Location [Syliras Location] Windmount Stables

[Taeghen]

Taeghen was a bit surprised to find Sam in Serena's office, but he assumed the man was just a worker. Taeghen glanced around the office then returned his attention to the worker. The man seemed nice enough, though perhaps a bit shy.

"Hello, I'm Taeghen Tarnruth. Actually I was looking for Conor or Serena, but if you work here maybe you can help me. I was hoping I might find stabling for my horse here. I'm a bit low on Miza's right now, so I could only pay for a week or so, but hopefully by then I will have found some work. If not, I'll pick her up at the end of the week."

((Sorry for taking so long to post. See signature for details.))

[Sama'el Sunsinger]

Taeghen "Oh. Well. Serena should be back soon," he said, "but I can take care of your horse for the time being. You can pay the 30 silver mizas for the stabling up front, and then come back in a week's time to negotiate anything further." He rubbed his hands together, eager to see the new horse. Whatever he had been looking for was forgotten. Ushering the man out of the office, he explained: "Oh, and Conor Windmount is deceased. And I'm Sam. Please introduce me to this horse of yours."

[Taeghen]

Taeghen nodded and produced the 30 silver mizas from his pouch, handing them to the man. "She's right this way," He said as he led Sam towards the entrance to the pasture. "Her name is Sahiya. We've only just arrived from Zeltiva and both could use a good rest."

Taeghen was surprised to hear of Conor's death. "Really? I'm sorry to hear that. He was a good man. What happened to him, if you don't mind my asking." They crossed the pasture to his horse and Taeghen reached out to give her a reassuring stroke on the neck. "And here she is. I'm sure you'll take good care of her."

[Sama'el Sunsinger]

Taeghen Sam accepted the pouch of silver, which he would hold onto until Serena returned. He did not have access to her coffers. But for now, he would do what he did best: see to the horse. "Sahiya is a lovely name. Does she have any health issues we should know about?"

OOCWe can continue if you wish, or you can fade to black and assume that your horse is stabled. Just PM Dusk to see about long term stabling. She should be available again within the next few days.

[Taeghen]

Taeghen stroked the horses back then gave her a light pat on the but, getting a dirty look from the horse in return which made him laugh.

"No, she's perfectly healthy. Just needs a good rest. I'll be back every so often to check up on her, but I'm sure you'll take good care of her."

Taeghen bids his horse farewell, trusting Sam to tend to her needs, then heads for the exit. "Time to find some work." He waves goodbye then heads out.

[Stitch]

Stitch approached the Windmount Stables, greeting the young lady outside with a bit of a different approach.

"BOO!"

Serena didn't even turn around, her eyes on two young stablehands trying to catch a frolicking pony, her dry voice the only sign that she was actually giving Stitch some attention. "Hello, Stitch. That is a rather rude way to approach a lady." Behind her, Stitch paused, stepping back with a fretful look crossing his handsome features. "Really? This one apologizes, milady. You looked stressed, so this one was hoping to cause a little fun. This one apologizes, again." A small smile creeping across her face, Serena turned, regarding the blind orphanage owner warmly. "It is okay, Stitch. Is this about the horses you sent Damien to ask about?" Stitch nodded, yanking a large bag of Mizas from his pocket, handing them over to Serena. The young woman took them, just holding them loosely in her hand, one hand on her hip as she studied Stitch. "What do you need horses for, Stitch? Do you even know how to ride?"

Stitch shook his head, a light smile on his face. "Not at all, milady. They are for a light ride into the Wildlands, and this one has a few companions coming with him. A few know how to ride, and this one figures he will learn."

Serena eyeballed him for a bit longer, then nodded, a serious look on her face. "Be careful, Stitch. When will you be by to pick them up?" Stitch spoke readily, obviously having it all planned out. "On the morning of the 20th, milady. This one will take them over to the Leatherworks to get them saddled, and pack some bags onto the pony. Then this one will take his leave. Thank you for your help, milady. As well as getting the horses prepared for this one." Stitch stepped away, heading back toward the home, parting with Serena by way of a wink, and a wave.

"Bye Stitch. Be careful."

[Mankros]

"Thank you; I'll ask a Knight before I go shopping," Mankros replied. "As for experience and ability, I spent several years working with horses before I left my hometown, and while I like to think I understand a bit more about them than the average farmer or merchant would, I am certain that I still have much to learn."
"By the way," he continued,"Do you know of a good place to pitch a tent near the stables?"

[Sama'el Sunsinger]

Mankros "Assuming Serena gives you a job, you can sleep up in the hayloft. That's what I do. I used to pitch my tent outside the city where there's room, but it's safer in here for horses and people."

[Mankros]

"Thank you for the offer, but, as you said, you stay in the loft. I would very much hate to displace you. My horse, however, will stay here."
