she'd been so foolish, so stupid. Because of her worries, her fears, she had taken away a young girl who deeply cared for her father and quite possibly broken the heart of said stallion by her, well their disapearance. Chi had to stop living in the past and get on with life. It wasn't like everyone was out to get her or Indy, but her first time with Olaf, him being her very first stallion had scarred her. She had been young and had a big crush on him. Afterall, the pair had almost been the same with their bald faces and paint markings. Heaving a heavy sigh, Chi briefly breaks away from her thoughts to look down at her side where her spotted little filly slept. Reaching over, the mare lips at the tiny tuft of forelock between the girl's ears. Chi loved to easy, it was her biggest issue.

Pulling back, her mismatched eyes look over the scenerary of the forest, the green somewhat gone as Fall made it's way across the islands, turning leaves to golds, reds and even orange. Soon it would be winter, the hardest element of them all, and Indy's first winter. Though Chi had something to take care of first that would affect them both. Casting her child a long look and scenting the air she is soon up and on her feet, giving a long strecth before moving past the trees and brambles that hid the tiny grove away. Beyond the thin wall was the stream, the main one she knew the other horses of the herd would use. She has seen Hemp here often but she never dared to approach. Her fear kept her away but she was hoping to change all that today.

Lifting her pale muzzle her call echoes all around her and carries on the wind, before she again moves but this time into the stream. Her legs move her till she is knee deep, and her neck lowers till her mouth can gulp up enough water to quench her thirst. Chi only pulls up when the bushes nearby rustle, her gaze one of curiousity as she stares at who or whatever comes barging in. Hopefully this was someone of the herd, as Chi being the hermit she was, has never had the pleasure to meet the other women here.
