Run Rabbit Run!

The wind howled happily to signify the end of the long day. The last fragments of sunlight catching on the swaying grass made a pretty picture and distracted Caehli during her ride. Soon enough Telia caught up with Din and it surprised her when she spoke, simply because Caehli was day dreaming. "Hm ? Oh yes Din is quite pretty" Caehli said very proudly. If Caehli could boast about anything it was her prized Din.She cared for him dearly. "He is big, for me anyways. I often fall off of him! The fact that I ride him bareback probably doesn't help either " She laughed as the melancholy took hold of her heart and mind. " When I was young I could barely hold on to him! I'm amazed he let me too." Her hands roaming his golden hide mindlessly. Back when she was smaller she once clung to it and his mane so hard he would often buck her off in pain. Caehli's eye caught Telia's own horse, it easily kept pace with Din and she had to fight the competitive urge down. "Your own Strider, she's quite the beauty too! I haven't seen many silver Striders and swift too! " She added impressed, not many had the endurance to keep up with Din. She tucked away this information, perhaps she would propose a little race around the encampment later.

"Yndra? Indeed, she is gorgeous. When I first saw her, she was stepping through a dense mid-morning fog. The way her fur blended with the gray air astounded me... It was love at first sight, I suppose you could say." She grinned wistfully, her mind clearly on the past as her erratic saddle movements settled for a time. "We've been through quite a bit, she and I - I've known her since I was young. I fear I don't do her enough justice... I'm not a particularly skilled rider, unfortunately, though I have improved as of late."

Her gaze cast in the direction of the horizon, where the sun was nearing the edge of the sky, casting a brilliant red-gold glow over the fields. In a way, this time of day was both the most peaceful and the most dangerous. Most of the daytime predators were nearing sleep, sure - but visibility was low and shadows were long, making bandits even more difficult to detect. Very few would be brazen enough to attack two mounted Drykas, of course - even if they were both young women, the horses alone would pose a serious threat to any aggressors.

"The Amethyst Clan, eh? I admit I've never had much contact with you... Not outside of Endrykas, at least, and even there it has only been fleeting." Truth be told, Telia did not get away from her family tent very often, and as such hadn't encountered many other Clans in anything more than passing situations.

"My goodness she sounds like a dream! Gentle tempered too I'm sure." She had a huge desire to reach out and pet the mare.However she fought the urge down " I feel the same about Din though I doubt I do him justice either.His true rider is probably some warrior and now he has to look after a little girl !"She quipped since they were an unlikely duo. Caehli laughed off Telia's comment about her riding "Oh you do fine! The only reason you bounce a bit is because you're a lightweight like me.Only I fall off instead " She giggled and shook her head "Besides it's a charming trait I assure you! Suitors I'm sure will flock to you if they saw you on horseback all dainty and petite" Caehli teased lightly, she had no boundaries nor reservations with anyone. So it didn't really faze her that it may or may not have crossed the line between almost total strangers. "Well the encampments are vast and continue to grow so it's unlikely to meet up" She smirked at the thought of how they met up since it was unlikely " I know of the Emerald clan although no pavillion nor Ankal personally.It's sort of difficult to become familiar with everyone in a vast civilization. Although I would very much like to". Caehli was often exploring the Clans and their encampments. It had become a bad habit she enjoyed dropping other obligations to travel around Endrykas and learn more about the people around her.This was only because it fascinated her so. "Although we of the Amethyst clan aren't much truly, so your not missing out" she said loftily in a light hearted tone. She kept mind to keep close to Telia, simply because it was getting late. Caehli had many accidents and brushes with death but she had yet to meet up with bandits.It was not about to happen now either. She gripped Din's thighs in a gentle prod to be aware. His ears twiddled in understanding, his animal instincts were kicking in to keep watch of the plains on their journey home. Caehli's hands were itching to keep her bow in hand, however it was best not to overreact and lose the carefree atmosphere between the two of them.After all chance of attack seemed highly unlikely and Caehli tried to brush her jitters away.
