Open Wandering the lands

[Jason Fleming]

Jason didn't react to much when the mare began to fright. He glanced at her and gave her a small smile before turning his attention to Grazer as he put his head on Jasons shoulder. He pet his muzzle softly, and glanced down at his clothes.

Yeah. he said as he agreed with her previous statement. He glanced at Grazer as well seeing he wasn't well covered as the mare. He wrapped his jacket a bit tighter as he glanced around again.

"Well, my dad wanted me to make something of my self. he shrugged as he paused in mid sentence.

"I guess being a Drifter and hired hand wasn't what he had in mind." he continued to pet Grazer as he nudged his shoulder again. He was still a bit shakey from earlier but he was beggining to calm down

"Are you trying to get yourself killed? Because from what I see you are used to warmer regions. Not the snow and ice of Taldera........" She chuckled mirthlessly, her voice was soft and neutral. "What are you called?" She asked, her eyes narrowed on him her hand slipping closer to her saddlebag.

[Jason Fleming]

"People of a region bother me more than it's weather." he said simply shrugging and patting Grazers nose. By now Grazer was cautiously stretching his neck towards the mare sniffing the air around her.

"And my name is Jason." he said looking at Grazer curiously. "You are....?" he asked looking towards her hoping for a reply

[Brighid Killian]

As the stallion stretched his neck towards the mare she pinned her ears back and snapped a warning. The female put a pale hand on her neck to calm her stroking gently. "Easy, Muka.....*She soothed whispering softly in the mare's ear. The mare quieted and soon turned to nuzzle her chest. The female smiled and then turned her eyes to the male. "I am Brighid, this here is Muka.....*She scratched the mare behind the ears and leaned her slender body against the mare's side. Her cloak had started slipping from her shoulder revealing the scar.

[Jason Fleming]

Jason rolled his eyes at Grazer as he tried continuing to sniff Muka. He reached and flicked Grazers ear. Grazer jolted his head back.

"She's going to get you if you keep it up." he said then motioned towards Grazer. "This is Grazer, nice to meet you guys." he looked at her scar as it showed once again, he chewed on his tounge a bit to keep from asking about it, that might come out as a bit rude.

"So." he said as he finally stopped staring. "I take it you're from here?"

[Brighid Killian]

She caught his gaze, and followed it to her shoulders. She quickly pulled up the cloak and turned so her body was facing him. "Yes I am from these regions, and I could see myself living no other life......" Her voice grew distant and she frowned. "Sorry, I am not used to others. In face you are the first person I have seen in months......." She shivered and wrapped the cloak around her still nude form.

[Jason Fleming]

He nodded as she spoke, "I know thw feeling, Ive been wandering so long I am a little awkward around company."

With her last sentence he shifted nervously. "If you want we could turn around and let you get dressed?"

He said as he motioned to Grazer, who was once again trying to sniff the mare, he stopped with an elbow to the shoulder from Jason. He gave her a small smile

Day 54 Winter 512 With his words she shrugged. Her eyes scanned the treeline, the thick trunks stood tall their bark dark and solid. Their branches were leafless and weighed down by the inched of snow that coated them. The air was a biting chill around them, causing Brighid to tighten her cloak around her even more. With the sun sinking and a snow starting to fall it made thing worse, Brighid cursed under her breath and shook her head. They were at the top of a slow incline hill, the higher ground allowed Brighid to scan the area and the surrounding region. Her eyes were careful to not miss any detail, knowing a small mistake could be fatal. When she answered him her gaze was fixated on the area lower down the hill. "Don't worry about me, I am fine. If anything I would be worried about yourself, you are in more danger of the elements then I." Her voice was harsh and cold much like her gaze.

[Jason Fleming]

As the wind continued to blow Jason tilted his head downward to keep his ears from getting to cold, the wind making his hair even messier than it already was.

"Well in that case," he said looking up at her. "What would you like to do now?" he glanced down the hill at thier surroundings seeing if he could spot any game, finding none he continued to talk to her.

"Because I will need help as long as I'm here. If you don't mind that is." he added towards the end of the sentence ducking his head as the wind blew again. Grazer shook some of the falling snow out of his mane and onto Jason. Jason simply brushed it off as he waited for a reply.

[Brighid Killian]

"I will help you.....but only because if I don't you could draw attention to me....." She snapped, her voice even colder. She dropped her cloak and reached into her saddle bags. Pulling out her breeches boots and tunic, she slipped them on quickly before lifting the cloak on her shoulders again. She then took that time to look straight at him, her gaze never wavered nor did she blink. "I have traveled these lands, I have never been caught and I have no intentions of doing so now......If you slow me down I will leave you. If you draw attention to me, I will leave you. Is that understood?* She asked her voice an almost whisper as she finished. Her breath came out in an icy cloud her cheeks becoming slightly flushed. She lifted her hood over her face concealing herself. She then untethered Muka and led her away from the treeline. She began a slow climb down the small but icy slope. Her footing was sure and she moved with ease of her animal counterpart.
