1x1 with ~Eggie~

"That I can live with." Snow smirked a bit at the thought of bossing him around, all she wanted to do was smile widely when he mentioned horses, but kept a straight face on. "I already know how to ride. I'd love to just annoy you so you send me outside with the horses."

[SecretShadows]

Matthew slightly smirks and said: "Oh really? Well I would love to see you even dare annoy me, you'll loose your head... besides your free to ride whenever you wish, it's safe on the trails as well so you don't need to take any guards."

[lupins]

"So if I even annoy you one time, you'll behead me? Don't you think that's going a bit too far?" Snow asked and grinned slightly. She hadn't expected to like this conversation, but in reality him saying she'd be free to ride whenever she wished, made her slightly cheerful.

[SecretShadows]

"One time isn't as bad nor is two but if I realize you making it a habit you're dead." Matthew said but soon couldn't help and chuckle saying: "Do you not ride often then? You seem pretty happy when I told you you can go riding freely." He looks up from his papers at her.

[lupins]

"I barely ride them. Only for 'princess' duties. Horses are like, the only thing I can do outside this place that I'm good at. But whenever my sister or myself go near one, we get told to leave it to servants. Sometimes my sister and I sneak out at night just to visit them, it's like a safe place." Snow explained, a bit unsure why she told him that she and her sister sneak out at times, but it's not like she could take it back now.

[SecretShadows]

Matthew looks at her saying: "I see... Well you need not sneak out, the horses are free to use and groom as you like... they usually enjoy attention anyway and you will have your own mare ones you come live in my castle." He placed the papers down and slightly smile but you couldn't really see it.

[lupins]

"Just like that steed of your own, I was watching him from my window. Truth is, I ended up saying hi to the horse, he looked like he wanted a bit of attention. I hope you don't mind?" Snow admitted, it was fun when she met Matthews horse.

[SecretShadows]

Matthew raised a brow ones more than said: "Gray? Yes he is really playful but you must know how to play with him if you wish to survive... Gray is a trained war horse, I can get him to kill people with a single word and that is why I don't want people around him... he is playful yes but he sees you as a other horse so he is not afraid to bite or kick you even if it was ment for only playing." His reason for chasing away the kids was pretty clear now, Gray could easily kill without even knowing he does so. Matthew then said: "I do often play with him anyway, just not on buisness trips."

[lupins]

"Really? He seemed fine around me, just like a normal horse." Snow said, genuinely surprised that the horse could kill. She hadn't expected anything of the sort, considering how kindly the horse reacted to her being close to him. "He seems like a nice horse, does he normally well, hurt people?"

[SecretShadows]

Matthew nods saying: "He is friendly, like unsaid it's mainly playful behaviour but he has hurt a few of the stable boys and my sister ones when they tried playing with him... normally petting him should be fine but most people realized he wish to play so try doing so... He has also accidentally killed a child that way, he doesn't normally hurt people no but he can." Matthew stood up and said: "I can show you what I mean." He made his way to the door to leave.
