He gave a small chuckle at her obvious annoyance. Tristan started down the steps after Kaya, petting the ferret every now and then on the way down. He loved how soft the animals fur was. Once he had reached the bottom he went out into the courtyard to find a white stallion waiting for them. He was a beautiful animal and Tristan had always had a soft spot for animals.

He walked up to the stallion, quite unafraid and reached up to stroke his soft warm neck. A soft expression showed on his face as he gave the stallion his full attention. "Hello lovely." He glanced back towards Kaya, his expression unchanged. "He is a beautiful animal. I would hate to make him ride double. Perhaps instead we could take turns walking?" He hated to make the stallion work harder than he had to. As much as he could tell Kaya didn't want him with her, he needed to find out just how much the world had changed since he had been asleep. A soft wind was blowing and made his hair ripple slightly. He took in a deep breath and closed his eyes with pleasure. The sun outlined his figure, making him even more handsome, not that he was aware of this. It felt so good to get out of that infernal tower! He looked back to Kaya again and gave her a real smile.

"It feels wonderful out here. Do you mind if we find a place away from this dreadful tower before I tell you my story?" His arrogance had faded and there was nothing left but politeness left in his voice. He absentmindedly stoked horse and ferret at the same time as he waited for her answer.
