Eiyuu Kishi Den

Jeren watched quietly from the back. He and horses didn't have good relationships. They had a different personality from Wyverns. Jeren and Nightfire loved the rush, acrobatics, the dangers of flight. A horse had fear where a wyvern begged for more. There was a passion in a dragon mount that no horse could hope to attain. In this stable, the domesticality of them was a sordid reminder of that.

Lin watch Gregory with a piss off look. He couldn't understand what most people was saying, but someone elso calling his name and also cute was something Lin did not like. He moved around, but Amara was holding him. He already was piss for being in the stables and now had weird people around him.

Amara watch Lin and pet him softly. She could see that he was starting get rude and ready to attack. She smile at Gregory while petting Lin. "Okay." She said as she turned to Lin and whisper something in his ear. She then looked at Gregory and Thalia, who was talking and back at Jeren. She slightly to him and turn back around to Lin.

xeonith wrote:"Lin huh, its a cute name. Just hold onto him for a couple of more minutes and I will give him a go to see where he is at in his training." Gregory said with a genuine smile, then turning to Thalia."Are there any specific things you would like me to work on with Nyn or just do the normal run through with her?"

Today is a good day. He thought to himself as he smiled at the priestess after asking his question.

"Yes, just do her normal exercises," Thalia replied. As Amara spoke, she glanced over at the young woman and her horse and immediately noticed Lin's laid back ears and the whites showing in his eyes. She knew little of horses, but she knew when one looked angry. Nyn seemed to pick up on it too, and the white mare steeped anxiously to the side, tossing her head. "Gregory, will you need some help?"

She knew little of horses, but she knew when one looked angry. Nyn seemed to pick up on it too, and the white mare steeped anxiously to the side, tossing her head. "Gregory, will you need some help?"

Looking in the direction of Thalias nervous gaze Gregory smiled. “No, I should be able to handle him he just needs to learn discipline. It will just take a little longer to work him because I will have to get him good and tired first.”

With that said the young man stuck his tongue out in challenge to Nyn before walking back to Berz to wrap up his exercises. Gregory always enjoyed a challenge to see who would give up first trainer or horse.

It was only a matter of a few more minutes to finish with Berz and Gregory was covered by a thin sheet of sweat. He put the large stallion away quickly and walked over to the waiting Amara and her petulant pony.

“How about I take you next my little friend?” He asked Nyn with a mischievous smile.

At being spoken too, the little white mare tossed her head and stomped a hoof, almost in challenge to the trainer. Thalia giggled lightly at Nyn's reaction.

Moving on to Lin, which was an adventure in itself, Gregory did his best to keep control and train the best he could. By the time the battle of trainer and aggravated horse was over both were exhausted, covered in sweat and dirt, and ready for dinner. The young man had been hoping to get to work with all the horses today but that ended up not being the case with how exhausted he was. Trainer had won the war but horse was pleased with his fighting and would fight again another day.

"I think we should clean things up and go get something to eat, I apologize for not being on top of my game today Lady Thalia I wont be able to work with Nyn after all.” With a few bite marks and a limp from a kick he had received from Lin, Gregory proceeded back to the barn with horse in tow.

"That's fine," Thalia waved dismissively. Lin was a lot of work, after all. As Gregory led Lin back to his stall, she led Nyn back to hers. It was getting late, and there were issues to discuss about finding this Nat fellow, and arranging business with Jeren. As Thalia stabled Nyn again, her mind was working on the upcoming journey. She felt a little sorry for Jeren, he seemed to have no interest in watching all the training, but he stood out there anyway, patiently. Thalia felt a little bad for leaving him to such boredom. She would also have to tend to Gregory's leg after that kick he received. It didn't seem to be anything serious, but it hurt bad enough to make him limp.

Once Nyn was locked away, Thalia went to Gregory's side after Lin was locked in his stall, albeit unhappy about that. "Gregory, let me see your leg," she said, kneeling down in front of him.

Amara was a bit suprise by how good Gregory was handling Lin, but still, she was afraid that the man was going to get hurt, and by the looks at the result after the training, he was. She frowned as she watch him lead Lin back to the stables with a little limp. She wabbled over and sigh. "I am sorry. I wish he wasn't so stuborn." She told Gregory. She looked at Lin and frown at the white stallion. She then walked back into the inn.

Lin was impress by what Gregory accomplish, but this act just made him made. As he lead the tired horse back to stables, he becamse angry, then furious in less than one minute. The horse was tired, but he had a plan for the next time he saw the man. His thoughts quickly led him back to his owner. Her voice was wonderful to hear and it calm the horse down, but he soon became angry again as he saw that Amara was frowning at him. He made small noice as the woman left and quickly looked back at Gregory with rage in his eyes.

Gregory had had enough of horses for today his leg hurt along with countless other muscles but when Thalia knelt in front of him his heart melted. “My lady you shouldn’t kneel for me I am just a farm boy.” He reached down and touched her arms to help her stand. It was the few times he had ever physically touched her.

“If you wish to heal my aches perhaps we should wait until we get back inside the inn where you can sit properly?”

"Hold on. It's no trouble," Thalia said, refusing his offer to stand. "Holy Marfa, grant me the power to heal this good man's wounds," she prayed and a holy light glowed about her hands as her healing spell took effect. Soon, the pain subsided in Gregory's leg and the welt healed. Her superiors would probably chastise her for using her gift on such a minor injury, but she wouldn't feel right letting him limp about. Once his wound was healed, Thalia stood back up and brushed off her robes. "There, all done."

Jeren smiled at all that ensued. While the dragon knight freely admitted he was useless around anything with hooves, the trainers of Moss were far more wary of their mounts' attitudes. Of course, there is a great difference between the deadly potential between a horse and a Wyvern. It wasn't unknown for the wild wyverns to be capable of hunting and killing men. Horses hunted grass, a much easier to catch foe, Jeren imagined, and probably required a less deadly killer.

Amara walked into the common room and sat down to their table. She rest her hand on her stomach and started to rub it. She sigh softly and looked down at her stomach.

Gregory blushed deeply as the priestess healed his leg and then he stammered, "Th thank you Lady Thalia we should go back inside I need a bath and we should decide what to do next."
With that said Gregory turned on his heels and practically fled the area back to the inn house.

Thalia smiled as Gregory hurried back to the inn. Even she wasn't oblivious to the attraction he was harboring, and though she usually felt frustrated by all the attention she got, for some reason she wasn't as bothered when it came from Gregory. Before she joined him inside though, she turned to the very irritated stallion in the stall next to her. Turning to face Lin, Thalia clasped her hands in prayer; "Holy Marfa, let your peace and love descend on this beast. Give him comfort."

The blessing overtook Lin and the horse began to quiet. Thalia hoped that the peaceful feeling would last him through the night. After doing all she could for the horse, Thalia turned back toward the inn. Jeren was the only one left outside, and a little awkwardly, Thalia gave him a nod and a smile, then headed in his direction. "Let's go back inside and discuss how to pursue this missing lover of Amara's, hmm?" she said to the dragonrider.

Jeren nodded, pulling his arms behind his back. "Quite," he replied, taking up her side as they headed back in. "That is some gift you have there, miss."
