Arina blinked a moment seeing the fur disappear a moment but put it in the back of her mind believing she was just seeing things. "Well, that's good to hear, I'm sure the horses are ready for some exorcise, I mean the person I hired does the job well enough, but they don't get out much still." She went on as she made her way out the door and to the stables. "Well, most are pretty tame, but you I'm sure will find one you like easily." She said as she opened the stable door revealing several huge thoroughbreds. She walked up to a large black steed and petted his nose. "This is midnight, he's our most friendly upon first meeting, so if I'd suggest any it would be him." She spoke while nuzzling into his cheek showing him affection and he neighed softly. She smiled and pet him before going to grab the riding gear, though she hadn't looked at any of the horses in this room of the stable. She moved into the next, leaving the door ajar you could see there was no ordinary horse in there. The large stalion if you would call it, had what appeared to be silver, litterally, his main was pearl colored and she began to put the gear on him. She led him out into the main stable, his tail looked more like a lions and sticking from his brow, was a large horn. A unicorn. "This is Silber." she introduced to Janu. "He's a dear friend to me. I saved him, when he was little from some... not so friendly dragons. He's been here since" She explained knowing it was an odd site to see.

How beautiful..” She whispered as the unicorn was pulled outward, trying and failing to keep herself from thinking ‘just like her’. She turned, looking to midnight. She stroked behind one ear, whispering to the stallion “and so are you.” Even she wasn’t sure if she meant Midnight, arina, or both. The feline began to stroke down over Midnights neck, focusing first simply on connecting with the horse. She stroked him a moment longer but then began to gear him up. She remembered the motions easily, trying not to peak at Arina.

Arina though considerably smaller than the beast managed to get herself onto his back.Her cloack billowed out over his backside her one leg becoming exposed again as she refused to ride side saddle. She smiled back at Janu. Taking a moment to think how beautiful she looked. And on midnight she'd look like even more a princess. She'd have pulled out the carriage, but she would not have been able to take Silber then, he was not so good at working with the others, or living with them, that's why he got his own...room. She ran her fingers through his shining mane as she wated.

Janu finished then gently kissed the horses neck before speaking softly to it and slowly climbing on to it. She was always slow the first time, to let the horse get use to her. She figured it would be simply rude to do otherwise. She smiled softly to herself as she sat upon on it, not one to ride side saddle simply because it didn’t feel right.

She glanced over at arina to say she was ready when she noticed how the other woman was standing. She blushed and looked away, forcing herself to look at the horses Touching the horse’s neck she wordlessly directed it towards the door, biting her lip.

"Alrighty, lets go! I'll race you!" Arina said clicking her heels into the beast and it jolted forward. She was giggling and leaning forward letting him run to the end of the path to the main road and turned right towards the village. Though he was large and fast she took it a bit easy so that Janu could still keep up with her.

Janu laughed and shook her head, quickly squeezing gently with her legs to set the horse running. She leaned forward, grinning and pulling the silver comb from her hair before it could fall out. She put it in her belt then closed her eyes a moment, feeling her hair loosely fly behind her. It felt so good.

“You’re lucky I don’t cheat.” She teased, temporarily tempted to leap from midnight to right behind her. Her pale eyes were dancing as she looked forward, clearly not nearly so shy and guarded doing this. She smirked, playfully raising her arms and arching her back to enjoy the wind.

Arina chuckled slowing down as they got to the edge of town "I'm lucky huh?" She smiled and stretched out a but before regaining the reins in front of her "I'm not so scared of you cheating," She admitted "It'd give me a reason to use Silber to his full potential. He hasn't had that since..." she trailed off slightly before shutting her mouth for a second "before he left..." She said softly as they pulled up to the grocer.

Oh? We’ll see” She stated, watching as they reached the grocer’s. The feline then leaped, nimbly landing on Arina’s horse just behind her, sititng on the back of the saddle slightly. She gripped the other girl around the waist and teased, “no way to beat me if we get there at the same time.” She then, however, blushed and glanced away, not realizing she was still holding the other’s waist. She had thought of it but didn’t think her exuberance of riding again would quite get her to be so impulsive. “S…sorry” she whispered.

Arina smiled and kissed Janu's cheek. "I suppose that's very true." She smiled and let out a small laugh. "Alright lets tie up and get back. I'd love to get the cider warmed up and the meal made! I'm starving." she admitted blushing softly, she slid down off the beast but couldn't get past that noticing Janu had sat on her cloak. She let out another laugh. "Looks like you've caught me!" she joked.

Janu blushed at the kiss on her cheek, glancing to look towards the other girl. It…for some reason it made her own lips tingle. She glanced away, looking down as she realized the cloak was caught. As Arina spoke of it she laughed and stated softly “Told you…” Before leaping downward and releasing her cloak.

Blushing still the feline walked in next to her, her head down as she was once again her shy self. She couldn’t’ look up…too use to being judged harshly. She said nothing, simply staying near Arina.

Arina walked to the counter and paid the man there and thanked him giving him a smile and turned to Janu "Alright let's go home then love." She said and walked back out with the large jug of hard cider, putting it in one of the saddle bags on Silber. "That was pretty fast and easy haha." She smiled and jumped back up on the silver beast.

Janu nodded but simply followed, hopping onto midnight. She stroked his neck gently, glancing over at arina sheepishly. She then turned, starting the horse off without a word. She blushed still but laughed a little and glanced towards the other, thinking about that kiss on her cheek. For some reason the feeling of Arina’s lips simply wouldn’t leave her head.

Lukas pulled his black cloak over his shoulders the large Red stalion he was riding looked just like any other just large. It however of course was not normal, The jet black main blew in the wind as he raced down the roads, back towards home...or so he thought. His steed had been going so long that he had to rest, had to stop for a moment. He pulled off to the side of the road where there was a small lake and let the flaming red beast take it's fill.

Arina laughed and turned Silber to take off after her, easily keeping up, midnight of course was more than just a normal stalion she knew, he was an exceptional one, but still just that, a horse, while Silber easily caught up. She kept at the same pace til they got close to their turn when she started speeding up to turn down first, but suddenly she caught a familiar flash of red. "No..." she mumbled heading towards the man and beast near the lake a bit farther up the road.

As she reacted Janu felt fear, causing her horse to go fast as she could even though she knew she couldn’t keep up. She whispered to midnight an apology then stood on the saddle, leaping upward to land behind Arina once more. Something was wrong… and she wouldn’t let arina be alone through it.

Arina just kept going, Midnight knew riderless meant return home so He turned back and went back to the stable. Arina leaned down as they turned off the path maneuvering through the trees almost as if they weren't there, her focus on the red beast she knew so well.

Lukas Had wandered away from the steed as he drank in search of a cool seat. He found a tree that seemed alright and sat down beneath it. He heard the distant sound of hoof beats. That was normal, this road had been traveled often. Then it came to his attention that they started to speed up, unnaturally fast for any horse. And, they were coming nearer to him. There were two possibilities. He looked back to where the road was, and caught a glimpse of silver. "Oh shit..." he muttered knowing full well who it was. "Well.. there goes the surprise..." he muttered walking back to the beast at the lake.

“ What is it Arina?” Janu whispered fearfully, matching her movements as she leaned forward and matched the other’s movements. She looked forward, spotting the man and red horse but knowing nothing of who it was. What was going on?

Arina stopped and jumped off the horse smacking the young man in the face "Where in the world have you BEEN Lukas?" she just about screamed at him. She balled her fist up calming herself down. She remembered Janu had been with her. "This darling," She directed at Janu "Is my dear brother Lukas" She almost spat out his name. "I haven't seen him in... 8 years." she explained with each word her fist clenched and unclenched as she tried to calm down a little.

Janu bit her lip, uncertain of how she should be have. This being the case she simply touched the other’s shoulder in a comforting gesture. She stayed quiet, just holding onto her and looking at Lukas. As she was introduced she raised one hand in greeting but said nothing.

Lukas rubbed on his cheek with his hand "What a way to say hello, I missed you dear brother." He joked sarcastically. He then turned his head to see Janu and bowed slightly "Pleasure to meet you miss." He said courteously and smiled "She's just mad because I didn't write..." He told her moving over to the large red steed. The steed huffed, steam rolling into the air from his nostriles. "Oh calm down Strigur." He said petting the beast on his neck "Sorry, he's still not used to strangers. So dear lady, Are you my little sisters new lover?" Lukas asked a smirk on his face. "You so do appear to be her type."

((well that’s one way to get her attention xD))

Janu nodded at the pleasure to meet you but didn’t say to much, still unsure what to think of him. All she knew was he’d angered Arina and so wasn’t high on her own list of approval. As he continued to speak, however, she flushed. Unbidden images came into her head even as she fought them…to be Arina’s lover….those delicate curves.

The feline shook her head, partially to clear it and partially to answer. “Unless her type is ugly and furry I doubt it.” She stated in an only half joking tone. “My name is Janu…I am a friend of hers….” she explained, her eyes staring daggers at him.

Arina looked shocked as the words fell out of his mouth and then looked to Janu, shocked as to what she said about herself as well. She closed her eyes a moment, took a deep breath, and calmed herself. "I'm more mad you left without telling me." She admitted "Though the not writing didn't get you on my good side either." she spat sarcastically then turned her head to Janu "And I hope you don't think of yourself like that... I think you're beautiful..." She blushed softly, "And I don't mind fur..." She admitted blushing more.

"Well. You wouldn't have understood If I'd have told you when I left that I was leaving, and I wasn't anywhere long enough for you to write back." He mentioned still rubbing his face and turned to Janu "My dear you are Far from ugly, and from her past lovers, I'm sure a little fur does not take away from her being attracted to you, I can hear it in her voice you know." He teased playfully. A few blond locks fell into his eyes and he gave off his charming smile "If I hadn't sensed it I'd have tried a different line like 'Oh beautiful lady, white like pearl, won't you join me for a drink?' but you know, I can tell she likes you, and she's my sister so you know...it'd be weird." He smiled and grabbed the reins of his steed and started to move back to the what he thought was still his family home.

Janu began to calm a little as Arina calmed, so thankful this had not been the disastrous situation she feared. As she spoke to her brother it made the feline lips twitch into part of a smile, her sense of humor finding it slightly amusing even if part of her found it sad. This was not how she thought family should be…then again, she doubted they chose to deliberately either.

Arina’s words made her drop her musing thoughts and she looked up at the other girl and flushed. Her? Beautiful…? Could she mean it? The feline reached up, simply touching the others cheek with one shaky hand as her eyes seemed to plead that Arina not play games with her. Remembering they were not alone, however, combined with Janu’s own turmoil regarding her sexuality caused her to drop her hand quickly however. “S…such a joker” she now replied, kicking the dirt slightly. She let them decide if she was referring to one or both of them.

As Lucas spoke she grew more red, glancing towards Arina and feeling a pang of uncertainty. She ran a hand through her currently loose hair, shyly staying quiet a moment. “I…well…we should probably go gget some tea or something…and water for your horse…seems tired…” she finally said.
