.::Knight::.

Knight smiled for a moment, following her glance toward the house and barn. Sighing, he thought about her question before settling on an answer. "I wasn't always a wild like this. It's lonely when you aren't with a herd, and you do things that you usually wouldn't do. Such as chase chickens around. I have been living like this for a few months now, just making my way through places with no real place I am heading." He stopped for a moment, thinking back on the months after the fire. "It's lonely without other horses. But I much rather be here than that barn I was in." He quivered a little, looking at the barn Ebony had looked at earlier.

Ebony Dreams.
"A horse is an angel without wings."
"What was it like?" She asked, raising her head to look Knight in the eye. "At your old barn, I mean." Although Ebony was usually good at keeping eye contact, for some reason she needed to distract herself to keep looking at the stud infront of her. Or, at least, look at anywhere but his face. She reached out with her muzzle and nuzzled his neck, and then began to groom his coat.

.::Knight::.

Knight closed his eyes, remembering the barn a bit too clearly. "It started out okay, but then it was sold to someone else. Everything was sold. The horses, the place, the fields. That's when things started turning bad." He looked down, smiling softly at this new place; but the smile quickly disappeared. "It all just turned horrible. Then the barn caught on fire and... and the people left us to... to die." He paused for a moment before continuing. "The only reason I escaped was because of my mother... But I still hear the screams of the horses as the first collapsed above them. It haunts me all the time."

Drew and Chad

The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

Drew nodded, although he too didn't get the problem with the different weight. It was an awful lot easier on the horse's back when rising down a trail to have the rider's weight distributed across their back but he didn't question it. Asael knew what he was doing and understood horses just as well as the next guy. "Alright, then. Well, if you wanna switch out halfway, you can take my saddle. Chad doesn't mind me riding him bareback." He turned to Celine and bit his lip as he thought over her question. There were many, many different trails they could go on, one of which he honestly didn't care to go down. It led to a little clearing in the forest that was very pretty and hidden from others. Only Celine and he knew about it - it was the place where Drew had admitted that he liked her and later the place where they decided to stay just friends. He wasn't bitter, not really, but it would certainly be awkward for himself. "There's one that leads to the lake, right? It's pretty flat and won't make these guys too tired," Drew suggested.

((if I got anything wrong, Nala, let me know ^^))

~Asael~

Asael pondered Drews words "I'll think about it" he answered politely as he watched the boy think for a moment "Sounds good to me" he said finally, nudging Eliors sides with his heels and encouraging him forward into a long striding walk, yawning loudly as he did so.

~Elior~

Elior plodded forward obediently, tail flowing happily behind him, ears pricked and body ready. He swung his large head to look behind him and nickered out to the other geldings, seemingly smiling towards them with a look of excitement in his large black eyes.

Rebecca Sanders

She caught it easily since things were thrown at her at the shelter. She thought for a moment then returned her soft gentle gaze back to Lucas, "Anything you offer. I'm not too picky." she smirked slightly, knowing there were a few things she absolutely hated. She could tell he was tired and really felt bad for being the one holding him back from his room. She paused, then looking sympathetically in Lucas' gaze, "If you want, you can just show me where my room is and when I get hungry I can come grab a snack from the fridge." she offered with a warm smile.

Celine Devereux.
"Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance."
"Great. Let's go." Celine smiled, pulling herself up onto Galileo's back as she spoke. The western saddle was definitely more comfortable, but it was also a little odd as she was so used to riding English style. Galileo seemed a little at odds with the different saddle too, but he soon adjusted. At his rider's command, he broke into his usual relaxed walk.


Lucas Devereux.
"In riding a horse we borrow freedom."
Lucas straightened up but stayed where he was; sitting on the counter. Was he really that easy to read? "Are you sure?" He asked, but then realised how clingy he sounded and shook his head, embarassed with himself. "Désolé. Sure, I'll show you to your room." The young man smiled, jumping down from the counter and setting off at a walk through a nearby door. There was a long hallway there, and on each side of it there were multiple doors. Lucas didn't stop until he was at the very last one on the right side. "Here we are."


Ebony Dreams.
"A horse is an angel without wings."
The mare nuzzled his neck as she raised her head, eager to comfort him. "Well... You could stay here..." She muttered, a little nervous as she was unsure whether he would like the idea or not. Probably not, she guessed, based on his earlier behaviour around humans. "I'm sure Lucas would look after you..."

Drew and Chad

The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

Drew smiled lightly and relaxed into his saddle. Chad began to walk forward and Drew dropped the reins so that they hung on the saddle horn. Chad stretched his neck out gratefully for a moment before bringing it back and Drew took up the reins again. A slight wind started blowing and Drew widened his smile a little and leaned back. He loved the forest and riding along the trails, and today was a perfect day for it.

Rebecca Sanders

Rebecca smiled and then followed him out the door. Alot of people must stay here... or they could just afford to have tons of rooms. She smirked at herself about the thought. When Lucas stopped at the door she nodded, but before she went in she turned back to him and smiled softly, "Merci." then with that simple but meaningful word she went into her room, closing the door lightly behind her.

Once inside the room she leaned back on the wall and took a deep breath. She wasn't the type of girl to feel butterflies when she was around guys, but something about Lucas just made her feel... well, she didn't even know. After leaning there for a moment she took a sip of her water and went further into the room. There was a window that overlooked the back-half of their land, prime riding area. Then she turned to her bed, a large soft looking mattress laid neatly on an elegantly carved wooden bed frame. She smiled, Lucas and his family sure did know how to pick their decor. She cocked her head slightly, someone had brought her stuff in here already, Lucas must have house-keepers and one of them took it in.

She went over to her pack and took out a photo album. It was dusty and old lookin, but it held pictures of all the animals and people she had helped at the shelter, along with her brother.

Lucas Devereux.
"In riding a horse we borrow freedom."
The young man nodded to Rebecca as she went into the room, a soft smile lightening his face as he listened to her voice as she spoke French. It was a simple word, yes, but meaningful. She was attempting to communicate with him in his native tongue; something that meant a lot to him.
Chuckling to himself as he disappeared down the hallway, Lucas made his way to the other side of the house; where his parents and siblings rooms were, as well as his own. He went inside and practically collapsed onto his bed. A soft sigh escaped his lips as he landed on his bed, the soft mattress cushioning his fall. For once, he had experienced a rather good day. "Seems things are looking up..." He muttered to himself, his voice trailing off as a soft yawn left his mouth and he, eventually, drifted off to sleep.
