no grave can hold my body down
The buckskin finds herself laughing - truly - for the first time in a very long time at Impa's words. It feels strange, an alien sensation rising from the back of her throat, but she embraces it eagerly. "I have to agree with you there." She says once her laughter dies down. She becomes sad after hearing that her situation had not improved any. But, oh, her grandsire? How interesting. Zhenya has never known her grandparents - they had all met untimely fates, as unforunate as that was. She doesn't have a problem with not knowing her parent's parents.

"I'm sorry to hear that." She says lamely, her head bowing and a frown distorting her face. She knows she can't do anything about it, but she still feels a twinge of sorrow for the larger mare. She had genuinely hoped things had gotten better for her. It seems her wishes had gone unanswered. "Perhaps you haven't properly identified the root of the problem?" In any other situation, it would be a very brazen thing to suggest - a sign of disrespect, in most cases. However, she feels comfortable enough around the blanketed mare to let herself speak freely.

"Zhenya," her name catches her attention and she perks up, ears perking in Impa's direction. "Are you happy in the Lagoon?" There it is again. This is the second time in a short period she has been asked that question. Zhenya sighs, feeling slightly irritated, but showing no outward signs of it. Instead, she simply blinks a few times at the appaloosa mare, shifting her weight into a more comfortable position. "Yes, quite." It is a simple response. "The stallions mostly keep to themselves, they are of no bother to me. The scenery isn't too shabby. So far, I have been allowed to come and go as I please." She offers a smile, bobbing her head slightly. "Though, I have a feeling that might change come Fall." With breeding season on its way, it is likely that Felony will become very protective, and part of her doesn't blame him. If she were a stallion, she damn sure wouldn't want her mares getting knocked up by some other guy. Not that she had any plans to get pregnant, of course.
