Woo!!! Let's get to fixing the house! Big Grin Sorry for making you wait hun Sad WC: 770

The young patchwork girl had been up since dawn, she had been playing around the lands, having a casual hunt for Liam, she hadn't seen him, not properly since the fight that she, the white Aniwayan female and he had had with the guardians, she had known that he had been off to fight in the war, and knew that he was alive, but she had not really had a chance to talk to him properly since. Alas he had been nowhere to be found, so the young female had walked towards the stables in search of her other beloved friend, Scarlett. The young girl had grown a lot in the recent weeks, almost standing at her adult height now, already she was almost taller than her mother, something that amused her greatly. Her mane had grown as well, it was now bouncing around her shoulders, the long brown curls and waves blew gently in the breeze as she walked. Soon enough the young girl found herself at the stables and Scarlett raised her large head, giving a whinny in greeting to the patchwork Major. Robin smiled at the large butter cream coloured mare and gave a wave, the mare watched her with large, intelligent brown eyes and tossed her head. Someone had already been in and placed a bridle upon the female horse; today was going to be a challenge for the young female and her equine companion, Robin had ridden her the day that they had run away from Aniwaya, it had been a haphazard escape with her ebony pelted great grandmother clinging to the reins and panicking a great deal. They had both had no idea what they had been doing, swaying wildly on the bare back of the large mare, both clinging to whatever they could get hold of in order to stay upright. But now Robin was determined to attempt another ride, the mare was not wearing a saddle, but she had not been the day that Robin had first ridden her and she did not see the point. The girl smiled at the mare and opened the stable door, hitching the quiver on her back into a more comfortable place, it held the bow from her great grandmother and some arrows, it was a precious possession and since the war Robin was almost never seen without it. Carefully the patchwork girl took the pale female's reins and lead her outside, moving her towards a stable looking mounting block, an object that was tall enough for the young wolf to stand upon and clamber onto the mare's back. She took a deep breath and clambered onto the mare's back, moving so that she was sitting comfortably; luckily Scarlett was compliant and very patient, so she didn't make any sudden movements.

With a gentle kick the patchwork girl nudged the female on, who began a slow gait, Robin wobbled here and there but ultimately managed to stay on the horse's back, she grinned and let out a little victory cry as they went. This spurred Scarlett into a faster gait, a much more bouncy one that caused Robin to wobble from side to side, she clung to the reins and attempted to stay on the mare's back, somehow it worked. Soon enough she was relaxed in this new bouncy gait, bouncing along with the butter cream mare as they bounced along towards Lunenburg, although the little female was doing alright on her own she thought that some tuition would be needed before she tried to ride more often; her first thought had been of her uncle, he had always been very good with horses and often he was found in Lunenburg. She pulled the reins slightly, directing the mare towards the city, grinning and giggling as they padded along. Soon enough they reached the city and as luck would have it there was her uncle, Robin tugged at the reins as she had seen her father do when he wanted Drogon to slow or stop. She grinned and her tail began to wag, thumping slightly against Scarlett's side as her masked uncle came into view, riding the familiar dark horse, Hawthorn. She gripped the reins in one hand and raised the other muted grey hand in greeting.
“Hello there Uncle Alder!” She called cheerfully, waving at her uncle. In her childlike excitement to see her uncle she did not notice the damage that had been done to the houses of the area, though no doubt she would see them soon enough and then she would be more than happy to help her uncle fix the damage.
