Sooo you’re the one that’s been making those fuzzy looking avvies? (Rio can speak low-speech, so if you want the horse to speak to her, be my guest =))

More and more each day, Rio began exploring Anathema. She had only been staying here as a guest because her mother permitted her to do so, but now that she was she was beginning to consider staying permanently. The whole territory had a lot of interesting, unexplored, by her, places that she had yet to find.
Today, she just pretty much walked aimlessly. She still didn’t know her way around that much, but she was starting to grasp it. She knew how to get into the caves and was learning the scents of the lands. Souls lands were rubbing off on her bit by bit. The grass was a relief on her recently injured foot, hurt by glass in Halifax. She limped, but not with so much pain thanks to nature and its cushioned ground. At first, she walked really slowly, but now she was starting to heal more and more, and she was walking faster than she had been.
An interesting looking house thing came into view. There was someone’s horse in front of it, tied to a wooden pole, and a small, white bird that watched her cautiously. She didn’t walk too close to them, but as she neared she realized that the structure wasn’t a house at all. It was an old Sawmill of some sort. It looked extremely dusty. She looked down at her nicely wrapped foot, and limped toward the opening of the structure. Before she neared the place, though, she noticed a dark furred man sleeping, which surprised her enough. An audible ”Oh!” escaped her as she was startled. He seemed to smell of Anathema, so she was in no real danger. Rio limpingly backed away from the man, as she was standing rather close to him when he was noticed. She looked away from him on the ground and up at the pretty mare that stood close by. She paid no mind to the bird. If he was a watch-bird like he looked, he would attack her at any given moment. She tried to stay as far away from it as she could. She didn't need any more injuries.
