"Perhaps." Rocky nodded afirmatively. "That sounds nice." She turned her head towards the sandbar. "You would like them up there. They are so much nicer when you dont have all the trees in the way."
She began to wade further out, the minoe biting at her ankle as she went. She tried shaking him off, but he just kept coming back, playing with her. "You can see almost everything from up there. And the lake is pretty with the sun shining on it." She was transported almost instantly back to her home.
With a sigh, she brushed off the memories and focused in on that dratted little fish at her feet. Rocky squinted one eye and tried to see down into the water.

Even if the water wasn't going to eat her, Fortune wasn't quite sure if she'd be able to go much further out. She didn't know how to swim, even if she said she maybe thought she could.
"It sounds nice," Fortune agreed, taking a single step forward. Several of the minnows attacked her own ankles and she giggled, "Heeey, that's my leg!"

"Yep. Thats the only thing that will attack you here." Rocky laughed as she tried to watch the minoe through the glossy water as it changed direction and followed Fortune, bringing many friends with it. They began to harass the newcomer as if they were plotting to take over the world. They had their own little plan going on, secretly talking in fish-speak. Rocky knew it. They are tiny, but they worked in numbers.

"So long as they don't bite me," she said with a small smile, kicking at her feet and sending the little creatures scattering. That should teach them! Of course, she knew they'd come back.
"D'ya come here often?"

And they did come back... with friends! Rocky swayed her body from side to side in the sunlight enjoying the wonderful warmth. "When I wish for a change from the river." She stated. "I feel at home close to the water."
She snorted as she placed her nose to the surface to gaze at the tiny fish sprawling all around them. "I dont know why, but I feel so at home near the water."

Fortune kicked at the minnows once more and laughed softly, "Persistant buggers, ain't they?"
At Rocky's words, the mare tilted her head to the side, "It's good you feel at home. I can't feel at home anywhere. I wander around too much."
Fortune really disliked staying in one place and while she always felt the need to wander about, she never really knew why. She just did.

"Sometimes wandering is good." Rocky dipped her nose in the water, it lapping the edges of her nostrils. She snorted bubbles below the surface and watched as the fishies played with them, popping them as they went. Rocky blinked as one jumped out of the water and hit her square in the forhead. With a start she jerked her head backwards.
"Sometimes, finding a home is better." She tipped her head to the side thinking about what the black mare must have gone through to not want a home. "Easier perhaps?"

Fortune couldn't help but grin as Rocky was hit in the head by a jumping minnow, "Perhaps, but I haven't had the urge to do it. Sometimes I think it's easier to not have a home."
The mare kicked in the water again, "Don't have to worry about getting back to someplace and can take your time."

"I'm not sure I follow," Stated Rocky, who was still a bit dazed from the fish. "I just don't get the logic behind that thinking."
