Jaye lazed in the sun, hind leg half cocked off the ground, head lolling along the top of the grass swaying slowly. She had been instructed to keep an eye on the herd since trade with Riverfall increased the number of outsiders travelling through Endrykas. Many Drykas had simultaneous distrust and love for of the Avanthalians and as thievery increased from the less reputable citizens during these trading days flocks were watched with more eagerness.
However, Jaye was undeniably bored. Finally two years old she was spending much of her time training and had grown used to the constant adrenaline rush that accompanied it. However, watching horses...it was a job she had done as a child and couldn't help but feel jilted by the request. However, that boredom had turned to pleasure over the hours as the sun warmed the black curve of her back and she felt small bursts of delight as strangers pointed at her glimmering coat.
Born during the Djed storm she bore an unusual coat that dazzled onlookers with a flurry of colour. Though her father accused her of being made vain by it she always shook her head and smirked, pride and vanity were different. There was nothing wrong with indulging in onlookers attention and taking pride in a clean and well groomed appearance.
There were many merchants in the city that day and her father was too busy with his own duties to pay attention to her own desires she thought vehemently, tail twitching at the thought. Many horses had come and went from the herd, at such a dizzying rate that even if she had wanted to do her job it would have been nigh on impossible.
So instead she lounged, keeping one eye peeled for her fathers familiar swagger or for any indication she should resume appearing busy. In the luxury of Syna her mind wandered along its usual trail, imagining dark sorcerers and valiant knights, the most powerful being her own rider of course. Even her birds had stilled and formed little nests in her long mane fluffed out and heads tilted toward Syna they chirped quietly with delight.
OOCI was thinking of making it the day after you arrive in Endrykas. Does that sound okay or is there a better time that works for you? I only have 2 other threads so my calender is pretty open.
