[Destrier's breathing eases when Peter pats him but he also beats a hoof on the ground. Caspian is absolutely certain that while he didn't live in the Narnian era of Talking Beasts, he knows exactly what Destrier is saying.]
Mount.
[He offers Peter a hand, whether he needs one or not.]

Date: 2008-06-23 12:47 am (UTC)[The formerly blue king drops the broken tip of his sword and hurries through the grass towards the dark silhouette.]
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 12:52 am (UTC)Unlike Caspian, he maintains his leisurely walking pace.]
It looks like the deities kept their promise.
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 12:55 am (UTC)It is him. He did not bolt.
[Not that not bolting is such a great indicator for the defector.]
Yes, they did, so it was not in vain.
[Noting the sword piece he reaches out to take it back from Peter.]
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 01:02 am (UTC)I suppose, but he won't be of much use in the city. There's also a problem of where to keep him.
[Reaches out to pat Destrier anyway. Handsome horse is handsome.]
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 01:10 am (UTC)He is very useful, fast and sturdy. He would take us back to the 'apartment' quicker than your two feet.
[Destrier nudges Peter gently as horses do.]
There are stables, or even the hovel by the 'porch'.
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 01:17 am (UTC)I'm sure there's a blacksmith in the city.
[Gives Destrier a good rub before glancing at Caspian.]
Hovel by the porch? The carport?
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 01:29 am (UTC)I will find one but only the best should handle my blade.
Is that its name? It would be a good place for him.
[Another pet to the horse, then Caspian pauses before mounting without any saddle help.]
Are you coming?
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 01:35 am (UTC)[Peter gives Caspian a look.]
I can walk.
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 01:38 am (UTC)[No one has explained what the 'car' in the carport is. Destrier nudges Peter again then lips at his shoulder.]
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 01:47 am (UTC)[Idly pets Destrier. Peter knows he'd slow them down by walking, but he still doesn't relish the idea of riding with Caspian.]
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 01:52 am (UTC)[Another pet to Destrier's neck, to ease the horse along at a slow walking person's pace, ie. Peter's. The horse snorts.]
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 01:57 am (UTC)[Walks in silence for a few minutes, before speaking again.]
I guess we could modify the carport. It's not as if it would get much use otherwise.
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 02:03 am (UTC)[Blue's blue one, as equally unoriginal as Destrier's name.]
Do you know how to operate an automobile?
[Looking down at Peter, curious and not facetious at all.]
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 02:10 am (UTC)His Vespa is more of a scooter than an actual car, though.
No, not yet. There were more pressing issues at home than getting a driving licence.
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 02:14 am (UTC)[Even Destrier looks confused by the concept.]
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 03:12 am (UTC)It would be like allowing an unskilled rider to use a warhorse.
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 03:14 am (UTC)That is not why you are on foot is it?
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 03:16 am (UTC)No.
I don't want to overburden Destrier.
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 03:21 am (UTC)Destrier is a strong horse. Even my elders thought him too capable of battle for a young prince.
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 03:26 am (UTC)[Pats Destrier on the nose. It's not you Destrier!]
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 03:36 am (UTC)Mount.
[He offers Peter a hand, whether he needs one or not.]
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 03:43 am (UTC)Alright, then.
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 03:50 am (UTC)Hah.
[Destrier breaks into a brisk trot, then a gallop, taking them to the urban edge of the City much faster.]
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 03:56 am (UTC)Action!
