Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Probably check in on the rest of the children," Donovan murmured, "And then see to my bags, I brought more than what I need for a trip out, so will probably have to resort it for the trip tomorrow."

Then which probably left him to wander around a bit more, because otherwise he had nothing to do. Which was a bit odd when this was a place he owned.

"Can I go wander?" Lin asked Donovan.
"As long as you don't bug anyone."

Donovan waved back, "See you in the morning then."

With that Donovan turned to go back where he had saw Aliya and the twins during his tour. After all it would be good to see how the two were faring and how Aliya was faring with them.

Even at their height horses were big creatures, and Feng and Ryu knew what would happened if the horses became spooked. It was probably the equalitive to pissing off Arc Ryu supposed.

The two climbed over the fence, in a very odd unison that they rarely did unless told to do the same thing they approached the horses from the side. It was odd to see Feng take things slow, but perhaps because she was gaining the pace from her brother, even though neither of them seemed aware they were matching each other step by step. Cautioniously they held their hand out to the creatures, wavering it there for a moment before gently petting them.

"Good," Aliya nodded, walking slowly around them. "Stand on the left side of the horse. Always always always mount from the left."

She honestly didn't know why that was, but for some reason horses always shied away when someone tried to mount from the right.

She ran, ran as quickly as she could across the area to reach the large building that she could not miss. Then again at her height it was pretty hard to miss any of the buildings. Unfortunately there was something Lin forgot.

The door.

The little girl glared up at it as if she expected it to open. Didn't look like it would.

Of course they would have to be shown, since they weren't going to be using saddles. Ryu studied the area, before looking at the horse. He supposed his only discomfort was wondering how horses would take to being mounted in the first place, but they were going to have to get up either way.

"Did your Dad threaten to lock you in the house after that?" Feng asked as she placed her hand on the area where she wanted to put her butt.

Aliya blinked. "Lock me in the house?" she repeated. "Why in Arda would he do something like that? I mean, Mum refused to heal me, so I was kind of stuck in the house for half a year anyways, but still ..."

Going back to the topic of horses, she added, "Normally you would grab both sides of the saddle to help yourself, and you would have a foothold in a stirrip for a lift - bareback you have neither of those. You have to get up on your own."

She eyed the twins thoughtfully. "You're tall .. you shouldn't have too much trouble with it. Would you like me to show you first?"



Elros blinked at Lin, and for the first time in a very long time, his face took on an expression - he was confused.

"I ... am not," he replied slowly, puzzled. "May I enquire as to why?"

Lin looked at him innocnetly enough, which wasn't hard for her even though she wouldn't want to admit cuteness had a factor into it.

"Daddy says I can't go bug people, people get bugged more if they're working."
