I'm no mud monster." he said warily, then sighed. "Do I have to get clean to prove it?" He seemed annoyed and disgusted by the thought of washing off. "I-I can, uh, leave if I'm a problem." he added shakily. Was this mare absolutely crazy?! He may have been caked with mud, as always, but most could clearly see that he was a pegasus. This was one confused mare, he concluded.
