Krono's Lessons (Beginning Horseback Riding)
Timestamp: Hour 9 of Ioannes, Brightening 4 of the First Cycle, Summer of Era I.
ooc: This thread is for Krono's training everyone. Krono...you can either self-mod this or I can mod it for you! I'll just start it off so you have something to go to. It you need anything changed, don't hesitate to tell me!
Yarrow and Krono had been warned that Master Morph was a strange man, but they had no idea just
how strange he was. As they came up to a clearing in the woods where Yarrow had once been taught magic, the teacher found them. Master Morph wore a tunic and breachers that looked normal enough, but old and a little dirty. Yarrow wondered when the last time he had cleaned them, but gave up after the tenth dirt stain. He didn't smile, but his blue eyes twinkled with hidden laughter. His hair looked to be brown, but it was greasy and unkept.
Are you Master Morph? Yarrow asked him, cautiosly. She felt a dagger under a sleeve, but she didn't give it away. She could be a dangerous woman, if tested.
I am. Are you the Woodruff girl? I have heard things said about you...and this is my pupil? He gestured toward Krono. Yarrow nodded her head wordlessly and he glanced at her horse.
Chestnut was a male horse of the Juanerro breed. It was easy to see how he got his name. He was all chestnut in color. On his back he wore a saddle. A bit, bridal & halt completed his gear. That was all that the horse had on him and that was all Yarrow thought he needed. He will do.
Master Morph remarked and then he turned his blue glinting eyes upon Krono. Who are you then? His voice became softer when he spoke to the boy and Yarrow was a little relieved. She drew a deep breath and nodded. This would be fine. She left teacher and boy quietly...not wanting to disturb them as they got use to each other...
