Brilliant almost flame like wings flapped gracefully in a lazy manner. The sun was high overhead glistening off the sock of rich red mane that was gently braided. Bright red eyes laid half lidded as their owner practically sun bathed while keeping herself gliding through the warm summer sky. It had seemed like ages since the last time the female had a chance to simply relax in flight. Typically she would be too preoccupied with zipping around whilst letting the thrilling rush of adrenaline rule her course. On this day however, the high heat and absentee clouds just screamed for anyone to be lackadaisical with lazy sun naps. Being the wind Soq she was, the fiery mare could not stay earthbound for longer than necessary. Which probably explains why Rae was currently napping in as much as she was flying.
A content little mewl of a sigh passed from her nose. Slowly she shifted so that she might manage to turn herself completely upside down. Once down she could only hold the pose for a moment, but the moment was just long enough to warm her belly with the sun. Just as slowly as she first shifted, she moved to right herself again. Having returned to proper flying position she stretched her legs. Perhaps a short stop for water and a quick prancing would not hurt. Her red eyes examined the ground below her looking for a lake or river to stop at. It took a moment but finally she found one. Another little sigh escaped her, only not as content. She did so hate to leave the sky.
Rae began her descent by taking her time in a swooping circular motion. It was very similar to how birds of prey would circle down and onto their food. Her steps were gentle as her hooves made contact with the sun warmed earth. The day was too perfect for her to ruin it by stomping around heavily. She stretched her wings out far before carefully curling them unto herself as she made her way closer to the water. Her wings only just settled against her as her nose tapped against the water's surface. It too was slightly warmed from the beautiful summer sun. So she dipped in a little deeper to reach the cooler water that flowed easily in the river's current. She drank heavily from that cool water quenching the thirst she had not felt until that moment. Once finished, she slowly lifted her head and shook it from side to side.
"Ah~" she breathed out feeling very hydrated. The fiery mare really needed to learn to take breaks more frequently. As a last minute decision she decided that a light swim would be nice as well. She glanced up river to see if there was a deeper body of water that may accommodate her frame for a swim.
