no grave can hold my body down
It came as a surprise to Zhenya when she actually spotted the black draft mare approaching from the opposite side of the border. She had never really expected to see Impazienza - she had thought the appaloosa would have better things to do than mundane tasks such as border patrol. Apparently, she was wrong. Impa does not waver as she strides towards Zhenya, but the tobiano mare must take a quick moment to compose herself, forcing a smile onto dark lips. "Impazienza. I was just thinking about you. How coincidental." she says softly, chuckling as she dips her head.

"What are you doing, over there?" Impa asks, and Zhenya shifts her weight, becoming slightly uncomfortable. "I live in the Lagoon now." She says, dark eyes scanning the larger mare's face for any sign of anger or disapproval. "A lot has happened since the first time you and I met." The buckskin mare sighs, moving closer to the Peak's border. She stops just at the edge - she does not dare cross over. "Lyden, the king of the Forest, traded me and two other mares to Soljor in the Bay. He then traded me to Felony. I have been living here for a couple months now." She reaches down to scratch an itch on her foreleg, trying to distract herself from the embarassment that she feels about the whole situation.

"How have you been since we last met? I hope you are doing well." She inquires, raising her head only enough to meet Impa's gaze. She wondered, briefly, if the blanketed mare would become upset over this revelation. Would she try to convince her to leave? To steal her freedom from Felony and the other bachelors? Part of her hoped not. Despite its reputation, she found the Lagoon to be a pleasant place to live. In all honesty, she wasn't too fond of the idea of having to relocate again, and for what? So she could call herself a free woman? Though she thinks herself an independent mare, she enjoys having a place to call home, where she doesn't always have to be on the lookout for danger. She preferred the herd life - even amongst a herd of bachelors.
