{you remind me of the babe}
{{X}}Voudou pulled as hard as she could as the mud dried into clumps of dirt beneath her feet. She pulled, her leg inching out little by little, until her hoof was finally freed, throwing a spray of sandy dirt into the air. Aha, now she could leave, put this place behind her and never have to look back an- holy mother of god did that hurt. Just resting her hoof on the ground without putting weight on it had sent a shot of pain through her leg strong enough that even Voudou gasped, unamused with her new problem. No bones had been broken, and the friesian imagined that it had much more to do with the fall twisting her leg in a funny way, and then being aggravated more by the pulling. She just couldn't catch a break could she?
{{X}}Serves you right you stuck up princess her mind's voice nagged. Of course the mare brushed this off, not eager to argue with herself when she had to focus on finding a way to walk that wouldn't permanently cripple her. For now, she settled with gently and slowly cocking that foot and resting. Her dark orbs were focused on the now-dirt at her feet, and a soft "thank you" was uttered from her lips. It wasn't directed at either of them in particular, but they could take it as they wished.
{{X}}Now that the initial shock of the pain was gone, now subsiding into a constant throbbing, Voudou was getting cold. That awful tingle was starting to itch at her skin as her soaking pelt transitioned into damp, and a strong shiver ran down her entire bodice all at once. All that work to take a good bath in the sunshine and now she was covered in mud anyway, half of her body caked in the stuff, and her legs all covered thoroughly up to her knees.
{{X}}"So, on the off chance that I'm not actually able to leave, I need somewhere to take a nap. Any ideas?"
{{X}}All of a sudden the dark cruelty had melted away from her voice, and her tone held no hints of sarcasm or pain. Perhaps if she kept them confused enough they would just accept it and help her out without making fun of her. Though honestly, as much as she tried Voudou was finding it hard to hold onto that anger, it was washing away from her almost as quickly as it had arrived. The charcoal mare found it funny that she understood most things in the world except herself.
