Blake trotted along the winding forest path the bells at the edge of her matching blanket/scarf jangling in a pleasant way with each step. In a way that sort of made you think of a court jester being summoned to the kings throne room.
The day was hot and eventually she found her way toward a a wide and slow flowing river. Giving her short gold-ish colored mane a toss she lowered her head to drink some cool clear water. Patches of sunlight that filtered down through the trees reflected off of the water and danced across her short sage green coat. She looked well traveled but far from worn out and a certain twinkle in her eyes showed that she was just waiting for the next adventure . . .or joke which ever came first.
It was in her nature to wonder and to wander far and wide. Without a care or worry she was far too used to nothing but an empty trail. Poet and her were almost to much the same connected but far too independent to be around one another for to long. There companionship was almost too distant seeming for others. . . .then when was the last time they cared about the thoughts of others?

And so miffed by this fact, he decided he should exclaim this out loud. Vary loud as a matter of fact. Almost to the point of shouting, he let out a sigh and proclaimed, "My plan has been ruined! Ruined I say!" He rolled over, sitting upright to take in the reaction of the potentially oblivious mare.

She lifted her head from her relaxing sip of water and looked over at the stallion who was making a ruckus out of this lovely yet all too hot day.
"Ruined you say? well then my work here is finished." she replied smugly as if it had been her plan all along.
"now time for some play." she added Then using her teeth she reached back and gripped the edge of her blanket/ scarf. Flinging it gracefully off her back and over a low branch so she could go for a swim. rearing up with a playfully Winny she dashed into the water with a tremendous splash.
"care to join? i mean with your plan ruined i dont imagine you have much else to do." she laughed

The stallion snorted a bit, tilting his head. A grin spread on his face after a moment. "See I knew you were just trying to ruin my plan. I could tell. Your to obvious, should try and be more sneaky next time." Alon shook out his mane and stood, repeating the gesture with the rest of his coat. "That's better." He muttered to himself. He watched the mare remove her garments and jump into the water.
"Ya know there are bitting things in that water." He moved over, looking down into the clear river. "Bugs and fish. Little buggers." He slipped into it, kicking a foot at a fish before his attention went back to the mare. "Well seeing as my plan was to make a mess of things, I suppose my plan hasn't been entirely ruined yet." He laughed.

every word he had said after fish was like static she didnt hear anything but a loud buzzing and the pounding of her own heart. Each hair on her mane stood on end as an electric tingle of fear washed over her.
"FISH!!!!!?!!!!" she exclaimed "AAAAAAHHHHHGAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
she was out of the water in a flash kicking and bucking about.
"is there any on me?!!!"
((shes really afraid of fish.))

Alon blinked at the sudden change that went over her. For a moment he could just stare stupidly at her, wondering what the heck happened to make her flip out. Then he had to decide... would he be cruel and throw a fish at her? Or play it nice and make sure she wasn't about to die of a heart attack.
Huffing a bit he pulled himself out of the water and trotted to her, moving around and inspecting. A little fish wiggled in her short tail but all her bucking flung the poor thing a good distance. He watched curiously, as it seemed to stop flopping when it hit the ground. "Was that really necessary? I mean its not like they can really hurt you. I was kidding about the biting." He blinked, looking at her again. "So what was that all about?"

Shivering in fear she side steps a few feet away from it and shakes off sending water droplets all over.
"I dont know what it is they just scare me i guess. Im okay with the dark, have stared down a few skin walkers even been lost in the desert for two days . . . but fish just-" shivers again trying not to think about it.
"Im sure your afraid of something." she added looking him over for the first time the white pattern that started on his chest reminded her of a large tree of life from legends of old. it was rather interesting and becoming.

He tilted his head and cocked a brow at her odd fear. "You can smush um. Still seems weird to be scared of them. I mean least I'm scared of reasonable things. Like being squashed by a tree." He nodded his head. Ok so it wasn't an active fear but it was still scary. "Should see me if a tree cracks. I bolt. But tree's are dangerous so its cool. Fish aren't so its odd. See the logic there?" He asked. Alone stretched a bit, his neck tensing and relaxing, making the long white branch pattern sway and move. He tilted his head a bit, looking her over again. "I mean unless you have some past childhood reason, miss. fishy lady."

now thats neat . . . she thought as she listened to him speak. She tossed her mane in a vain attempt to get her bangs out of her eyes.
"Trees falling on you? Thats a little more logical i suppose . . .but to be honest Im actually afraid of all things that live in the water Mers and Kelpies included. think about it they've got spines and poison and sharp teeth with bite that can get infected. not to mention to be near a fish you have to be in there element and im not the most efficient swimmer in the world. Dont get me wrong i stay afloat its just i cant do it as well as they can not well enough to escape i mean. As for the past I cant remember though Im pretty sure i would have blocked it out if it was too bad. However i do have nightmares about being eaten by water creatures." she replied "but id really rather not talk about it anymore." she added looking down.

He shrugged. Everyone had their demons, seems he was just unlucky enough to stumble upon this mare's little demon while just running into her for the first time. It was a bit of a kill joy. Ah well. He wanted to ask why she was in the water to start with. I mean for someone who was so scared of stuff inside the water, why would she go for a swim? It seemed odd to him. But Alon's mother had raised him right and when the mare asked to stop talking about it, he was going to do so.
"Well then that's a bit of a bummer." He muttered, trying to think of a subject to move on to. Something to pick up the mood a little. Make things more cheery and less dull. Unable to think of anything he resorted to the most basic. "I'm Alon by the way, and you are?"
