Sand. Ocean. All signs of the beach that would normally draw to mind warmth and summer days. Now, the water was colder than the breath of the reaper and the sand was frosted in some places. Sea birds and the like dotted the water and beach in small teams or alone, scavenging for food. Among them walks a dainty, rather small mare. They scatter as she approaches, and she gives a soft smile at their squabbling and squawking. Indignant that she interrupt their daily routines. Prints of her hooves are left behind in the sand, still soft and loose despite frostfall's influence. Rowan heads toward the water, tired of exploring the strip of land. The birds quiet their screeching as she leaves their vicinity and she has the urge to roll her eyes. Instead she relishes the abscence of screeching, and wonders if she should test the water.

The decision seems nice but she knows she will hesitate should the water be too cold. Rowan sighs at herself and strides purposefully into the white foamed body of water. The shock of cold is enough to make her gasp and shiver but she presses on. She does not head any deeper once it barely touches her belly, knowing her body heat will be sapped much too fast. She walks, sometimes lifting her legs to swim when the sand dips down too low. No longer is she alert to other souls, merely enjoying the freezing dip. Sometimes stopping to inspect a thing or two that cycles her attention, smile soft and blue eyes happy. Golden white tail drifts behind her on the water like a shimmering trail and her bodice darkens more as she is splashed by the waves.

The beach is long and will not end soon, and Rowan is content with examining and playing. Never uttering a sound. Defenseless as she is, it doesn't cross her mind. Rowan has always been naive, but all she can feel is the water and the peace in her heart.
