- sorry for the delay, folks! it's been a very hot/long weekend ':)
HowlingHooves also ty for the kind words! I also have to say your loyalty to glacier is commendable. the old guy is so fickle with his rolls alskdjjfh
xxxwhen you dismount outside the stables, glacier parks himself in front of the hitching post and gives you a baleful look, making you think he would stand here even without being tied. even so, you tied him to the post before heading inside to say hello to some of the other horses, most of which nudge your arms and beg for scratches to be itched or treats. when you go to leave, you spot a couple of tokens in a wheelbarrow. congrats, you found 2 apple tokens!
NeverEndingEmbers
xxxas you wander through the stables, saying hello to all of the horses and chatting with some of the staff, you realize a time has practically flown by. when you turn to hurry and go check on max, you find him instead untied and halfway inside an empty stable, nudging an empty bucket around. laughing, you go to grab the bucket, and realize it wasn't empty at all! congrats, you found 2 apple tokens!

xxxwhile crocus is her usual fiery self today, she also seems inclined to listen and slow down when you ask, and all too happy to speed up when you decide you'd like to feel the wind on your face, too. when you reach the top of the mountain, she even stares out over everything as if admiring the view with you. when you two turn around to head home, you spot a couple different tokens on your way back. congrats, you found 1 apple token and 1 heart token!
paradise,
xxxafter a staff member hands you a treat, you offer it to a nearby horse. she's a dark golden shade of palomino, with a blaze that seems oddly familiar. you give her a quick scratch before you leave, and when you return to leto, you realize the horse in the stable was a spitting image of her. delighted, you give leto a treat, too, and when you go to climb back into the saddle, you find a token waiting sitting on the seat. congrats, you found 1 heart token!
Temper
xxxpercival takes it slow as you both follow the trail, but you find that you enjoy it because you can stare at the rosy rocks that line the path. they're quite beautiful, especially sparkling in the sun like that! when you stop for a break and to admire the view, percival nudges at a nearby bush. on closer inspection, you realize someone tucked some tokens in between the leaves! congrats, you found 1 apple token and 2 heart tokens!

xxxthe view is lovely, but once you get to the top, glacier turns on his own and starts plodding back down the trail. you got to the top, that means to him that it's time to go back home. the sun is starting to sink low, anyway. however, when you get close to the bottom another horse appears from between the trees. congrats, you found a common random horse!

xxxthe rosy trails ends in a lovely view. not quite as grand as the one from the top of the mountain, but overlooking a lovely, flower-filled meadow. when you and max turn to weave your way back through the rosy granite rocks, max seems to catch a scent on the wind. he doesn't spook, so the two of you continue. as it turns out, there was another horse waiting for you on the trail ahead! congrats, you found a very common random horse!

xxxsun sparkles on the granite, throwing bits of light onto king's legs as he picks his way carefully through the trail. there's no other horses here, and he's on his best behavior because of it. halfway through the trail he even stops, rather purposefully, next to a big boulder so that you can see the tokens left atop it. congrats, you found 2 heart tokens!

xxxas you head up the trail, someone calls out from behind you. it's one of rattle creek's staff members, also out for a little ride. smiling, they tell you they know a cool place up here. you and leto follow along, and the staff member takes you between a pair of spindly trees. here, the granite is even bigger - massive rosy boulders that arch over leto's head. the staff member smiles and points out a token before leaving you to explore. when you go to leave, a different horse is picking it's way through the rocks towards you, neighing a greeting. congrats, you found an uncommon random horse and 1 heart token!
the areas have refreshed and day 5 is now open!
