riding--for Michael, but also open to others

[bloodofthehunt]

She'd left the pendant on after talking to him, but gone quickly upstairs to change into more casual clothes;jeans, boots, a short-sleeved blue shirt. Her hair tied back out of her eyes and braided

Where was Michael? Michael was in the library frowning over a book. A big book with lots of brightly coloured pictures

[allknightlong]

He frowned slightly. "Citizens?" He grabbed some tack and a saddle.

[bloodofthehunt]

"Yes.As big as the Realm is, the Arcana aren't the only people who live here." She smiled. "Though some, aren't human, they're still intelligent creatures."

[allknightlong]

"Really? Sounds...interesting." A smile. "Lead on."

[bloodofthehunt]

She nods,and goes back out. Firefall stands completely still as she lays the saddle in place and starts fixing the straps. He turns his head for a
moment, lipping at her fingers softly, after she's finished.

[allknightlong]

Michael followed, trailing tack and a saddle back to Choco-boy. It took him a few moments to remember how to put a horse together, but he worked it out eventually and soon Choco-boy was one saddled and bridled horse actually eager to get going.

Rayne sat in a corner, tongue lolling out watching.

[bloodofthehunt]

"Good enough." Amused,as she grabs Firefall's reins to lead him outside.
The sunlight floods into her eyes, she pauses, blinking for a second.
Then, without further adieu, she was up and swinging her legs over the
Friesian's back.

[allknightlong]

"You know, that horse is so Gwydyr. And you look so...beautiful up there." He smiled, his eyes sparkling up at her.

A foot in a stirrup and he was up on Choco, the horse moving lightly under him. Rayne came barrelling out of the stables and ran off ahead of them before either of the horses could lift a hoof.

[bloodofthehunt]

She shifted a little, getting into position, and looked west."Yes," smiling in agreement. "Shall we ride?" She touched her heels lightly to Firefall's sides, and he started to move ahead.

[allknightlong]

Michael did the same, Choco trotting along side.

"So, what sort of 'creatures' are we talking about?"

[bloodofthehunt]

"No hints.You'll know when you see them."

[allknightlong]

A smile. "Okay. Lead on, m'dear."

[bloodofthehunt]

With a wry smile, she urges Firefall into a canter, as they turn northwest, toward the forested area.

[allknightlong]

Michael urged Choco after her, simply enjoying the weather and being with Cerridwen.

[bloodofthehunt]

She pulls up as they near the edge of the forest, ducks an overhanging branch, then moves ahead. "So what are you going to name your friend there?"

[allknightlong]

"He doesn't have a name?" It suddenly occurred to him he should probably have asked that question earlier.
