Acacia had been quite tired before the prospect of water came up. Just the idea of taking a nice, cool drink had invigorated the young mare. It had kicked her into action and taking a dip within that water had invigorated her even more. Before exiting the water, she drank her fill, glad to wash the stale taste from her mouth. Deserts were unforgiving places and she was glad to be mostly done with it. They still had to cross a bit more until they reached other lands, but she hoped that this trek would be shorter than the last. Black and white ears swiveled to catch Canyon's words. Graze and sleep. Regain their strength. She could do that. With a nod and a shake of her damp mane, the lady lowered her head and began to crop at the sparse grass and vegetation. Moving along as she grazed, Acacia came upon something interesting. A pile of little fruits lay on the ground around a tall, tree with fronds. "Canyon, look at these." Lipping one of the fruits into her mouth, the mare bit down. She frowned. There was something in the middle of the fruit. A hard pit. Working her teeth around the pit, she spit it aside. The fruit itself was interesting. It was sweet and rich. "These are pretty good." Moving further into the greenery surrounding the oasis, she found other fruits. Oranges and limes. She didn't like the green fruits, but when she cracked the orange ones open with a hoof, the inside was sweet and tart. The mare was rethinking her dislike of deserts. If they could stay in this place, she would be happy. Acacia munched fruit and grazed on the sweet grasses until she was quite full. Only then did she find a suitable place to sleep in a grove of palms. Folding her legs beneath her, the grey and white lady settled down. Sleep would be glorious tonight, she knew. "Speech" |
