[i] - Mercy - [/i]

Mercy had spent the first day helping where she could despite Ash’s strong objections, having thanked Tony for kindly retrieving her forgotten arrows she had ended up spending most of the first day settling the animals around the farm whilst the others sorted the houses. The horses in particular had required a lot of her attention. She managed to keep going right up until early evening when Ash had taken her aside and [i]forced[/i] her stop with a particularly grueling lecture. Too tired to argue she had retreated from the battle, flopping onto her allocated bed and slipping into an easy sleep.

Having woken up stupidly early Mercy had already invaded the shower, finding the entire experience to be positively heavenly. She couldn’t deny she felt great at this moment, it had taken a great deal of scrubbing to remove the dirt that accumulated on her pale skin but now it was gone she felt good about herself again, she had even found clothes that fit her in the house a plain white tank top that was a little too clingy for her liking but would suffice and a pair of straight cut jeans which she needed a belt to fit into comfortably, she’d also treated and re-dressed the wound on her left arm glad it seemed to be healing nicely, it would have healed fast if she’d let the air get to it but if they had to move again she wanted it protected from the shamblers. 

She had tiptoed out of her shared room as soon as she was done and quietly made her escape to the barn waving a greeting if she happened across anyone but she didn't stop to chat though and quickly continued on to the barn. Within a matter of minutes she had managed to feed the larger creatures leaving [url=http://www.craigequestriancenter.com/uploads/9/0/9/6/9096113/9318428.jpg?451 ] Comet [/url] happily munching on her hay inside her stall, she had tied [url= http://www.freshboo.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/black-and-white-horse.jpg ] Bandit [/url] up outside Comet’s stable with a similar net of hay so she could give him a much needed groom, She'd also given the resident Cow a bit of attention and a large serving of hay to keep her happy...she hadn't even entertained the idea of getting everyone fresh milk for the morning, she wouldn't even know where to start. The Pinto gelding stood at a grand height of 16 hh and was well built, he still seemed rather unsettled although he was eating his hay every small sound had him lifting his head and snorting through his nose. Brush in hand Mercy gave him a few reassuring strokes with the body brush, smiling as he nosed her inquisitively. [i]Easiest way to a horses heart through their stomach[/i] She thought to herself, moving the brush over his dull and dusty coat. “And I don't want the world to see me, 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand” She sung softly to him, raising an eyebrow as he focused a long slender ear on her. “When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am” She continued, before humming along to the well known instrumental , this world was so lacking in music she couldn’t help but to occasionally sing to herself. She’d stored a great many songs in her memory, although she wasn't sure whether the melodies were right anymore.

“I don’t suppose you have a musical preference?” She murmured to the Pinto leaning back to look at his face, she was completely unaware of her surroundings despite Ash’s constant instruction to be ‘alert’ and ready for anything. Catching sight of her the gelding merely snorted loudly and continued eating his hay. “I didn’t think so” She chuckled lightly, before putting a hand to her head. “Oh good...I’m talking horses now” She sighed to herself, pushing her fringe out of her face she continued to flick the muck from Bandit’s coat. "Definitely signs that I'm losing the plot" She muttered to herself.
