The rain was coming down now, not that the pale lady minded though it left talking to be quite a challenge given the raging winds as well. She was thankful as he moved closer, providing her with a little shelter from the winds, but there wasn't much he could do to keep the rain from soaking her. Given the season her body was preparing for the winter to come soon after, her furry winter coating just starting to grow. She felt soaked to the bone but put aside her uncomfortable state to listen closely to the stallion speak. As he spoke she took note, watching him as closely as she could despite the blinding rain and the winds that pulled at her, trying to distract her. Yes, it took a while to grow use to the Ridge, its rainy climate always worse around certain seasons. Soda keeps silent through it all, only emitting a snort when he mentions the dividing of a family. Her family had been divided for ages now, it wasn't this stallion's fault, but she holds her tongue. Her family was her business, no matter how scattered they all were.
"Asche," she softly repeats the name after he speaks it and then smiles in his direction, "come then my friend, I've just the place to escape to for a while." Even though it was her place she could share it with Asche; he seemed like the perfect gentlemen and so very kind. She could feel her broken heart mend just a bit. Soda pulls away from his side and then motions toward a dark place in the rocky outcroppings. "We can stay there until the storm passes," her voice was a bit louder now that the wind was starting to pick up even more. Not at all worried about getting swept away she moves slowly toward the cave that was hidden away; her personal home inside the Ridge. She was miserable by the time she makes the last few steps into the darkness, shuffling around in the cool confines of the cave to make room for her companion. "Might as well get comfortable, storms here last a while," she sighs, leaning her right side against the stone wall as she looks out into the rain to distract herself from her cold and soaked body. Times like this is where she misses the warmth of others, those that she had loved, but they were all gone while she remained. A hard life for a lone mare but she dealt with it.
"The Ridge is wonderful though despite the weather."
