Private for Regner! Set in the Mysterious Forest, roughy 4:00 pm
This time of day had come as a personal favorite, the air was cold and brisk, her breath came in clouds of steam. There was no wind to chill her bones. Yet the outdoors never seemed to close. She was out near the woods, quietly creeping around to make sure her horse was nearby. She whistled a three note tune, and heard the clip-clop of hooves nearby. Selene cooed softly in quiet Italian, not quiet loud enough to hear. She parted Uka's nose and proceeded to pull herself up over the massive back of the Clydesdale. The young hybrid had the upper hand on a beautiful view of the forest, sprinkled in frost and light snow. The cold was resented, but the sight put out for just her eyes was intriguing.
That morning Sel had remembered to take her sword and now along with her, each someway strapped to her lean back. Maybe she'd be able to bring down some game, take it back to the courthouse for someone to cook. Food wasn't something she usually got for herself, food wasn't something to be used in self indulgence, it had to be divided up equally with most of Casa di Cavalieri. The only things she seemed to take notice of were a couple of hares, with their ivory winter pelts and large ears. She managed to shoot a couple from her mount atop the horse, satisfied with her pickings, the young woman took a rest. She let Uka wander from the place they had stopped. Whenever called, he'd come running.
The trees were threadbare, clear of any leaves and empty. The bark was an ugly mottled grey that wasn't do easy on the eyes. The youth resented even the unpleasant things of winter. Part of her couldn't wait for spring to come, to see green shoots popping from a dead ground. So see color once again. The young woman let herself half sit, half lay leaning against one of those ugly trees. Quietly daydreaming and thinking. Her thoughts often went to Hadley, the muscular and gentle hybrid she met a while ago. Whom she had confessed and then felt like an idiot for her little secret given out. She didn't care if Uka wandered away, she'd have a blast running after him. Eyes studied the terrain around her, unsure of where she was and which way she came from.
