Rating : G
Timeframe : Summer 1260
Word Count : 172 (I was aiming for Pocky, but I way overshot it)
Malt Prompt : Prompts from a Hat - favorite place + Tristan & random suitor of Ski's
The door creaked open and Tristan lifted his head. A couple came into view, silhouetted within the frame by the sunlight that now flooded the stable. Tristan sighed and the horse shuffled its feet as the brush caught midway through its mane.
The man in the doorway took in his surroundings as if he couldn’t possibly think of anything more boring. “A barn?” he asked his companion.
“You requested a tour,” Ski’s voice came in response. “It is a fort, after all. What did you expect? Besides, I rather like the stables.” Blue eyes settled on Tristan and he was certain the smile that graced her lips was meant only for him. The man frowned at her, brows angled in disbelief. “In fact,” she continued, “I might say this is my favorite place on the grounds.”
“You like horses, then?” Tristan swallowed a laugh and watched Ski do the same. “Perhaps we should go for a ride some time.”
Ski patted the man on the arm. “That would be lovely,” she said.
