( BACK )

Springsong: -lifts head up-

Charlotte: Its kinda dangerous for him to be outside... they can rope him.

Springsong: -snorts- He wouldn't listen to you.

Charlotte: I know..

Springsong: Can we jump outside for a bit?

Charlotte: Sure. -leads her to the paddock, hands in her legging pockets, she thought about Queen Lilliam destroying her for not getting Springsong ready for the auction a few days ago and running away from her family-

One of the boys that had gotten in trouble last time: -he was working out with his Kihlari steed, jumping high hurdles with his horse at a gallop, he slowed his horse down and gave Charlotte a murderous glanse-

Charlotte: ...

Springsong: -bares her teeth at him-

Boy's Kihlari: -snorts-

Boy: -squeezes the Kihlari's side and he jumped-

Tora landed outside her barn and slipepdoff. She groomed far more than she needed to and twisted ehr necklace over and over thinking about what had just happened.

Maiya waved to Glen and smiled at Charlotte warily. "I'm M-Maiya," She Muttered to her still smiling silliyly. "Nice to m-meet you,"

Charlotte: -nods, feeling her shy attitude. She was always shy with new comers, but Springsong's feist assirtive attitude taught her a thing or to- I'm Charlotte, you to! :)

* feisty

Boy: -he made a disgusted face- Watch out. She's a runnaway. -jumps-

Springsong: AND YOUR A- -whinnies loudly-

Charlotte: -bends over and whispers in her ear- Not now. You don't understand.

Springsong: -snorts-

Maiya watched all this and sighed. She then turned and saw Tamala out of her stall. She grabebd Tamala's halter and lead adn walked up to her carefully. "Hi girl! Do you want to come into your stall?" She asked. Tamala flared her wings and shook her head. "Then... do you want to go in the paddock?" She asked. Cedarpond pricked her ears and lowered her head. Maiya slipped the halter on and latched it. "That's it! Follow me," She said leading her to the paddock.

Tora kept on twisting her necklace and Arenathe nudged her. Tora came back to reality and jumped backwards befroe realizing it was her steed. SHe laughed at herself and whispered secrets in Arenathe's ears.

William: -he led his steed to the stables with a scared face-

Kinzoh: -he was energetic and prancing around-

William: -William took off all of Kinzoh's armor and tack, hosing him down-

Philip saw William enter the stbales with a scared expression. He walked over. "Hey, you okay?" He asked.

Charlotte: -she tore her eyes away from his brother's friend and clicked her tongue- Wanna jump the advanced ones?

Springsong: Sure! -canters quickly-

William: Nah, Garry threatened me, dunno what's wrong with that guy and his mind. -he finished hosing down his steed and started brushing with a curry comb-

Philip nodded. He walked back over to his steed and started brushing them down for the dusk patrol.

Maiya led Tamala into the paddock and closed the gate and unlatched her halter. Tamala reared and went galloping across the hills and Maiya laughed. She ran across the edge keeping up with Tamala and playing through the glass.

( Hello? )

(hi)

William: -he moved onto the hard brush then the soft brush until his coat was glistening-

Charlotte: -she got into a two-point as Springsong galloped bareback-

Springsong: -she jumped over the high ones with ease- This is boring.. what else do they got?

Charlotte: Really? Those were some high jumps...

Springsong: -snorts- For you. What about those?

Charlotte: That's for the warriors only...

Springsong: We're warriors!

Charlotte: Um... no we're not.

Springsong: Where's your fun? :3 -canters there-

Charlotte: -rolls eyes and chuckles-

Tora hopped on Arenathe who whinnied. She whistled and they took off to the forest and she flew over it. She looked down and watched the trees fly past. She stood on Arenathe's back and peered over. She clicked her tounge and Arenathe landed in a shaded area where they looekd around at the beatiful scenery.

Cedarpond perked her ears to Springsong and Charlotte jumping high jumps and Maiya turned to watch them.

Springsong: -she broke into a gallop-

Charlotte: -doesn't feel so face, but she didn't want to stop Springsong. It would offend her and all her work on getting Springsong to trust her would be over, -she hugged onto Springsong's neck, shutting her eyes-

Springsong: -she galloped towards the jump and smirked, she jumped it flawlessly-

Charlotte: -she felt like she was falling-

Maiya clapped her hands silently and smiled at their flawless jump.

Charlotte: -Charlotte felt the collapse when they landed- Why did you do that one..? >.<

Springsong: I like a challenge, and by Anok you stayed on!

Charlotte: You did all the work :/

Garry: -.-

Springsong: But you stayed on :D

Charlotte: Can we try the other jumps? Before we get in trouble..

Springsong: Why do you care so much about getting in trouble?

Charlotte: Because I've gotten in enough mischieve.

Springsong: -lashes tail- Okay. -canters back to the permitted ones-

*mischeive

Tora walked slowly around and Arenathe following behind her. She stopped at a twig snap. She turned slowly and gave Areanthe the signal to freeze. She heard some more twig snaps and looked up. Nothing. She looked right. Nothing. Then she looked left. There was a giant lizard/Dragon standing infront of her slithering it's tounge. She gulped and Arenathe felt the tension.

Maiya walked back to the stbals and started to muck out stalls again and groom some of the Khilari.
