Riifa warily glanced around her as she put down hoof after hoof on the forest terrain. The prime reason in which she had come into Herda Woods was because of the welcoming thought of fresh plants to eat; she hadn't accounted for the thought that other predators lived here. She was a good way into the woods too - any thought of going back had been dispelled. The quickest way out would just to keep walking, as much as it displeased the mare.
Even so, she had managed to find loads of delicious plants that she had never tasted in her life. Hunting for food that isnt grass had becoming an almost daily event for her, so she was more than familiar with both edible and poisonous plants. She had expected Herda Woods to be full of prickly leaves that would automatically kill you, but she was pleasantly surprised. While Riifa certainly didn't feel safe in this forest - she knew it wasn't safe; she could feel it in her bones - she had managed to achieve her primary goal. The thought of more was probably the only reason the mare wasn't bolting through the remainder of the woods.
A rustle behind her startled her out of her thoughts. She tensed up, ears pinned back as she quickened her stride, leaving the rustling behind her. "What the hell am I getting so scared over?" she muttered, surveying her surroundings anxiously. Running out a predator would be easy for her, but... Riifa sniffed, then immediately pulled her head up, sniffing some more. What...what was that smell? It smelt familiar. Another horse? She backed herself up against a tree so she could see both ways of the path, readying her body into a position to run.
