The weather did not suit to spend the entire morning outside, so Faramir had settled himself on a stack of fresh hay in Baru's box. The horse did not seem to mind the company, and Faramir enjoy the quiet in the stables. It led to lesser distractions as he read through one of the books his brother had sent him. This one told the history of the Kin- ( Read more... )

Baru had somehow not needed an explanation as to whom he was. That either proved that Baru was a rather smart horse or even in this form, Faramir was still himself or at least he smelled like himself. Admittedly, he was curious now but the one person he knew to ask was not immediately approachable ( Read more... )

The fall trip didn't start until tomorrow, but Bruce was already completely packed. Honestly, he was probably packed too early and too effectively because, ahem, he found himself having nothing to occupy his time after he finished his morning exercises. This left him in the undesirable position of trying to find something to take up some of his ( Read more... )

Despite Maladicta's suggestion to watch people meet their families, Faramir had ended up staying away. He knew that it was not simply a matter of giving others their privacy.

It wouldn't be the first time Dolf surfed the TV channels in the common room; he'd gotten over the shock of being reintroduced to audiovisual stuff pretty quickly. It was the lack of familiarity of the channels that still threw him, at this point, and he was determined to do something about that ( Read more... )

It was not often that Faramir found himself growing weary of study, but today he needed to move. His classes' syllabus was proving to be a challenge, it was a struggle deciphering the words and then he had to restart so he could grasp their meaning as well. It'd had come to a point where his dreams were filled with strange scripts that he needed to ( Read more... )

After his visit to the library, Faramir decided both Baru and himself would be grateful to stretch their legs and go for a ride around the island. Mindful of the warnings he'd received about invasions, he'd donned his leather armour and had retrieved his sword from the weapon's locker. The weight was familiar and reassuring, but those were thoughts ( Read more... )
