A Trios Journey (private rp with wingfeather and tenebria)

[Abbster]

"Mine was AWSOME!" Sugar squealed as they began walking to a little section of the herd. "Cinnamon taught me all the herbs in the world! And I got to meet Hazel, Gus' little sister!" She said, as she lay down

[tenebria]

Galmúr gave an apologetic understanding smile to the black friesian as he followed the two a little ways over, listening to Sugar's animated response to the question. He hesitated as Sugar lay down, but then he realized that his legs really were tired, and although grazing standing was preferable, this would do. He lay down beside her, smiling at Sugar "That sound sound like an awesome day" he said enthusiastically "I heard you naming a lot of the herbs, you seemed to catch onto them really quick!" he said admiringly, knowing he would never be able to tell half of the herbs apart. "As for my day, it was very interesting, Lorcán took me on a patrol path that went around the entire herd, and he taught me what signs to look for to follow the path. Along the way we trained on alertness mostly, staying open to my surroundings, but at the same time noticing his movements... like sliding stops for instance" he said with a slight smile, which turned thoughtful. "My mentor really seems to be someone... did you see how Lead Mare Swan dipped her head to him? But he's pretty silent for the most part... a bit stern" he added with a pensive look in his eyes. Somehow he'd have to find someone that could tell him about his mentor, because he had a feeling that his mentor would never reveal his past to him himself.

Artemis smiled at Sugar as she talked of her day, ''that sounds amazing Sugar! I'm glad you are what you are best at and what you enjoy.'' She turned and listened to Galmúr, ''sounds as if you had an interesting day, I'm sure we will find out all about each of the horses in time,'' she said smiling warmly at him. ''I got to meet most of the other scouts today. Did you know Gus is one to Sugar? I also met another wonderful young yearling named Myth, I think she and I will get along great. We got to travel along one of the trails, it also went around the herd but in a tighter ring than the one you went on Galmúr.'' 

[Abbster]

Sugars eyes lit up. "He is??" she asked. "Did he ask about me? Did he ask what I was doing now?" she asked, her mind spinning as she asked all these questions. "DOES HE LIKE ME BACK???" She suddenly said. Then Sugar flattened her ears, as if she suddenly had a realization. "I just realized..." Sugar said. "This is the only time we'll ever be able to see one another" Sugar said. "Does this mean that eventually we'll have to sleep with our mentors soon?" she asked. "or will we always be able to stay together?" she asked.

[tenebria]

Galmúr smiled and nodded "I believe we will" he agreed, then listened to Artemis as she told of her day. "That sounds quite exciting! I wonder if my mentor will ever introduce me to the other warriors, and apprentices, if there are warrior apprentices" he added with another thoughtful expression. At Sugar's barrage of questions he chuckled slightly, letting Artemis answer them, then shaking his head at the dappled fillies other question. "Oh Sugar I don't think it will be the only time, after all we live in the same herd! And I doubt that training will take all day, once we get better" he added swiftly, then frowned. "I also do not believe we will sleep with our mentors, my mentor made it quite clear that he would only expect to see me in the mornings" he added firmly.

[wingfeather]

Artemis was surprised at Sugar's outburst of questions, ''he only told me that you were taking care of his sister. And he did not exactly say anything about liking you,'' Artemis answered laughing. ''No, I am not going to sleep with my mentor, but like Galmúr said, I do have to be there in the morning. What are your mentors like?''

[Abbster]

Sugar sighed. "Can you ask him?" she asked. Then Sugar's ears pricked up. "Well Cinnamon is super nice! She's a bit strict but she helped me a lot this morning, I was missing you guys a lot, and she had me learn herbs to take my mind off it." Sugar said. "She's super sweet, and she knows how to make me feel better!" Sugar said. "and, she said she can teach me to not speak out at random times!" Sugar added with a bright smile. "She said tomorrow, we're going to go around and check the warriors and scouts to make sure they don't have any injures!" Sugar said with a bright smile

[tenebria]

Galmúr chuckled at Sugar's hopeful question, then smiled as she described her mentor. "She sounds like a nice, understanding mentor" he congratulated, a bit of a rueful tone in his voice. "My mentor..." he trailed off, trying to figure out how to word him. "Well, Lorcán's very quiet, but not in a shy or subdued way... more like a stern, testing way. He really doesn't talk a lot, except when he has to teach me things or when he wants to tell me something I didn't do right" he said with a slight frown. "He also.. I don't know, he almost seems to be sort of distant a lot of the time" he said, then shook it off "I'm sure it's just because it's the first day" he said, reassuring himself. "Tomorrow we're going to go back over the trail that we went on today, but he said i'll be leading this time" he said, swishing his tail eagerly. "I do hope we'll get to meet the other warriors too" he added, wondering if the gray warrior would be upset if he suggested it. A thought popped to his head, and he glanced hopefully at the two "Did either of your mentors mention anything about Lorcán?"

[wingfeather]

''Why Sugar, that is something between you and Gus. I can't interfere with that! I am very glad that you get along with your mentor.'' She turned towards Galmúr, ''I'm sure you will meet the other apprentices soon, you can't be the only one, there can't only be one warrior.''

[Abbster]

“Oh, no there’s no!” Sugar said. “When Oreo was looking over Hazel, Gus’ sister, I talked to his mom, Oreo. Asked her some questions, what she did before Hazel was born, apparently she was a scout before hazel was born, but when hazel gets a mentor, she’ll be a scout again, and then Creampuff, Gus’ father is a warrior, so maybe you’ll get to meet him” sugar said, as she yawned. “If you guys want to talk some more, you can, but I need some sleep” she said, snuggling close to Galmur.

[tenebria]

Galmúr smiled and nodded "Of course, I'm sure there are more" he responded logically, then nuzzled Sugar. "Oh, well at least that's one more warrior then!" he said, then chuckled. "You're probably right, we should get some sleep. I need to graze a bit though" he added, hungrily tearing a few blades of grass as Sugar nestled down next to him.

[wingfeather]

Artemis allowed her knees to collapse wearily under her, she was exhausted and it had finally caught up with her, ''Goodnight, you guys, see you tomorrow.''

[Abbster]

Sugar nickered a reply to Artemis before closing her eyes and falling asleep almost instantly. All three of them had had a long day, and now they needed there rest

[tenebria]

Galmúr glanced over as Artemis plopped down as well, smiling at the two tired fillies, then turning back to his grazing. A few minutes later, sleep overtook him and he yawned, curling up and laying his head down, swiftly dropping off to dreamless sleep.

[wingfeather]

Artemis's eyes flashed open suddenly, not from any sound or reason, it was just her habit to wake up at this time. She raised her head and shook out her dark mane. For some reason she had the feeling that she was supposed to do something, then she remembered. The scouts. Eagerly Artemis got to her feet trying to be carful not to wake her friends.
