A long slow ride from the town they had stopped and walked. Drew lead his Bandit and Julianne carried her Queen. The two talked about when they were younger. Yes Juli was still young but even with six years difference the two had been friends once. For almost ten years.
Julianne plopped down on a rock near the water and sat the white cat in her lap. Light blue dress minded as she did. Fingers ran down the cas soft fur ringing a purr from her. Silvery blue eyes looked off in the distance. The two were just going on one of their wanderings on their free day as they always did.
Drew dropped Bandits reins and gave the gelding a look over to be sure he was well. After checking his hooves the young man grabbed a few rocks and worked on skipping them on the lakes surface. They continued their chat now that they were settled for the time being.

He breathed in heavily as he walked along side his gelding. His mind was racing with many thoughts mostly about, his last arguement before he and Laios went their diffrent ways. It was rather little and pointless now that he thought back on it. But He guessed this was the mark of becoming solo. Laios most likely will hold a grudge against him and with all and all. but then again, he bet it was ATTICUS'S fault. Filling Raphael's head with wild stories! (yes I am bringing him in eventually lol) He crused at himself lowly, as his dark eyes went downwards. What was I thinking? He clenches his jaws and his fingers tightend arounf the reigns. Oh well I guess. we are better off being solo anyways... right? he kicks a rock that went skidding fowards, he watched it and merely looked up noticing he was heading straight towards two others. Great was he walking in on lovers? Just what he needed. Lowering his head lightly and trying to pull his gelding up to where he could hide his face he tried to squeak by. Would they stop him?

Julianne sighed and stood brushing her-self off, after setting the cat down. "It's been a while since I have been away from the town", she said at last shaking her head. Eyes went to Drew as he continued to toss rocks in the lake. He just shrugged. "Your father is to protective of you wont even let you get a horse, though your so small and short you need a pony", he teased her. She gasped and pushed him making him laugh.
Julianne humphed and turned crossing her arms. Seeing a horse and rider she tilted her head slightly. "Dearest brother that I never had we have company", she said softly. Drew looked around and shrugged and went back to skipping rocks. "Flutter your lashes and flirt. What do I care", he asked. As long as the other stayed in good terms he would ignore him. Julianne was more social than him.
Juli grabbed a rock and threw it at the back of Drews head making him swear at her. "Your worse than a *ss sometimes I swear", she informed him. Forgetting for a moment that someone else was about. No her and Drew were no where near lovers. More of he was an older adopted brother in a way. They were friends almost sibling like in a way. But naught else.

Raphael and Ruse moved closer and he moves his arm around the underneath of Ruse's neck so he couldn't pull away. "Easy boy." He whispered softly to the gelding. The geldings ears flicked back and forth and when he seen another horse infront of him he whickered greetingly. Of course Ruse was way to friendly for his own good. When he looked at the two people they seemed very sibling like now he was closer, but of course he could take a sibling quarrel and turn it into a lovers spat. As they neared closer, Ruse rose his head and stamped his foot as if saying he wasn't going any farther.
Tossing his head up he gave a shrill whicker, Raphael stares up at his gelding with disgust. "You simply like to make things hard for me..don't you." He growls at Ruse.

Bandit lifted his head hearing a whicker and returned the greeting. The large thick paint snorted softly and went back to his graze for now. Drew glared at Julianne and then went back to skipping rocks. Ignoring her and the new commer. Hearing the horse she looked around.
Shaking golden locks back she gave a smile. Bright and lively kind of girl. The one many of the townspeople found tpo be a light in the hardest of times. Looking at the horse and man closely. Head tilted to the side at the horses actions. Smoothing pale blue fabric over her figure more of a intinctual action than anything really being sure she didn't look improper or what not. "Hello", she said sweet vocals carried in the air.

He stared up at his horse and when he heard the return call from the other he glares harsher. "nice going." he mummured. But then he heard the voice of a sweet woman. he looks around his horses large head to spot a girl with golden locks. Sorta reminded him of the tale goldie locks. He nods his head, handsome dark features soft with humor. "Hey." he answered back.
His horse tossed his head up and down at again and Raphael threw the reigns of his head head. Immediately the gelding lowered his head and started grazing the bit of grass by his feet. "I'm Raphael." he said once more. He felt stupid really and stares down at his gelding.

Drew looked back at them and streached moving over to Bandit to get a waterskin from the saddle. Taking a drink watching the two closely. It was his job to protect Juli when she was out here with him. He promised her father that long ago no harm would come to her when she was about him. He planned to be sure of that.
Julianne looked at Drew hearing him move and then to Raphael. She moved closer but stopped half the distance. "I'm Julianne and that over there is Drew. Ignore him he's just being lazy", she said with a smile and shrug. Flipping her hair back and a delacte hand rested on a hip lightly as she studied him. "Where you from", she asked not having seen him before.

Why must they ask that question. Watching the man move he studied him for a second before letting his eyes rest back on the goldie locked girl. "Pleasure to meet you Julianne... and.. Drew." His eyes moved to the man who seemed to be studing him also and he felt himself tense. He hated people and their ungodly looks they gave him. Made him feel lower then what he was. Shifting he breaths in and nods. "Not from around here as your prossuming. I wander where I please pretty much. Trying to get to the next city." he said nodding his head towards her. His eyes went back down to Ruse he gripped the grass and yanked roughly as though he was throwing a tempertantrum.
"So I am guessing your from around here then." he said looking at her as she moved fowards but then stopped. He leaned lightly agaisnt his saddle as he crossed his arms watching her and Drew.

Drew watched them from the corner of his eye as he sat down near his horse who grazed. he made as though he wtched the sparse clouds above. He just wanted to be sure all stayed in good will.
Juli nodded polietly as he spoke. Smile was small but still there. Her nature to most was the close lipped, careful listening, bright girl to those she knew. "I am. Von Maur of course not Citadel", she replied. Looking him over. He was handsome but not like the prince's. His was a more rough and rugged kind.

His brow rose as she spoke and he nods lightly. No duh. He soon moves from his saddle and head to a place to where he could sit. His gelding still peacefully grazing contently. Why did that stupid horse make him stop? for his own pleasures? "yeah I guess I really don't belong anywhere. Born and raised in Von Maur.. but I travel all over the place to be considered just a civilian of one area." he moves his hand over his face before he sat back against the tree he nestled himself down into.
"What brings you two out here? Just a walk? Is a beautiful day for one." he said nodding his head lightly. He breathes in. Why was he trying to still carrie on a conversation?? He could almost whop himself for it. But of course he has been out of it the passed few days.

Julianne listened as she moved and settled on a large rock once more. She nodded. Looking at Drew then him. "Its just a place we come time from time. To get away from everyay life" it was Drews tones that sounded this time. Juli looked over at him and raised a brow but shrugged. "What he said", she said brightly.
Queen who was laying in the grass hidden sort of. The small white cat stood and streached. Light eyes found a new commer. Stalking over tail twicthing she neared and meowed questioningly. Reaching the man she sniffed around him cautiouse. Juli sighed from her seat. "Sorry about her she's a cat what could I say", she said shaking her head. If he wanted the cat away she would go collect her otherwise she would leave her be.

Raphael looks as he spoke and he nodded and then eyes went to the cat. He grins lightly and leaned forwards letting the cat smell at him. "Curious things." he said looking towards Juli. He lightly let his fingers trace over her head as she welcomingly let him but still rather cautious about him. he made soft clicking noises to her and she still seemed to be rather interested in him. Eyes move back up towards Julianne and he smiled.
"she's cool.. its no problem to me." he said. His eyes wandered to his gelding. "he can be the same way...Just think. A horse thinking he is something smaller."

Julianne smiled watching him and her cat. Drew watched silently face showing nothing at all. Silvery blue eyes went to the horse. then him. "Intreging. Well Queen sufferes from a over nice personality", she said laughing lightly. It was too true the cat was forever encouraging attention from others. She was forever going to strangers leading Juli to meet some of the strangest people when she was chasing after the white cat.
Queen purred after a while at peace with the man. She moved closer rubbing her head against his hand. Eyes closeing. Giving a pleased meow as she purred loudly.

He laughs lightly and keeps stroking the cat as she drew closer to him, making herself comfortable. He scratches beneath her chin as she raises her head up eyes closed. Ruse looks towards the cat and shakes his head vigorously and snorts. "Calm down Ruse." he said as he scooted the cat to the side. The horse snorted again lowering his head nibbling at the grass and stomping his front hoof.
He lowers his head back into the wood that was behind him as his eyes stares forwards for a second looking towards the man for a breif second and then towards the woman. "well I would rather have a overly nice cat then a mean one." he glances at Ruse who snorted again and shook his head before raising it as he chews on the grass stareing at the young lass almost giving a horsey glare.. He picked up a rock and threw it at his horse who merely jumped and side stepped. "Ruse can be a pain." He answered gruffly.

Drew shrugged and for the first time since the other arrived he looked away. Grabbing a rock near by he threw it at the lake plucking a long blade of grass he slwoly reduced it's size.
Julianne shook her head watching her cat. Standing she moved over and carefully bent down picking Queen up when he pushe dher away a bit seeing it caused conflict with the horse. Kissing the cats head gently she moved back to her rock and sat down settling the cat in her lap. "All animals have there down sides", she mused. Queen was contempt to simply be petted so she stayed in Juli's lap.
