Eydis | Zaquar | Early Summer
The pastel mare shook out her thick mane as she felt the stallion's close proximity to her personal space. Of course, she knew it was a bit much to ask him to stop poking and prodding at her, but she decided not to feed the beast with a retort. Shooting him a curious look as he grabbed a branch between his teeth and tore away the greenery, Eydis made an indifferent hmph as she shrugged her shoulders before bouncing up a steep part of the path. Jumping up onto the main road once more, the mare looked back at her new travelling companion to ensure he made it up soundly.

"Suit yourself then." She punctuated with a tick of her tongue before letting her tail flick behind her as she walked the familiar way home. "Don't ask for any of my snacks then."

The mare gave a soft chuckle, knowing full well he was going to end up asking for her fresh muffins and berries before the day was done. As the cottage came into view just off the road, Eydis could hear her partner Legacy humming to herself as she tended to their garden. A smile quietly broke on her lips as she caught a snippet of her lemon-lime hide in the rose bushes as they moved into the walkway to the house. The smell of flowers filled the forest's morning air, as well as the smell of the muffins she had baked earlier before going out for her morning walk.

"Stay out here." She looked sternly at the stallion as she arrived at her front door, her mint eyes looking him over with a piercing emphasis. "I'm going to fetch my satchel and some food and I will be right out." With that said, she pushed open the large oak door and walking inside, her hooves clicking on the stone floor as she made her way into the kitchen. The oven was still giving off heat as she quickly moved a few off the counter beside it to a cloth as well as some fruits before tying it neatly. Moving to the cupboard she grabbed out a large jar of jam and a small loaf of bread before leaning to the back and grabbing a large jug of water. Carrying them to the table she set them into another cloth and tied them up before grabbing her bag off one of the hooks near the back door. The bag was made to sit on her back with a pack on each side, to better distribute the weight on her back. It was much more comfortable than other bags she had owned, and the wear was very apparent from the few patches and restitches that bound it together. After setting it onto the table with a soft thud, Eydis began carefully placing her goodies into the bag to ensure their safe travel.

Looking around her home once more and nodding to herself, she put the satchel on over her head, letting it rest over her back before moving back to the front door. Pulling it open and letting her tail close it behind her, she reached a leg up to scratch her nose quickly before looking up again. "Alright, let's get moving, Two-Heads."
