Having settled down, the young mare grew more and more tired. She was only now realizing just how exhausted she'd been crossing that desert. Still, she wasn't fully prepared to sleep just yet. As Canyon wandered around, nose to the ground to feed, she watched him absently. Her ears flicked as did her tail. The biting flies had been worse in other places, but they were still a great annoyance. They seemed to be biting her a lot less than they were biting Canyon and she attempted to find out why. Nearby, she noted the pile of crushed citrus fruit. Normally insects of all types would flock to fruit, but they were leaving the citrus alone. The flies, though biting, were staying away from her mouth which was coated with the oils of the fruits skins. "Canyon," she started. "Try eating some of that fruit. I think it keeps the flies away. Perhaps we could crush some of the skins beneath our hooves and put the around us while we sleep?" She tilted her dainty head slightly at the thought. It was worth a shot, wasn't it? Canyon asked about her day and the plucky mare smiled. "I did. At first I was so tired and thought that the desert would never end, but the oasis was worth it. I wish we could stay here." She knew that Canyon had a lot of wandering left in him though and so she wouldn't beg to stay. Wherever he went, she would go. Maybe in the future their paths would change, but for now, he was stuck with her. She was ever so glad to be with him as well. The nuzzle given was returned, her sleek cheek sliding along her friends nose. A yawn pulled from her and she gave her head a shake, greyscale mane swaying in the process. "What will we do tomorrow? This place seems safe enough to both get some much needed sleep, don't you think?" Curling her legs, Acacia lay down flat on the warm sand and grass, her head on a tussock of grass and leaves. Blue eyes blinked a few more times, the time between blinks becoming longer and longer. She would soon be asleep. "Speech" |
