[open] get down with the sickness; any

Maiko

Biting’s excellent. It’s like kissing, only there’s a winner.

The veridian-coloured mare wandered the meadow, as she would other places. She knows abuot the Plague of course but, how bad could it be? Surely, those who has it would survive. If they died too quickly from it, it wouldn’t spread so fast.

And of course, there would be fights over the safe lands, so she didn’t think that was the place to go.

She steered clear of most obviously-sick horses, of course. But mostly she was just living her normal, peaceful life, and being less peaceful to other horses in her spare time.

When some young, sickly-looking cremello (bleak as ever, especially compared to Maiko’s veridian coat and pink streaks) walked across the meadow and right into her own grazing path, she came to a halt with a surprised snort and then irritated slash of her tail against her hock; ears falling back when she realized she had nearly touched the sick girl. ”Ew, you. Contain yerself, ugly babe.” she bitches, stepping back to avoid her.

She wasn’t sure how contagious it was, perhaps she was already doomed now, but she couldn’t be sure what these dumb horses that had heeded the god’s call had unleashed, and perhaps it wasn’t too late yet.

@[Leokadia] rooood mare alert but maybe Lo won’t mind. I may be a bit less fast with her than with others but the Plague is a good excuse to get her out more!
