four ❧ forward dated to this morning

[maldestre]

[ When it is chilly outside, so chilly in fact that snow sticks to any and all surfaces, and you happen to be the personification of clumsy -- clearly the most logical thing to do is venture out with every intention of visiting the stable. First, however, she ventures to the castle to grab some warmer clothing for the occasion

[He was already in the stable, picking the one place he hasn't tried in previous years, to avoid running into people. So it's with mild exasperation that he greets her, before turning back resolutely to his unicorn]

Morning.

[maldestre]

[ Bad luck! She looks a tad surprised but, considering the unicorn is his, she knew he visited this place often enough. After gently patting the horse's side, she shoots him an amused look. ]

Good morning. Do you also mean to avoid them here?

[excalibured]

With success, up until this point.

[He's going to pick brushing the horse down, back up but with a bit more hurry to the action] Perhaps a ride would be best, after all.

[maldestre]

I was thinking something similar. Perhaps we would be less likely to be caught in an embarrassing situation?

[ looking amused, she mounts her horse and proceeds to usher her toward the stable's exit. ]

Would you care to join me?

[daddyhost]

Never!

[And there is a resolute voice from the other end of the journal.]

I shall never let the lips of any other fair maiden be violated!

[maldestre]

[ even if he can't see it, the surprise is reflected in her voice. she doesn't recognize this voice at all, still.. ]

That is kind of you to say, but we are powerless against the castle's magic.

[daddyhost]

With a pure heart, we can overcome any odds~

[maldestre]

It is refreshing to see such optimism.

[echivoc]

[whoops, almost bumped into this pretty blonde!]

Elena.

[maldestre]

[ ah, one of her favorite castle residents! she looks apologetic instantly but can't help smiling. ]

Cross! Good morning.

[echivoc]

[no need to look apologetic! she's too cute to apologize to him]

Morning. How are you faring so far today?

[maldestre]

Quite well, thank you! And yourself?

[ and this is why she likes him! he won't scowl at her for being the clumsinator ]
