Welcome to Gaia! ::

Stall Locations:

Near the back of the stables-- Alucina

Not far from that (two stalls forward, same side)-- Orin

Across from the grey stallion-- Fera

Owned Horses:

Sunshade- Temperamental and regal, Sunshade's difficult to handle for a lot of people, but doesn't tend to give Muris too much trouble.

Zora- Elegant, Zora can be a little finicky if she's not pampered enough, but is generally a rather gentle and mild-mannered mare.

Orin- Lazy. Orin seems to enjoy eating a lot, and likes to nibble at people's hair. Otherwise, he's very laid back.

Nimlote- Finicky to a T. She's just like her owner- manipulative, competitive, and has to have things just -so-.

Fera- Doesn't like males, and tends to have quite as much spirit as Sunshade.

Altaea- Unclaimed

Dearg- Unclaimed

Alucina- Very sweet, this is the one that Muris has her eye on, though she hasn't mentioned it to anybody but Alces.

Unowned Horses:

Palomino male- Very spirited-- nearly hurt himself with impatience when he wasn't walked early enough.

Dappled grey stallion- Very nice, gets along with Alucina, tends to be a bit mild-mannered

Now that he had had a few days to rest and regain his strength from the change, Alces was on his way to visit his horse. In one hand he held a carrot or two that he planned to give him.

As he entered the stables, Alces began humming to himself as he passed the other stalls, heading towards the back of the stables to his horse's stall. He eyed a few of the other horses as he passed them, continuing to hum to himself until he got a feeling that someone else besides the horses was here. He stopped his humming and scanned the interior of the stables, watching for any sign of another Fey. At last, he noticed Muris and smiled, "Hello Muri!" He gave a friendly wave and stopped once he arrived at the door to Orin's stall.

The young man knelt down as she hugged him to return the hug. With a nod he replied, "Yes, that is what I am here for." He smiled wider and held out the carrots for the young girl to see, "I even brought him a treat! I hope he likes them. I don't know if you've fed him carrots before or anything." he began to stand up again and held out the second one, "Would you like this one? You could give it to that horse you would like!" He suggested happily. Glancing over at Orin who was currently standing in his stall, staring at the two of them; being lazy as he usually was. Alces shook his head at Orin and let out a small half-laugh type noise at the horse before turning his gaze back to Muris.

He gave a nod to Muris and grinned towards his horse, "And this one would obviously get fat if given too many treats since he is one of the laziest horses." He laughed as Orin snorted as if denying the fact that he would become fat before lunging for the carrot that Alces hadn't even held out for him yet.

Alces had to take a step back to avoid having his hand bitten and blinked at the horse, "We are going to need to go for a ride today." he told the horse as he held out the carrot and the horse hungrily ate it; despite the fact it had just eaten breakfast.

As Orin was happily eating the carrot Alces smiled over at Muris and commented, "That's a very pretty name."

"I wouldn't be surprised if he got mad." He laughed and then leaned up against the door of the stall to give the horse a pat as he ate his carrot. "But he's going to go out for one anyway." He looked at Muris again and nodded, "Yes, yes he has been. In fact, the other day he actually galloped longer than just a few seconds willingly! Of course, once he saw a very green patch of grass he stopped to try and eat it, but I managed to get him going again. Have you ever taken that future horse of yours out for a ride?"

He glanced over towards his horse, who was just finishing up the carrot and eyeing Alces' fur around his neck and arms. Alces noticed this and took a step away from the stall and continued to smile at Muris.

After giving it some thought he suggested, "Well, I could ride with you if you like. What would I have to do? Ride on the horse with you, or walk beside the horse?"

He gave Orin a little push on the nose to keep the horse from taking a bite out of his neck fur and shook his head, "He needs to learn how to listen. She's right you know. No more treats if you keep trying to eat me!"

The horse just snorted and backed into his stall a bit to watch the other two, everyonce in a while glancing back at the tasty looking fur and now Muris' hair as well.

"That would work out well then. Since Orin needs to get some excersize...obviously." He looked at the horse that had begun inching his way up to the stall gate again, towards Alces and his fur.

"Would you be interested in riding now? Or had you intended to go some other time?" He asked curiously, and went to lean up against the gate again to give Orin a few pats. He seemed much more comfortable around horses now, eiter due to having gotten used to them because of Orin, or because he was now older.
