Thal is grateful for the cool environment near the river, providing some solace from pesky flies and gnats. She paces in small circles in the water, thick mane and tail floating along behind her. She curls her slender neck, dipping her muzzle into the water, and takes a long drink. Before she pulls her head back up, she blows into the water, sending an army of bubbles up from the water. She giggles at herself, feeling like a filly again, but she just had to do it once. She may be 'too old' for it, but it was fun, nonetheless.
Thal's nostrils flare as she inhales the scent of a newcomer, turning her head towards the smell, and spotting movement at the treeline she watches as a bay roan stallion emerges from the leafy canopy. She doesn't stare, as he approaches the bank opposite of the one she is closest to, but she turns her head to get a better look at him when he speaks. He is handsome, flashy gold streaks in his mane and tail, striking roan markings, similar to hers. He nickers softly as he enters the water. But of course, he had to open his mouth. She snorts. "Where'd you get your pick up lines? If I were you, I'd return them." But the smile that graced her lips and her gleaming eyes gave away the fact that she was amused. She swims towards him until they are only a few feet apart. Thal's smile widens at his expressed concern. "You saw that? Lovely." Sarcasm tinges her voice. "I'm fine. It's just a bruise." She shivers a bit as a breeze chills her dampened coat. "I'm Thalassa, by the way. Most call me Thal."
