The solid, frozen lake. Her earthtone eyes were fixed on the sheet of ice, pondering the thickness for a moment or two before she began to study it. She’d been travelling for days, only coming upon this land early in the morning when the sun was barely risen into the sky and darkness was still trying to hold tightly to the land. Although the snow beneath her hooves was a suitable source of water, she longed for just a little taste of flowing, real water. Not packed, chilly snow or solid, tooth-breaking ice. She wouldn’t have minded the temperature, even if it froze her throat on the way down or turned her insides into frozen pieces of meat. She’d been walking for a long, long while and she wanted a drink.
Needless to say, it had to be a bit comical to watch the fawn-colored mare approach the edge of the frozen water, her hooves dancing against the slight slope of the solid ground surrounding the body of water. Steadying herself a bit, she paused; poised, gathering a bit of energy for her next trick. Quickly did one of her forelimbs lash out, pawing the ice to maybe break it and open up a small hole where flowing water resided beneath. Then she could get herself a drink, and then worry about her real situation – she was unsure of where she was. But alas, her grand plan backfired; her hoof rebounded off the ice, barely making a dent in the thick sheet of frozen lake water. Obviously annoyed, she backed up hastily and shook her head to and fro in a fit of agitation. "Stupid ice," she muttered to herself, snorting angrily at the lake before she whirled about away from the lake. Slightly embarrassed at her foolish spectacle, not to mention she was probably a source of entertainment to some nearby spectators, she headed a bit of a ways away into a little more of a secluded area.
"Guess this’ll have to do for now," she uttered again, her maw lowered to the ground as she started to nibble on the snow. She also tried nosing some of it about, piling it up and exposing the frozen grass beneath it. Maybe she could pick at that a little too, to satiate that subtle growl in her tummy.
