A Trios Journey (private rp with wingfeather and tenebria)

Lorcán turned to look over the stallions for a moment. "Equinox, I want you and Tulpar, if he has returned to patrol the border, go an entire way around, and then move to the path further to the west" he ordered. Equinox dipped his head and spun, cantering off in search of his fellow warrior. "Get some rest, those of you not patrolling, we will be sore pressed for it in the coming days" he finished, nodding to dismiss the warriors, then turning to his apprentice. "Your training shall not lessen during this time, I hope you are aware of that" he said sternly. Galmúr gave a swift nod "I understand" He said seriously. The gray stallion nodded, then motioned to the grass slightly "You have not had much of a rest yet, so take it now while you can" he said abruptly, suddenly turning and trotting off, heading in the large draft's direction, from where he stood speaking with his own apprentice and Adira and her apprentice.

As the scouts dispersed to fulfill their jobs Treth turned to Artemis, ''I believe we will take the shift after Earl, possibly even a night patrol. I don't think ive taken you on one yet, have I,'' Treth asked. Artemis shook her head, ''no you haven't,'' she answered with some eagerness, the prospect of getting to stay up late in the dark woods definitely sounded enticing. Treth flicked his ears, ''hmm, I'll think about it, for now rest as much as you can.''

Sugar learned a ton of mew herbs and by the time she finished, Sugar was tired again. She lay herself down on the grass and heaved a sigh. “That was tiring” she joked. Cinnamon laughed.

[tenebria]

Galmúr dropped his head and began grazing swiftly, now beginning to truly feel the ache in his tired legs. Too much running. Just too much.

[wingfeather]

Artemis flicked her tail, she was on break, maybe Sugar would want to talk for a bit. After gaining permission from Treth Artemis trotted to where the healers stayed, ''Sugar, how have you been today,'' she asked approaching her friend.

[Abbster]

Sugar looked up and smiled. “Well good” she said. “I learned more herbs, Cinnamon gave me a test. Which I passed” sugar said, happily. “I also collected cobwebs. Took a nap, I got bored of waiting for you and Galmur” she joked, standing to greet her friend.

Galmúr grazed swiftly, shifting slightly on his sore legs as he moved to greener patches, glancing around now and then to take in his surroundings. Suddenly, a voice spoke from behind him. "Looking around doesn't help much if you can't see behind you, seaweed brain". He almost leapt out of his skin at the sudden speech, whipping his head around and then gulping as he saw the white spattered chestnut filly staring at him with a scornful look. "Uh, hey.. you're... Sabine, right?" he asked, slightly awkwardly. She raised an eye, unimpressed at his memory skills. "Yeah, and you're Galmúr, the new apprentice who's apparently the cousin of our Lead Mare" she stated, her voice speaking her unbelief. He snorted in offense at this. "Well I am!" he said, defensively. She snorted "I didn't say you weren't" she said in a voice that said she totally had said that. He narrowed his eyes slightly. "Yeah, so who are you related to?" he asked, hoping to have struck on something useful. But he wasn't prepared for the sudden look of pain and hurt and vulnerability that flashed through her eyes... until she turned into a stormcloud. "You don't have any right to ask me anything about me" she said angrily, ears pinning, tail lashing. "I...I'm sorry, it's just you said something about my family... I thought.." he trailed off, ears flattening in apology. "And you thought you could just get all chummy and ask me about my life?" She said in an accusing tone. He gulped and swiftly shook his head "No, of course not, i'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked until you offered" he said, swiftly backpedaling as he attempted to regain his footing in this conversation. She glared at him, her eyes hard and fiery. "Well at least you got something right. Just stay out of my way golden boy" she said, the insult in her tone very prominent. He snorted slightly in annoyance at this, a bit of anger flashing in his tone, but he swiftly dampened it, pushing it down as she moved swiftly away from him. Well... that had been... quite the conversation. He winced slightly as he remembered the pain his question had unknowningly brought. What was her past that one innocent question could bring so much emotion? He had to find out.

''Wow, good job Sugar, I haven't really been given a test yet, but I'm so glad you got it down so quickly,'' Artemis said smiling, ''by the way, you wont believe what happened today. While Treth and I were out scouting we spotted some rouge stallions by the river. We had to get the lead mare, and you would not believe how rudely he spoke to her,'' Artemis said tail swishing angrily at the memory.

[Abbster]

Sugar gasped. "rouge stallions?" She asked. "Did they challenge the lead mare to a fight?" she asked.

[tenebria]

Galmúr sighed and shook his head, turning his attention... or most of it, back to the grass at his hooves and swiftly tearing up the green shoots. Hmmm... I wonder if Charger will be free for a quick chat later, he wondered to himself. Sometimes his curiosity was dangerously powerful.

[wingfeather]

Artemis shook her head, ''no luckily it didn't get to that but I know several of us were just itching to do it ourselves, right now they are staying in the forest. They said that they would only stay for two days, we all hope they leave soon,'' she said with a snort.

[Abbster]

“THE FOREST?” Sugar snorted. “Could the lead mare really let rouge stallions sleep in OUR forest?” She asked.

[tenebria]

Galmúr continued munching the grass, still deep in his thoughts.

[wingfeather]

Artemis nodded, ''ya, so I wouldn't go there for a little while. Anyways, ''she continued glancing at the sun's position, ''I think I gotta go now,'' she said nuzzling Sugar before beginning to trot away, suddenly she remembered something and turned back, ''oh, and I don't know if I will be able to see you guys tonight, Treth said I might get to go on a night patrol. See you.''

[Abbster]

"bye" Sugar said, with a sad sigh. "Oh, that sounds like fun, if you do, be careful!" Sugar called after her friend before turning back to Cinnamon
