[AW] Not Quite To The Sea

[Below Zero]

I don't care what they're going to say, let the storm rage on
the cold never bothered me anyway

The heat was the worst for Bel, but that had every reason to do with her species and the way she was built. It wasn't too much of a surprise when she gave up to collapse in the river with Yukime. She was enjoying it for certain, the water running around her, the coolness soothing the heat of the sun rays. It was for this reason she'd initially begun to make her way to the ocean, and while this wasn't sea water, even fresh would do for a relaxing dip.

The sound of water splashing had her freezing however, glancing towards the sound, seeing another had frozen at the sight of her own self. Instantly, in that gaze, Bel felt it. The feeling of judging for her appearance, for the fact she wasn't a creature of a land, instead split between the two. But that never was noticed. They saw the tail, they saw the fins, they saw the gills and the fact her fur was so delicate and water proof it hardly looked like it was fur at all.

Bel's eyes lowered awkwardly, before smoothly climbing to all feet, stepping into the shallows to show she wasn't about to switch forms like the others did, "I, uhm, can see your caution from here . . . I'm . . not a Kelpie or anything. Promise." Bel offered awkwardly, trying to be reassuring to the best of her ability, "My name is Below Zero, but you can call me Bel. I'm a Vapor Treader. We're basically like other horses, but we live our life between the arctic, and the tropics . . But I'm not a shark hiding among the guppies. Closest thing to carnivorous I am, is I like snacking on cod or tuna just as much as I do seaweed and sea grasses." She added, hopeful that it will ease the other - and not bothering to mention she was technically an alien any way. No need to scare the poor mare worse. Right?
