The moonlight flowed strongly down onto the spring vegetation as the soft warm breeze danced about the land. The moon was almost full, slowly reaching it’s complete glory. It was too beautiful a night for the fragile young maiden to stay within the manor. Her grandmother forbade her from leaving the manor during the darker hours though she had managed to slip out after making it look as though she were asleep in her bed. Her palfrey moved skittishly below her, it’s trot anxiously enthusiastic below her. It still hadn’t recovered from it’s shock the other day with the warlock. She had managed to put her hands on another ornamental bridle, the ivory horn spiralling from the brow band of the bridle. The silver moonlight gleamed off of the white coat of the palfrey and created molten ripples in Jasmine’s hair. Urging her mount forth into a graceful gallop, a smile grew upon her face. She loved when the wind howled about her, the scent of fresh spring flowers seeping into her lungs and spreading through her body. The jousting season had not yet started, though tents were being raised during the light hours to prepare for it, giving Jasmine and her mare obstacles to swerve around and through.

On the other side of the Jousting area another pair of horse and rider stood watching the shadows play across the ground. Sam's red hair drifting down her back and her mens breeches making it more comfortable to ride astride the big black gelding. King picked his way around different objects never seeming to care where he was going, until he scented the horse across the way and shied before bucking sending Samantha falling to the ground no matter how desperatly she tried to hold on. King pranced off a few feet before coming back to his fallen mistress head down almost ashamed, but his ears and eyes betrayed that he was nervous and he lipped Sam's head for comfort and to apologize. "Yeah Yeah I forgive you. You big knucklehead.' Sam muttered wrapping her arms around her geldings neck in a hug before wincing at the tear in her brothers breeches. "Uh oh.." She muttered along with a long stream of curses unhearable to the normal ear

The small palfrey’s movements came to a skidding halt as something it saw from the corner of its eye sent it shying sideways. Jasmine managed to stay upon the white mares back, grasping her mane tightly with slender fingers, clinging with her legs which in turn, sent the palfrey jumping forth into a wild gallop. Jasmine’s heart raced in her chest at the abnormal behaviour of her mount. She had to work on the trust and confidence factor with the mare once more. Jasmine pulled tightly upon her right rein, pulling the white pony’s head into its ribs, making its strides slow until it was walking in tight circles. ”Good girl. It’s all right. Good Girl” Jasmine cooed softly to the mare, sliding off her back and stroking her neck reassuringly before she looked in the direction when the source of her horses uneasiness came from. Lavender eyes opened slightly wider at the sight of a girl upon the ground. She didn’t seem harmed as she hugged the large black destrier. She was a little surprised that a girl would be on such a horse. She approached slowly, weary of the large beast though needing to assure herself that the girl was all right. ”Excuse me. Are you all right?” Jasmine’s gaze moved nervously from the girl to the beast, her palfrey nothing but a speck compared to it.[/color]

Sam's blue eyes flicked up to meet Jasmines. And she clutched onto King's reins just in cause he decided to do something funny. "Yeah. I'm alright." She said a little breathless her red hair falling in tendrils around her face. "Didn't mean to scare your horse." She said her blue eyes apologetic as King bent his large black head in a bow the almost reached his knees. The shorter girl smiled smally and reached a hand out palm up for the white horse to sniff.

Jasmine looked over the girl, still worried that she might have been hurt. It was quite a fall from a beast like the one which she was holding. ”It’s alright. She’s been rather spookish lately” Her gaze moved momentarily to the white mare that stood beside her, tightening her hold on her reins slightly to stop her from shifting around too much. The palfrey was rather anxious about being around the larger horse though hesitantly examined the other girls hand with its muzzle. Jasmine smiled and shook her head lightly before looking back at the girl. ”Excuse my manners. I am Lady Jasmine of Salisbury” She curtsied softly to the girl, running her fingers down her mares neck reassuringly once more.[/color]

Samantha smiled. "My name is Samantha Forster. I'd curtsey but I'm not exactly dressed to." She said as King lipped at Sam's hair playfully. She giggled slightly as she felt the black horses muzzle touch the back of her neck. Sam lovingly rain her hand down the horses face. "Easy boy no showing off." She crooned in the horses cupped ear. "I didn't mean to make you worry." Sam's sapphire eyes returned to the lady standing before her.

Jasmine’s gaze washed over the young girl as she spoke. She hadn’t seen many young maidens that dressed in boys clothes and he expression was rather amused. She looked back at the large horse behind her as the girl giggled. The creature still unnerved he and she was curious why and how she came across the beast. Such a specimen would make a grand expensive warhorse but it’s temperament didn’t seem to fit the beastly picture. ”It is quite alright but tell me....Why does a girl ride such a creature?” Her curiosity was perked as her small palfrey continued to shuffle nervously beside her.[/color]

Samantha closed her eyes for a moment before she opened them and spoke "King's my best friend and I don't think he can tell he's bigger than me." The big black gelding only proved this by leaning his head on her shoulder breathing deeply. His midnight mane mingling with Sam's fire red hair, King's brown eyes only showed affection and not the mean temperment a lot of people expect from a destrier his size. "Truthfully he's just a big baby." Samantha said half sarcasticly
