- Ithil & Bernard - The morning ritual was the same as it always was. Bernard hovered over her as they stretched their limbs with a silent question, and she smiled and told him that yes, today would be a good day to walk. The weather seemed to agree for the most part: clear blue skies and a brisk wind watched over them as they made their way into gods knew where. Bernard seemed to have almost forgotten, as if he wasn't charged with the task of finding her a home, as if walking were the only thing they were meant to do. Ithil almost seemed loathe to think of that goal possibly approaching. She had grown fond of the self-proclaimed knight, for all of his....minor neuroses. Today, however, there was more to find than just good weather. Something on the wind made the mare pause, and a second later Bernard did so as well, already looking concerned. "My lady?" "I...just smell something." She turned one way and then another before homing in on the direction the scent was coming from. There was the beginning of a forest they had been moving parallel to for a small time now, but the sweet smell of it hadn't really hit her until then. "Shall we?" she asked with a smile that said her protector had little choice. He sighed through his nose and nodded. "A break would do you well. But only a break." "Yes, yes." Ithil trotted in with the care of a foal, curious to see what new thing they could discover. Anything to break up the monotony.

- Zhien Khiah - Two smells twined into one it seemed. The pretty little one examining flowers might be interesting, but the larger male considerably less so. He seemed to be scolding her for something? Zhien's ears perked and she listened carefully. Those blossoms were hardly poisonous. She'd taken care to pull the ones that were, root and stem, so they wouldn't come back. So this place would safe for eating, sleeping and nesting as needs came along. Visitors came from time to time, sometimes she kept her distance and sometimes not. Perhaps this time she should not. "What lives here doesn't take kindly to insults about her home." They would hear her first before they saw her. The careful light crunch of claw and hoof through the plants would let her know where she came from. "Is there some particular business you have with me?" Her tone was edging on curt. The flowers in the feathered crest of her mane and the base of her tail would mark her as the owner of the garden. The claws of one foot clicked in a rhythm against the ground. "Or are you simply seeking a place to stay?" She watched them carefully to see how they regarded her and what judgements they made.

- Ithil & Bernard - Normally it took Ithil time to decide, but today she felt a strong pull. "If there's no issue, I'd like for us to stay a while," she told the mare, smiling slightly. "Very rarely do we get to appreciate the beauty around us." Bernard only heard the code for I'm tired and want to sleep. She was nocturnal, so they tried to balance the time spent in the day and night, but it seemed they had reached her limit. "We won't disturb a leaf," he added, bowing his head. "If you know somewhere safe, stranger, we would be grateful."

- Ithil & Bernard - They kept pace and remained a short distance behind her, Bernard still wary, Ithil quite pleased. "Thank you," she said with another incline of her head. "I forget my manners. Call me Ithil. My companion is Bernard." He, too, bowed his head slightly, though he kept his eyes up. He didn't like this, simply being allowed into someone's home without so much as blinking. Had it been a herd, it might have been different, but this forest was a little too unsettling for his tastes. Not to mention the way the other mare looked at them... As Ithil moved to examine the blue roses, he asked, "Have you lived here long?"
