mare, he noticed) drew into view, he huffed a low, required neigh to announce his presence, and strode to their side just in time to hear her explain her situation. "Calm yourself, for starters."

Sayuri_Nitta
Ardia shifted, trying not to let her own hooves sink into the grasping mud.
'It's okay,' she soothed, trying to avoid the needle point of the horn. She looked as hoofsteps announced another's presence, an imposing stallion. She ducked her head in greeting, then looked back at the filly.
'He's right, if you struggle its worse,' she said, keeping her voice calm so that hopefully the filly would calm as well.

lilwerewolfgirl
"How would calming down get rid of my situation!?" She said whining like a nieve child would. She continued to struggle a bit more, that was until her hoof sank even deeper. Without the balance of her 4 hooves her body thretened to topple over, if she did... you the hoof go with her or snap out of place? ._.; Realizing this the filly took some deep breaths. At first she didnt realize there was another soquili around her, this one was male.

One deep breath after the other she patiently tried to calm herself down. Her heart still raced... she didnt like the feeling of being trapped. "What.. do i do?" She asked the elders with pleading eyes.

Cihiru
Loki did not return the polite greeting; not right then, anyway. The filly's panic overwrote any other intentions he might have held at that moment. "It won't, but clear thoughts generally help." The stallion invited himself closer yet, bringing his large form to the filly's side. "Hold still. Thrashing around will make you sink." This was something he'd learned the hard way. The thought nearly made him grimace. But what had he done, back then?...

Oh, right. As the 'lightbulb' flashed inside his mind, Loki ducked his head to more carefully observe the problem. And after he deemed it safe to do so, he rose one pale hoof and pawed gently at the mushy earth around her limb. "Can you pull free, now?" The point near her hoof, at least, was noticably thinned out, with small trenches where he'd dug the mud away.

Sayuri_Nitta
The foal was panicking too much, Ardia could see. She thought, trying to come to an idea that would help.
'Go carefully,' she said to the filly.
'Pull a hoof out one at a time,' she hovered, blowing air through her nose in worry.
'I could get a tree branch, something for you to grip with your teeth and pull the other end to help if need be,' she suggested.

lilwerewolfgirl
She didnt mind the other comming so close, she wasnt that closterphobic. She watched ever so curiously as he pawed away at the mud. The indentation grew deeper and deeper, she tried to heeve her leg out but it was still pretty deep in there. "Still too deep" >_< " Looking towards the female she gave a nod. "That might help~"

Sayuri_Nitta
(( Kk ))
'I'll be as quick as I can,' Ardia promised before cantering away towards the distant treeline. As she approached the stand of trees she slowed, casting about for broken branches that might be of use. She kicked about the rotting leaf litter, her hoof knocking against something and she kicked the leaves away, finding a good sized branch. She bent, grabbing it with her teeth and trotting off, the mulchy taste repellent to her tongue but she needed it. Back at the foals side, she stood with front legs apart, bracing herself and proferring the other end of the branch to the filly.
'Grab ob,' she managed, talking around the damp wood.

lilwerewolfgirl
She waiting a bit impatiently as she went for the branch. The duo where so nice to help her out here. ._. She felt so helpless.

Careful not to get her other hooves stuck she stayed still. Finally she came abck with the branch. Reaching her neck roward Neferti clasped the branch in her mouth, ICK! it tasted soo nasty!, and readyed herself. "Wready" SHe mumbled as well from the branch between her jaws.

Sayuri_Nitta

Ardia blinked, her ears folding back as she walked, step by step, inching backwards, teeth gripping into the branch. She thought she felt the filly moving towards her but couldnt be sure and so she just moved on, pulling back carefully, not wanting either of them to get hurt as they tugged against the mud's clinging hold.

lilwerewolfgirl
She did start to move forward slowly. As the mare tugged on her end the filly pulled on her leg. She tugged and tugged until finally with a small POP her leg was free. Not without just though, she twisted it on the way out.

Limping away from the mud-trap she settled down and shook the debree that had collected on her, spitting out the branch. "bleck!"

If it wasnt for the duo, she'd still be stuck. "Thanks you two~ Im Neferti." Her attitude changed completly as she sat, her ancle wasnt touching the ground for fear of pains.


Sayuri_Nitta

Ardia stumbled a little as the filly suddenly popped free. She dropped the branch as well, stepping away from the mushy ground and tugged up a clump of grass, chewing it slowly to rid herself of the damp wood taste.
'Ardia,' she said, shaking her mane as she swallowed the mouthful.
'Is your leg okay?' she asked, noting that she was holding it off the ground.

lilwerewolfgirl

"naw its fine.. i think i just twisted it. Itl heal fast imma quick healer~" Standing up she put most of her front weight on her uninjured leg. "Nice meeting you, i must go now..." Giving a small bow the unicorn soquili trotted off.

Cihiru
Loki had nodded briefly at the suggestion, though he continued stubbornly, pawing scoops of mud away in relative silence. It wasn't a huge help, it would seem, but it sure beat standing by staring, useless as the mare pulled the filly free. He wasn't keen on being useless. In light of that, the stallion gave a triumphant "there!" as the filly's leg pulled free.

"Don't have much to thank me for." His smile was a soft, almost embarrassed one... Fairly unusual on his features. "My name is Loki." He dipped his nose in greeting, and nodded toward Ardia as he finished. "You look a bit unsteady; do you need anything else?"... And then she excused herself, answering his inquiry without additional words. "Well then. Take care."

Sayuri_Nitta


Ardia nodded, watching the filly leave; it was after all young, and if she rested it, should heal fairly quickly. She looked at Loki, amusement on her face.
'Well, at least she'll stay away from muddy places now,' she commented, her tail swishing behind her. She started as another stallion approached as the filly left. Glancing at him she dipped her head, he was very handsome and finely coloured.

Rein_Carnation


A figure moved quite fast among the hills, his muscles moving with his entire form. Mane and tail swaying behind him, shimmering silken black as obsidian. Traveling from the northern mountains where he was staying he was staying, he decided to see what else lied out there. Perhaps even a pretty set of eyes would catch his attention. Pausing his gallop, he danced in place noticing a band of Soquili. With a toss of his head, and a gleaming smile he trotted over. "Hello there," he announced with his head held high.

Cihiru
"One can hope..." But couldn't be sure. Surely she'd have enough sense not to repeat the situation twice though, right?

And who was this stranger? "Greetings," Loki responded, adding with it a polite bow of his head. "Sorry to say hello and goodbye, but I should probably be off as well. Have a good afternoon!" The stallion flashed an apologetic smile before turning and taking off at a gallop.


Sayuri_Nitta

Ardia's tail swished again, watching Loki leave, and then she went over to the white socked stallion.
'I'm Ardia,' she said, introducing herself to this striking Soquili.

Rein_Carnation
Sheridan: Flashed a smile like non other with a wink. He bowed his head to her with modesty and grace. "Ardia" he thought to himself letting her name sink in quickly, noting her appearence as well. He loved to check out the female Soquili, made him feel quite the stallion. "Greetings Ardia... I am Sheridan." he returned the greeting with another smile. He was feeling quite energetic today as he watched her.

Sayuri_Nitta


'Hello Sheridan,' Ardia blew air through her nose, pressing it against his warm flank. It was a peculiar sensation to be appraised so frankly, and especially by such a stallion. What was she thinking? She'd just met him. She calmed her thoughts.
'It's good to meet you. I am new to these parts, are you?'

Rein_Carnation


Sheridan: Welcomed her paying attention to him, made his head even more full of happiness. He smiled once more thinking only for a precise moment. "I just came into this area not too long ago. I live more Northern with a bunch of mares. Mind you only housemates." he said with an embarrassed grin. "They only live up there where I do, seeing that I'm quite single and available." He pranced about in place thinking how gorgeous she was but thought it best not to be such a flirt, causing her to blush as he'd done previously in the past. Bad enough he was announcing he was single. Well it was the truth after all.

Sayuri_Nitta
'Oh?' she tilted her head, walking around him a little. She chuckled inwardly at his stating so quickly that he was unattached, unmated.
'So you came down here to...look for a mate?' Ardia asked sweetly, inwardly astonished at her own boldness.

Rein_Carnation
Sheridan: Watched her, her chocolate coat melting in his deep set eyes. "Looking for a mate? Hmm possibly." he mentioned with a wink. He danced again with a flick of his long tail. "Is iot wrong of me to be convinced you are quite beautiful?" he smiled and grinned still watching her wondering if he was being too much of a flirt today. But he was taken in by a Goddess' eyes and seemed to be eternally slipping in a large pit of his soul.

Sayuri_Nitta
Ardia shifted her feet, pretty much stunned right then. She kicked at the ground, looking shyly away.
'Beautiful?' she looked sidelong at him, wondering if his words were serious, or if he was talking in jest to accompany his dancing steps.

Rein_Carnation
Sheridan: Wanted to smack himself thinking quietly, You idot stop being an ego trip and be nice to her. Clearing his throat he paused his hyperness and bowed his head once more. "Do forgive me for being a flirt. I happen to do that quite much." he blew outward apoligetically.
"But I am serious when I say you are very beautiful."
His eyes shown very sincere as his words when he mentioned his little mishap to her. "I don't lie when I mean something." He stepped up closer to her blowing gently with a soft smile.

Sayuri_Nitta
'Apologies arent needed if your words were sincere,' Ardia stood very still as he came close to her and she nudged against him.
'I should say this before your attentions rob me of speech,' she smiled, inclining her neck in a graceful arch.
'I find you very handsome. But I am sure you hear that all the time,' she joked.

Rein_Carnation
Sheridan: Did beam at the sound of handsome as it came from her, sincerely at that. He was a flirt, he knew it, and perhaps that would never change. But what he did know for a fact is that she atleast accepted he was being quite serious. That made him feel quite wonderful and a little more less of an ego. "I won't lie when I say yes I've heard that before. But its an honor to hear it coming directly from you." he nodded blowing againsst her again with a subtle nudge.

Raising his head upward he noticed the silken blue mare standing in waiting for his return to the mountains. Lowering his ears and drooping his tail he sighed. "Ardia I must depart back home, but mayhaps I'll get to talk with you again sometime." he said with a playful nod to her flank.
Then with a bow, he sprinted off toward the hill where the ice mare waited paitiently to retrieve him.


Sayuri_Nitta

Ardia felt heat in her cheeks, just managing to nod as he nudged against her, his breath blowing against her pelt.
'I am sorry to see you go. I hope we can see each other soon,' she said with feeling, watching him go before clipping back across the field herself, going back the way she had came when first entering the area.
