hoofbeats on my mind

It was nice for the male to speak to someone who roughly knew what they were talking about. He'd learned the basics of riding from Liliana, but had taught himself the rest of his equine knowledge he had gleaned from books and the little experiance he had had with dealing with Hermes and Arete. It was okay once he got used to it, but it was also benefitial to the male to know that there were others out here who had perhaps a little more experiance than he did. She spoke of Phoenix Valley and Saul searched her gaze for the moment, trying to figure out if she missed the valley as much as some others did. "Do you enjoy your job in Ichika?" He enquired, wondering if she was content in her role in Ichika, whether she enjoyed doing what she did. She glanced at Hermes again and Saul took a moment to look at him. He was perhaps only 2 years old and had some growing to do, but he would estimate that he stood at a rough 15hh with room to grow. He wasnt the hugest horse he'd ever seen, but when fully grown he could see the horse expanding to a nice 16-17hh. It was a good height, especially when carrying the male.

"Thank you. I found him out in the dampwoods, lost and alone. Along with Arete... Unfortunately, her mother had been attacked and was dead. She was curled up by her mothers side. I reckon she'd be about eight or nine months old, although she's undernourished from being on her own. They both have a bit of spirit to them..."

He chuckled, realising far too late that he had rambled at the female. A sheepish grin made him turn back to Hermes and watch as he came to a walk once more. He looked okay, Saul paid critical attention to his hooves and legs, trying to gauge whether he favoured a hoof or not. Saul thought not. However, the female spoke once more announcing that she had to go and tend the other animals. Saul nodded softly, wondering why she upped and left as she did. Gathering the lunge rope up in his arms, Saul bought the black and white horse over to him. As he did so, he looked back to see Adonia on the other side of the fence, but she hadn't move away. With a smile Saul swung himself easily up onto Hermes' back, riding towards the female.

"Why don't we go on a ride Adonia? You could go and grab your horse and we could have a ride around the valley..."

He suggested with a shrug. Unclipping the lunge rope of the horses head collar, Saul desposited the coiled rope on the fence post and waited to see if Adonia would get her horse and join him.
