Outside the dorms: Thursday morning

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Trenor was a very good horse, obedient and well-behaved, but he was also bored, tired of being stuck in the stable, and missing Karal. After several days of fidgeting, he finally worked out how to lift the latch on his stall door, and that would be why there was currently a horse in front of the dorms.

He'd tried to get into the building, but the doors were shut and apparently horse proof, so after a long sigh, he'd settled in to graze.

[ooc: open if you want to pat/feed/try and catch the horse. ETA, just FYI, while he is wearing a halter in the picture, he is in fact NAKED on the lawn! No halter, no nothing! Naaaaaked!]

Trenor stood patiently. For awhile. Then he started to fidget, digging a very small hole in the lawn with one front hoof. If Karal were there, he'd get in trouble for that, but maybe this person didn't know he wasn't supposed to do stuff like that.

River didn't pay attention to the digging, as she was completely focused on the braiding. To stop the fidgeting she began to sing softly to the horse.

He quit fidgeting, and swivelled his ears, turning his head to look at her.

Singing was new.

Taking that as a sign of appreciation the singing, River continued. The mane was now completely braided in a rather complex fashion, witha number of small red bows holding everything together.

Fascinated by the singing, he shook his head and started sniffing her hair, trying figure out where the sound was coming from.

"You can't eat my hair," River told him patiently. Berthold had tried once after all.

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

No, but he could try. He lipped at it, just in case it was good.

River stopped singing and glared at him.

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

He nudged her shoulder, trying to make the singing come back.

River was relieved that Trenor had stopped attacking her hair, but didn't quite understand that the nudging was a request for more singing. She patted him instead.

There didn't seem to be any more treats forthcoming, and the singing had stopped. With one last nudge, Trenor started to wander away, dropping his head to graze.

And River turned and headed towards the dorms.
