Io eyed Strider carefully as he stood separate from the herd. She'd noticed his out of place dominance before, and as Neo was thankfully a docile male as standard, it had never escalated past anything but a harsh bray in the outsiders direction. Unlike Frodo, Io always prefered a horse that was quick to train. Her harsh personality when it came to such things was not built for endurance and the woman was adamant when it came to efficiency.
The hybrid stayed at the mare's side diligently, petting her soaked snout gently as she made herself comfy upon a small mounting block, she'd put in here earlier. Just out of the way far enough in case she got jumpy. Silver eyes turned towards Frodo, flicking back to Rio once she'd regarded him. 'Rio' she answered, 'Her name is Rio'. She hadn't been given a name before Io had taken up the position of Elan Soquili, so Io, refusing to refer to her as 'that one' and occasionally 'the grey mare', had titled her Rio. A city in Southern America as far as she knew.
Io frowned, ready to relay loose instructions, 'I think we should stand back and watch for a while. Odds are things will work out fine, but just in case, we will watch. Make sure you keep an inch or so of hay everywhere, as a cushion'. Taking the blankets from him, she placed them beside her and waited patiently.
