The Stables: Friday night

After leaving his room, Karal had brought Florian down to the stables. While they were nice, they were hardly up to Companion standards. "I'm sorry they're not better," he said as he prepared the stall next to Trenor.

Florian shook his head. :I don't mind. This will be an adventure, of sorts. Rolan on the other hand...:

Karal burst out laughing, and Florian whickered with amusement, the sound filling the stables and ringing out through the open doors.

Companions rarely spoke of such things, so he chose his words with care. :It is a measuring, a balancing, to find if the person has that in them which would make a Herald. As for regret...: He turned to look at Karal. :No, I don't regret it.:

"Do you only get one chance to Choose?" Inara wasn't sure whether she was prying into a private area or not. "Will you be alone forever?"

Florian whickered with laughter. :I am not alone. There is an entire herd of Companions, and I have friends. Some Companions never Choose, and I suspect I will be one of them. I guess you could say a different life chose me.:

"Which life is that?" She was strangely relieved to know the beautiful creature wouldn't be alone for his entire life.

:Valdemaran advisor - and friend - to a Karsite Sun-Priest,: he chuckled. :And that is a first for any Companion, in any time, but it was needed.:

"How do you decide what life you want?" She asked.

:In this case, the Companions decided and Rolan asked for volunteers. I was chosen from among them. You have to understand that Companions have fared rather badly at the hands of the Karsites in the past.: He turned his head to glance at Rolan, almost as if seeking permission, before continuing. :Which is why he asked us to volunteer, rather than simply picking one of us.:

"You must be very brave," she said quietly.

He shook his head, making his ears flap. :Not really,: he said, mindvoice teasing. :It turns out Karal doesn't eat babies or Companions!:

Inara blushed, then remembered the alternate meaning. This was a difficult adjustment. "No, he's a good man."

:And a true priest.: Florian nudged her gently. :You could work on my mane, if you wouldn't mind.:

"Of course," she laughed, then started brushing his mane.

:My thanks. Hwin and I are going for a run on the beach tomorrow.: He arched his neck and pranced in place. :A Companion should look his best.:
