Reva sighed softly as she picked up the thick, worn leather bridal off the hanging rack in the small equipment room, making her way to Gala's stall. The elegant, imported mare whinnied and tossed her petite head, prancing in circles as Reva silenced her by slipping the thick bridal over her head. 'Now, now there. You mustn't be too loud, for, we wouldn't want to make the other horses upset, would we?' Her voice was gentle and slightly teasing as she stroked the young mare's mane. The mare happened to be a gift from a distant aunt to the family, but Reva had taken the most to the pretty, but stubborn mare. They were a wonderful pair anyways, as they had many similarities in persona.Reva then secured the bridal over the mare's head before heading back to the equipment room to retrieve the remainder of the mare's riding equipment before glancing around, sighing gently to herself before she slowly opened the stall door and led the mare out. Reva always found moments to take Gala out, it was pretty much a routine in the mornings. Sighing softly once more, she smoothed the mare's forehead out and grabbed a brush, dusting some dust from the mare's side. This was typically a servant's job, but Reva tended to think for herself and wanted to do things independently.
Rosaline walked Onyx back to the stables, her hair massy in a pretty way. She stayed with her horse for a little while, petting him, but soon gave him over to a servant boy. She wouldn't want her father finding her here, doing a servant's work.
Rose pulled her hood down low over her face and rode out on Onyx to the marketplace.
Solaire arrived at the stables with Rosaline on the back of his horse. "Woah, boy." He slowed the horse to a trot as he approached. He dismounted.
Rosaline sobbed. "You did not even let me get Onyx. What if he is dead by now?" She got off the horse clumsily, her vision blurred by tears.
"With all due respect, my lady, I didn't trust you to ride back to the castle by yourself." He paused and adopted a heavy tone. "I'm sorry, but Onyx is just a horse. Besides, her instincts would tell her to run away from a fire as well."
"She's gone," she sobbed. "I hate you!" Rosaline didn't mean it, but she was extremely angry at him at that point. All the same, her knees buckled beneath her and she sat where she was, holding her head in her hands. She took a few deep breaths. "I did not mean that."
Solaire just stood silent, looking at her. He thought of his past kingdom, and how it had been burned to the ground, along with his house and family. He was glad that he was wearing his helmet, because his eyes were full of tears.
"It might have burned down Jake's place... Him and his sister..." She trailed off. Rosaline glanced up at Solaire. "What?" She asked, her voice softer. "What's wrong?"
He took a moment to collect himself before answering. "No, nothing's wrong." His voice cracked. "You're safe now, and that's what matters most."
Rosaline stood up. "Something is wrong I can tell. Tell me." She put a hand on his upper arm, trying to comfort him although she knew he didn't like her.
Solaire felt slightly awkward, being comforted by a princess. "It's nothing," he said. "We should probably tell his majesty about this. You had better come with." Get over it, Solaire. There are more important things at stake.
She sighed, nodding. "Okay," she choked out. "I understand." Rosaline had a little bit of a problem with her bodyguards when they didn't even care about her, didn't even try to get to know her.
After tying up his horse, Solaire headed for the throne room, still thinking about his family.
Rosaline followed him quietly, crying gently. She did not want to face her parents about this, but knew she had to.
Solaire wasted no time in untying his horse. He mounted with a jump, and yelled the horse into action. The horse galloped towards the town.

Val order a her horse Lily be saddled as soon as she was Val mounted her and road to the lake
Gwendolyn approached the stables. She stared straight ahead following her nose. The smell of manure had stopped bothering her years ago. She had to find Winter. The pinto that had made her blind. She never resented that horse. Instead they had become friends of a sort. She tapped on the doors of all the stalls until she heard a response tap. "Hey Winter. How are you boy?" She reached out a hand and waited for Winter to come to her.
Mod
"I'm sure Penelope. I trust Winter completely. However if it makes you feel better you can lead the horse." Gwen was used to being babied and she hated it but if it allowed her to do what she wanted to do then fine.
Mod
Gwen measured the height and and mounted Winter with ease. "I'm ready when you are Penelope."
Mod
Gwen shook her head at being called Miss but she responded politely all the same, "just around the grass for a little bit please. I don't want to be out here too long."
Mod
"Not recently. But I trust him. When he trampled me it wasn't intentional. All of the horses were scared but Winter was the only one that couldn't get out of his stall. When I let him out he trampled me and stomped on my eyes causing me to go blind. He didn't mean it though."

Val then leaves to go talk to Robb she knew why she was throwing up.

Penelope greeted the crown princess with a curtsy. "You are very forgiving, Gwendolyn" she complimented.
((What just happened? I couldn't check this yesterday and now I only see three posts and I can tell quite a bit is missing.)"I try. Penelope? How dark is it?" Gwendolyn said. She had a sinking feeling that she had stayed out too long and would have to walk through the halls of the castle while the torches mocked her.
Lynessa found herself in the stables, rubbing Lady's forehead. The mare was impeccable, as usual, and nickering. She was antsy for a ride. And so was Lynessa. With a smile, she grabbed the mare's gleaming leather bridle and matching saddle. She swung the saddle pad over and placed the saddle on top. Patting her mare's neck, she fastened the girth and began to work on fastening the bridle.
With a sigh, Lynessa hopped off Lady, the mare's coat lathered with sweat. Lynessa leads the horse over to the lake and begins untacking her. She lays the saddle and bridle out and lets Lady wander into the shallow water hole.
Mod
((@Maggie, watcha mean?))
((@Kimi never mind I misread one of the posts and got confused.))"Forgive and forget Penelope. It is all I can do. By the way how dark is it?" Gwendolyn said. She had a sinking feeling that she had stayed out too long and would have to walk through the halls of the castle while the torches mocked her.
Mod
"Well in that case I would quite like to get back inside Penelope." Gwendolyn ran a hand through Winter's mane.
Mod
Gwen climbed down and waited to hear the click of the stall door before speaking again. "Penelope? Would you grab my walking stick please?"
Mod
Elmina, now changed out if her dress, gets on her black horse. "I need to find a name for you" she says softly as she strokes her soft mane and she rides off, heading to the Forrest.
Elmina rides in from the forest and dismounts at the entrance. She takes the saddle, the same color as her horse, black as night and leads her into the stables and leaves.
Elmina goes into the stables and shows Katie the horse that is black as the night on a starless night and says "See that one? That one is my horse. We will be riding her to the forest."
Katie looked at the horse. "Horsie!" She said as her face lit up.
Elmina smiles and sets Katie down. She puts the saddle on her horse and says "You know, my horse doesn't have a name yet. Would you like to help me name her?"
She nodded. She thought about a name.
Elmina could see Katie was thinking so she brought her horse out and picked Katie up.
She looked at the horse. "Uh.... Mwidnwight.."
"That's a perfect name!" Elmina said smiling. She put Katie gently down on the saddle and mounted 'Midnight' behind her. "Are you ready?" Elmina asked.
Katie nodded with excitement. Good thing her head was attached. It would have flown off if it wasn't.
