Mushroom stood in the shadows at the edge of the Commons, ears tilted back and nostrils twisted. She watched as horse after horse was led off like a pig to slaughter, or at least that's what she imagined being claimed was like. Truthfully, Mushroom had no idea. The last time she had been here, a stallion had attempted to claim her, and despite her colorful choice of words for him; she would have gone happily...enough. She supposed it was natural that a complete stranger was not worth fighting for, but it didn't make it sting any less. With a huff, she stepped into the light, tossing her head and squeezing her eyes shut as she adjusted to the change from the dark.
"Too bright," she grimaced, stomping her hooves with indignation, as she stalked into the more open section of the Commons. She felt exposed, much preferring the dark and damp corners of the forests like her namesake. She didn't whinny to draw attention to herself, or prance about, but the way she stomped as if she was trying to squish the earth itself, did not make her easy to miss.
She stopped finally, her tail snapping like an annoyed cat, before she finally dropped her head to graze. She cocked a hoof, as if relaxed, but truly she was merely prepping it in case she had to kick. Whatever happened and whoever approached, she already decided she was not going to make it easy on them. She wanted them to know what they were getting. |
