With all the weird shit going on lately, it wasn't unlike Mercy to want to explore. Red skies, no stars, tremors... but she'd come along mostly unscathed. For now. Wandering in the big open world, and enjoying every minute of it. Wake was... around here somewhere. Her uncle was useful supervision, at least, useful for her. More concerned with collecting his herbs and smoking. Hell, secondhand smoking is basically one of her primary hobbies right now.
Wandering well away from Wake, Mercy is content to explore. Let the man have his plants, she'd be wading through the murk and the muck. It clings to her ruddy coat, leaving her muddy instead. At least the water is cool, pockets of shade keeping things more than comfortable despite the summer heat. Taking in the swamp for everything it was, soaking in it. It's actually pretty nice. Makes sense that Wake would be looking for herbs here, the damp environment and oppressive humidity should be good for growing something.

Everything beneath her paws is... squishy. The ground, and the swamp around her, all muddy and squidgy between her paw pads. Wading through the murky water, she's perfectly content. Well, perfectly, other than the smell. It's a bit... stinky? Everything smells like damp, like murk. She's picking up a big of the bog monster aesthetic as well, a patch of moss that she's rubbed beneath sticking dutifully to her hip.
Wading out of the water, she sees the girl. Bright eyes going wide, Mercy hadn't planned on bumping into anyone else, much less someone her age. Drawing to her full height, cocking her head to the side, she studies the other girl for a long moment. She looked just as surprised as Mercy had, and not aggressive, at least. Fuck it, we'd go the friendly route. Expression breaking into a confident smile, tossing her muddy head, she doesn't choose violence. "Hey! I'm Mercy, you wanna explore the swamp with me?" Making friends is that easy for kids, right?
