Dry lips lightly touched the clear water's smooth edge. With some suction water went though my kissers and down my throat. It seemed like hours as I drank the murky water. My bodice was still coated in now dried mud. I hadn't bothered to try and clean myself, all the water was still muddy. If I did, it would only get even worse.

My limp was gone now, only a small pain remain but I was able to hid it well. I glanced over my withers, orbs searching for Tango now. Perhaps she had drifted from my side? She couldn't be too far away. I let loose a small nicker, hoping to call her to me. The water I had found wasn't as muddy as the others. The current was faster so the mud was mostly washed away from the bottom yet the taste of the clay mud was still obvious in the cool water.

I just reach forwards and lazily rested my dail across her back. I nodded slightly. You? I replied. I rubbed my face down her side, trying to help itch her side which was probably just as itchy as mine. When I felt little mud against the side of my dail I looked at her pelt. Most of the mud was off of her. How'd you get clean? I asked as I let my crown lay across her back once more. Orbs looked back to see Tango's features in case she gave another nonvocal answer or question.

I shifted my weight onto my sore pillar to show her it didn't hurt, though it did sting a bit but it was nothing to slow me down now. With a small sigh, I closed my orbs for a few moments before opening them again to watch Tango.
