[He doesn't think it's strange to dual ride, though he does find some sort of pleasant victory in persuading the hard-headed High King to take the backseat. He slows Destrier with his heels when they reach concrete and asphalt.]
Good horse. We will walk from here.
[It's better on the hooves until Caspian can shoe Destrier properly. He waits for Peter to slide off first.]
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!
Date: 2008-06-23 04:08 am (UTC)Good horse. We will walk from here.
[It's better on the hooves until Caspian can shoe Destrier properly. He waits for Peter to slide off first.]
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 04:15 am (UTC)Do you still want to keep him in the carport?
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 04:16 am (UTC)... Perhaps we should leave him at the stables... until the 'carport' is suitable for him.
[Conceding.]
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 04:23 am (UTC)Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 04:28 am (UTC)[Walking Destrier in the direction of the stables, close to the horse but careful not to get in the way of his hooves.]
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 04:34 am (UTC)[Walks by Destrier's side, totally safe from the threat of being stepped on.]
Action!
Date: 2008-06-23 04:38 am (UTC)[Nodding, because a carport is not that kind of place.]
You do not think I gave too much of an effort?
Action!
Date: 2008-06-24 03:29 am (UTC)I still thinking bargaining with the deities was quite foolish though. Now they have something they can use against you.
Action!
Date: 2008-06-24 03:34 am (UTC)I have learned that the Lady Virginia prefers 'dry vermouth'.
Action!
Date: 2008-06-24 03:38 am (UTC)That isn't the most useful of information, Caspian.
Action!
Date: 2008-06-24 03:41 am (UTC)Action!
Date: 2008-06-24 03:44 am (UTC)[after a few moments of silent walking.]
What are they like, anyway?
Action!
Date: 2008-06-24 03:49 am (UTC)[A brief sly smile, then he looks serious again.]
They seem much like the rest of us. Eccentric, but not so different.
Action!
Date: 2008-06-24 03:54 am (UTC)We can't assume anything based on their appearances. I wonder if they have a central power source... or maybe-
[Peter kind of trails off, talking mainly to himself near the end.]
Action!
Date: 2008-06-24 04:00 am (UTC)The thought about the City is that their power lies within the clock.
Action!
Date: 2008-06-24 04:06 am (UTC)[Kind of stares at Destrier for a while.]
Action!
Date: 2008-06-24 04:09 am (UTC)[Destrier does what only a horse would do, snort a gust of warm air in peter's face.]
Good horse.
[Patting Destrier, er, not for the snort of course.]
Action!
Date: 2008-06-24 04:16 am (UTC)[Gives Destrier one last pat before turning to leave the stable.]
If you still want to bring her to the flat, we should get started on that sometime soon.
Action!
Date: 2008-06-24 04:20 am (UTC)All the more reason for us to learn as much as we can, so that we may return to our rightful places.
[Turning to leave with Peter, giving one last look to the horse before facing the street. Then a brief smile.]
... It will take work, Peter, unfit for a King.
