I'm a classy girl with intrepid taste; Joining - Brassa - 06-13-2021 @Anyone Just Brassa looking to join Summer had never really been my season. Growing up, it had been the time I worked the most and the times I could remember the worst as the days had all blurred together. It seemed that as soon as the days grew longer my body braced itself to feel exhausted, preemptively draining my energy even if I wasn't working. I could never sleep well with the warmer nights, either. I preferred to sleep in an environment cold enough that my skin prickles in protest. The summer in these lands was rather temperate, however. Still a little too warm for me to love but there was plenty of shade in the foliage and a nice breeze carrying the scents of the foothills. It did intrigue me that such diverse flora thrived here, I had to avoid stepping on cactus amid treading over the soft tropical ferns. A curious land indeed. Lost in my thoughts, I almost did not catch a soft rustling in the underbrush ahead of me. I froze momentarily, swiveling my ears forward to pinpoint the origin of the sound. The rustling grew more desperate as I stood listening to it, but it did not sound like whatever was making the noise was much larger than I mouse. I proceeded slowly towards the noise and parted the brush softly. I found a small finch nestled within the branches and leaves, busily scouring for food. Upon my intrusion, the bird turned and chirped rather aggressively at me. I snorted and continued on my path, mumbling about manners and the heat causing tension among the animals around here. As I was muttering, a salty scent washed over my tongue and I lifted my head intrigued. I could hear the babbling of a spring and a smile crawled across my lips. It had been far too long since I had a proper bath and I loved how the saltwater refreshed my skin. I jogged up to the pool, watching the soft foam curl around the surface. The clear water invited me in, so I approached it slowly with one foot going in at a time. To my surprise, the water was much color than the ambient temperature and I sighed in relief. As the water swirled around my legs, I slowly lowered the rest of my body beneath the surface, embracing the refreshing feeling of the seawater as it caressed my coat. "It really could not get any better than this." RE: I'm a classy girl with intrepid taste; Joining - Ledger - 06-13-2021 Help me out before I drown
Ledger @[Brassa] Welcome!! RE: I'm a classy girl with intrepid taste; Joining - Brassa - 06-15-2021 @[Ledger] Just wait til she finds out he is actually a stallion.... My eyes rolled over the ripples in the water lazily as I lounged in the pool. I was counting the ripples as they skirted across the surface, intrigued by how the shapes grew more deformed the further out they reached. The ones closest to me were blurred slightly by the steam rolling off of my skin from the sudden contact with the cool water. The whole moment felt more ethereal than the whole journey here. It was peaceful enough that I had gotten lost in the moment and forgotten to scan my surroundings for company. When I finally opened my eyes from my lulling off, I just barely noticed a sea of white fur. I did not quite register that it was living until the movement of the breathing caught my eye and I steeled myself. I had never encountered a beast like this before, his fur gleamed like fresh snow, and from my angle, I could see one large paw sporting even larger claws. My breath grew sharp and measured, uncertainty painting my movements as I tried to slowly wade away from the creature to better appraise it. From the corner of my eye, I watched nervously as he coasted further into the water and approached me. I turned to completely face this creature now and my alarm eased slightly as I noticed a hollowed ridge where I assumed an eye had been. At least if I had to escape I had a slight advantage over this animal who struck me as similar in stature to a bear. He was larger though and the ivory coat really threw me off. When he spoke, I jumped softly, but his tone eased my anxiety slightly. I had traveled and seen many forms of magic but none such as speaking wildlife. I grew much more intrigued by the specimen before me as he seemed to have a sense of humor and it was one that put me at ease when facing this foreign situation. "I do appreciate that, it has been a long journey and the salt water does wonders for my joints after traveling." I managed to keep my voice even and perhaps even a little lighthearted as I responded. I still not dared to move closer to this creature despite his teasing tone, I did not want to offend him or betray my lack of knowledge of the local customs quite yet. "I must say, where I come from I have not met many talking beasts, especially those with such a good taste in lounging quarters." I smiled at the end of my sentence, willing my mind to trick my body into relaxing more. To be honest, if this creature had wanted to hunt me, I assume he would have slaughtered me already so the fact that my curiosity was not overriding my adrenaline quite yet was more irritating than anything else. I wanted to learn what made this area so special that bears could be cloaked in chalky coats and speak their mind freely.
