[As you walk around Vatheon today, you may occasionally hear a whinny or a neigh. Perhaps even a clop clop clop- rather remniscent of the sound of a trotting horse. How curious! Yet should you attempt to follow the

[lunateclock]

[...He can't help but follow it out of curiosity, but when he loses it, he continues walking--

Only to be stopped by a damp-haired girl. Ah. He has his suspicions now. ...also horse.]

I'm sorry, I haven't. I'm rather sure I heard one earlier, though.

[allays]

You did? Oh, I'm glad that I'm at least getting closer. I'm afraid he might be avoiding me on purpose.

[She looks left and right very quickly before tilting her head.]

Ah, could you be so kind as to point me in the direction he might have gone?

[lunateclock]

[Wow they are truly talking about a missing horse. Well. Okay then. He nods.]

He went that way, last I heard. I tried to follow, but lost him somewhere in the middle district.

[...]

Would you like some help finding him?

[allays]

[You'll never be bored, Minato. She seems a bit surprised at the offer, but smiles nonetheless.]

Thank you very much for the information. However, I would hate to pull you away from whatever you were doing before. The middle district is... [She gingerly points in some direction.] that way, isn't it?

[derp derp]

[lunateclock]

[The life of a video game character is neve boring. How's that tragic past doing, by the way--

He nods, easily.]

It is this way, actually. I've been here for a few months; it might help to have someone who knows the geography when catching a horse, right? It's no trouble for me.

[Also he wants to see this horse. They aren't exactly a common animal in modern day Japan.]

[allays]

If you're certain... [She nods, realizing when she could use a hand, yes.] Thank you very much. I greatly appreciate it.

Ah, and I suppose an introduction would be in order. [She curtsies.] My name is Priscilla. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[lunateclock]

It's nice to meet you as well, Priscilla-san. My name is Minato.

[And a nod.]

Shall we start looking?

[allays]

[... -san? She tilts her head, but otherwise nods.]

I believe that would indeed be the best course of action, yes.

[lunateclock]

[He sets out, then, when he knows that she is following.]

I assume the horse is yours? Did he come with you from your world?

[allays]

[A nod.]

He did. He accompanied me all throughout my travels and holds a number of my things. While it would be nice to retrieve my items... I still would like the faintest reminder of home, considering the situation.

[The last part is admitted just a bit more sheepishly.]

[lunateclock]

[A quick nod and a flash of a smile.]

Entirely understandable. I think he should be--

[Clip. Clop. Clip. Clop--

Minato falls silent, listening.]

[allays]

[She perks up slightly at the noise, the first hint that she encountered all day. She smiles gratefully to Minato before resuming their pace quietly, following the sound.]

[lunateclock]

[He nods, gesturing to her to continue following the noise.

Meanwhile, he takes a different path, to cut off the horse should he keep going too quickly.

Presumably...they will catch the horse between them.]

[allays]

[... a bit perplexed but she sees no reason not to trust him at any rate.

After following a bit, she notices the horse walking along, complete with her satchel of items and-

... An apple in its mouth? But she didn't pay for anything....

D:]

Ben!

[lunateclock]

[Aaaand that is when he shows up from the other side, having gone through an alleyway, and stands in front of the horse, hands still in his pockets.

The horse pauses for a moment.

Minato pauses as well.

...]

[allays]

[Yes, you two can keep on pausing, she's going to rush on over to her horse now. It seems that he wasn't exactly running from her, but exploring on his own, if the lack of escape means anything.

The first thing she does is pet him endearingly before checking the bag at his side. As she does so, she seems to be speaking reprimandingly to him.]

That wasn't a very good thing to do, Ben! And it seems you've gone and gotten yourself a snack. Now couldn't you have waited for me? In fact, you really should have stayed in the same place you know, though I suppose that's hardly worth mentioning now...
