That morning, Genasi found herself up early - which was admittedly rare for her - and traveling back through the path she had taken days earlier headed toward the mainland from Ischia. Though she had been traveling and exploring the sprawling landscape of Beqanna that she had never seen before, Genasi felt she needed some familiarity. Being alone was foreign to her but she was starting to acclimate to it. Normally she followed the well worn path to the commons with her mother, so she remembered the pathways well. She had been wandering through the forest close to the river's edge unsure if she had the confidence to join one of the many groups of equines she passed by.
She was becoming slightly annoyed with herself, socialization just wasn't her strong suit. Genasi sighed softly to herself as she began to slip quietly into the river, letting its cool current wash away her insecurities. She waded down until she hit a deeper section of the river before plunging herself into the murky depths. As usual, she felt the comforting tickle of curious fish on her dark grulla and gold striped body, nibbling at her long fins and tail. Reveling in this comfort, her attention was drawn away after the little fish began to dart away. The sound of hooves cutting through the current made her rounded ears perk forward. She could barely see the legs cycling through the murky water above her, curious, she began to slink along the rocky floor below following the form ahead of her.
As the form disappeared to the shoreline above, Genasi slowly floated to the surface of the river and her gold eyes focused on a mare that looked not much older than herself, with gleaming scales of ivory and blue dripping with river water and large lovely wings tucked to her sides. Her voice called toward the wood, but Genasi answers in a friendly tone from behind the scaled mare. "Hello, I hope you don't mind my intrusion. I saw you swimming overhead while I was in the river and I figured I'd come introduce myself.", she says with a smile, only her head and shoulders visible from the surface. "My name is Genasi, it's nice to meet you." despite being slightly awkward, she hoped the young mare could tell she was trying her best. This was her first interaction with anyone outside of her family, so she was extremely nervous. Her fins on the edge of her gold striped jawline fluttered anxiously, but her smile and soft eyes remained.
