[THAT'S... well. He can't judge because that's how his version of stranger danger operates too but still.]

Probably! I mean, even if most of us have gotten used to the noise, that horse is still pretty new to it. That's why I kept him back away from the roads and all.

[Also because the dojo area was the only one even remotely suitable for a one-stall stable...

BUT YES, OUT THE DOOR AND ONWARD!!]

From:

yaayaa

I remember when we were still new to the noise...it was very distracting, I must say!

[Nodding nodding! From his perch on Naki's shoulder, as they move.]

I'm sure he'll learn to handle his new surroundings in no time at all!

From:

adornmental

Yeah... The cities are really nothing like the Citadel, huh?

[Kashuu adapted quite well because of course he did, but it gets to be a bit much even for him at times...

He'll make his way quickly to the park, though. NO TIME TO WASTE.]

Hopefully that'll be the case, anyway. I mean, it's not like any of us will actually be able to ride him if he's spooked 'cause of traffic all the time... Buuut since he's a warhorse and all, it'll probably be fine.

From:

yaayaa

[Nodding, nodding! As they powerwalk onward! Hopefully Aoge will still be there when they arrive.]

Are you planning to ride him on the street then? I wonder how a horse would fare on city streets like this.

Could he avoid the cars?

From:

adornmental

...Probably not. He'd have to be a little faster than he is now to be able to do stuff like that.

[His slowass horse... Someone Help Aoge.

But! As they walk along the trail that usually leads to the dojo, he'll just keep on walking instead, until they get to a little shack-ish looking stable.]

That's normally where I keep him.

From:

yaayaa

Maybe he needs more exercise?

[A valid question(??) Once they reach the stable though, Naki and fox both look around...gosh, that stable sure looks like a shack. And where's the horse....maybe it's behind the shack?

Looking back there just in case.]

From:

adornmental

[There's no Aoge back there, but Naki will probably spot said horse ambling off in the distance near some bushes and ponds! He's enjoying nature...]

So, you think we should just... I dunno, run him around the park for a few laps every day or something? I mean, it's not like they'll be able to carry us to battle here.

[No wars to fight in!! Poor, poor warhorse.]

From:

yaayaa

[What a laid-back horse, ambling off into the wilderness...maybe he'll chase it? And by "chase" I mean "walk towards it at a laid-back casual speed" because it doesn't seem to be in much of a hurry.]

That sounds good! I'm sure Aoge would enjoy it...running around the park would definitely be more enjoyable than staying in the stables. And I'm sure everyone would enjoy the occasional ride!

From:

adornmental

[Well, it's not running away as soon as it notices someone's gently ambling after it, if nothing else... A good sign?!]

Yeah, you're right about that! I was just thinking of hosting a horseback archery contest or something someday. Y'know, just for a little extra fun after we're all done with our daily practice.

From:

yaayaa

Horseback archery! I don't believe we've ever done that before, but it definitely sounds exciting!

[Naki glances back for a moment, thinking of asking a question, but then apparently deciding not to? Back to the horse! Once he gets close enough to catch its attention he's gonna pet it!!]

From:

adornmental

It's pretty fun, yeah. I haven't done it many times myself, but Aoge's a good horse for beginners.

[Because he's SO DAMN SLOW...

Speaking of, he's stopped near another bush up ahead and seems to be partaking in some tasty treats there. Fortunately it's not a killer alien plant...]

From:

yaayaa

[The world's slowest horse! That's gotta be some sort of record. Reaching Aoge, checking out what he's eating (just in case it's a killer alien plant), turning back to Kashuu...]

You could teach.

From:

adornmental

[It's just a charming berry bush with no toxic things available for poor, wandering horses! Lucky them.]

Eh? Teach the archery part?

[He can't teach Aoge how to be faster, alas...]

From:

yaayaa

[Maybe he wants you to teach speed to Aoge!! but no he'll just stare impassively, as if that's an acceptable answer.]

Do you think you would make a good archery teacher? You already do quite well with swordsmanship.

From:

adornmental

[LOOK, HE WOULD IF HE COULD. He'll get Aoge rocket boots.]

I dunno... I mean, I'm obviously good at wielding a sword! But archery isn't really my thing.

[Aoge, meanwhile, starts to amble off a little while they stand around talking. Good thing he's easy to keep up with...]

From:

yaayaa

[Rocket horse....]

...Sayo?

[Tantous can equip archers, right? Also, Naki's gonna just keep following the horse. They're taking a walk around the park! Sort of!]

From:

adornmental

[WHY IS THAT A THING.]

Hm... You think he'd be interested in it? I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask or whatever.

[He's giving this some serious thought! And reaches out to pat Aoge as they go, since this is basically just a leisurely stroll now. Good work, team... So much for having to corral the horse?!]

From:

yaayaa

[The internet is a vast sea of mystery...]

You never know until you ask! It would be interesting to see his answer, at least.

[It's a serious topic to think about! Aoge seems to be enjoying their walk, meanwhile. Tasty grass! Nice scenery! Hopefully no killer plants or fish? They're coming up to a pond, anyway.]

From:

adornmental

[Ah, a lovely pond! Kashuu trusts NONE OF THEM except for the nice cute one that had koi fish once upon a time.]

I'll give it a shot and let you know what he says, 'kay?

[Somewhere in the distance Sayo is probably sneezing.]

—Mm, you thirsty?

[This is directed more at Aoge though, who's sauntering over toward the pond.]

From:

yaayaa

[Naki lets out an agreeable noise at the suggestion, as he curiously glances towards Aoge's new destination.

Is Aoge thirsty! The answer appears to be Yes, though there's still the question of whether it's a safe pond full of safe horse-friendly water.

What if it's full of Fishies...he can't help leaning out a bit, to look.]

From:

adornmental

[It's full of fishes, at least! Pretty-looking alien fish that swim somewhat close to the surface, but seem shy like carp in that they dart away as soon as shadows fall over them.

Speaking of shadows, though... This pond is pretty deep, and there seems to be a pretty large one slowly drifting by much closer to the bottom.]

...I'm not sure you should be drinking here, buddy.

[PATTING AOGE'S SIDE...]

From:

yaayaa

[So many pretty fishes! And...yes. That single Fishy at the bottom.

He kinda wants to see it?

Naki's picking up a rock to toss in. Just...just because.

Yes.]

Perhaps there are other places we can take him for water? Another pond, perhaps.

From:

adornmental

Hey—!

[AAAH NAKI WHY?! The rock plunks in and sinks to the bottom, where that large shadow seems minutely disturbed by it.]

Uh-- yeah, I'm pretty sure we should definitely be going to another pond. Like, stat.

[Considering that shadow's moving upward now...]

From:

yaayaa

[He was curious........]

Yes, that sounds like a good idea! I'm sure we'll find another pond, in another direction!

[Immediately, even! Let's turn this horse around!!

Naki might lag behind a bit though, he wants to see the fish come up? Just a glimpse!]

From:

adornmental

Good, good. Let's go!

[Leading Aoge AWAY... Fortunately when a horse is this chill, it doesn't really mind being herded around. Naki, on the other hand, is a dang menace?! Kashuu's quick to reach back with his free hand, tugging this dingus forward by the sleeve cuff.]

You're gonna get your face bitten off!!

[And actually, right as he yanks Naki back, said fish erupts from the water. It's... well. It sure is enormous.]
