{you remind me of the babe}
Half of the mare was covered in mud, some dried and crusty and some still wet, clinging to her pelt in soggy clumps. Stuck to her mane and tail were strings of grass and twigs, and from the knees down her legs were soaking wet and slimy with algae. Voudou was new to the area, which left much to explore, and explore she had. Unfortunately the mare had wandered a bit too close to a spring she had found bubbling up from the ground, and before she knew it she was chest deep in mud before hitting solid ground beneath. It was nearly ten minutes before Voudou had managed to crawl out from the sludge and she now found herself standing in a few inches of murky, brown-green water.
Her plan was to head over towards the lake she had first been introduced to by Jason, there she could clean herself up and return to her former glory. It was a good plan until she heard something she had not heard before. Jason had described it to her, and she knew she should be somewhere but where?? Oh! It was that silly tree in the middle of the place! A smug grin spread across her maw, as if she was awarding herself for remembering such a simple thing, even though she couldn't remember the name of the damn tree. Such things didn't bother her. Voudou broke into a trot, disregarding her filthy appearance. That could be fixed later. For now she wanted to meet the one labelled the queen of her new home. What a queen she had been too, Voudou had yet to meet her, or even hear anything about her.
Then again, Voudou had yet to meet anyone really. It didn't bother her too much, she always knew where to find Jason and it felt like she was living in her own little world when he wasn't around. Nobody was ever around to prod into her life, how perfect.
Soon she arrived, and saw Jason already standing around, as well as the mare she assumed to be queen. Though part of her wanted to stand near the blue stud, Voudou moved around him and left enough space for 3 or 4 horses between them. She was too stubborn to spend too much time with or near him, whether she wanted to be near him or not.
Voudou daydreamed while she waited around for the queen to do or say something. After what seemed like an eternity she finally addressed the small group. What? Here Voudou had only just met this mare and she was giving up her spot as queen? Such is life she supposed. Of course Jason spoke up immediately, voicing his opinion against at least some of what the queen suggested. Frankly Voudou didn't care what happened to this place so long as she could keep wandering aimlessly around. Voudou, unlike Jason, was not so devoted to this land. If even for an instant something here disappointed her she would leave rather than try to fix it. She knew she would always be able to find a home, whether here, the Chamber or elsewhere. Why tie yourself down to one home?
At Jason's statement she took half a step back, not wishing at all to be involved in the politics of the matter at hand.
