so what is the plan for this thread?
Shanta steered Belle through the trees. She kept her at a walk to keep from tiring her. She mainly let Belle decide where they were going, just keeping her from going to far or leading her around rocks or trees. She felt rather nervous around Echo, though she kept her emotions locked behind a cool facade. She sorted through her mind, thinking of questions and such to ask him. She watched birds fly and animals run as she rode through the forest.
They came to a break in the trees. The trees turned into an open field, the sun shone down on them and Shanta flinched a little. She looked for where the forest began again, steering Belle that way. "So, how long have you been in AniWaya?" she asked breaking a silence. They finally came to the trees and she relaxed a bit.
