 Dckd: *does so, rubbing it softly, but then looks up at her in surprise* Me? But . . . he belongs to you…?
Riana: Yes, but he will be your companion. You need to be comfortable with him, know him well. You will name him and care for him as though he is your own.

Dckd: *nods thoughtfully, loving on that big, soft muzzle* Does he need a name right /now/? *doesn't know any good horse names, wants time to think of something that will work well*

[socrowdedinhere]

Riana: No, but you will want to name him soon. *she'll step around to explain how to get on the horse.*

[dragondancer5150]

Dckd: *nods, then is attentive to the instruction*

[socrowdedinhere]

Riana: *once he's mounted she'll mount her own horse and shift closer to a stack of crates, patting her lap. Seiya will jump up to ride with her.* You do not need to be hard with your directions. Horses are smart animals, just guide him.

[dragondancer5150]

Dckd: *nods, watching her* Do you mind me asking where we're going? And what about Lan? Is he coming with us?

[socrowdedinhere]

Riana: We're traveling east...where exactky is yet to be seen. And Lan will catch up with us.

[dragondancer5150]

Dckd: You don't know where we're going? *genuinely surprised*

[socrowdedinhere]

Riana: *little smile* Not entirely. The one I'm trying to meet up with travels constanly.

[dragondancer5150]

Dckd: Ah, I see. *goes quiet…then /really/ goes quiet as he debates if he should ask or not…*

[socrowdedinhere]

Riana: *studies him...or rather Seiya does.* What's on your mind, Deckard?

[dragondancer5150]

Dckd: *flinches* Eh? O-oh, ah . . . just . . . wondering something . . . *hunched, gaze down*

[socrowdedinhere]

Riana: *she has her horse drop back beside him.* You don't have to be afaid to speak to me, Deckard. I'm not going to be angry with you for asking questions, or speaking your mind.

[dragondancer5150]

Dckd: …..but…I'm a slave now…? *isn't he not even supposed to speak at all without express permission? Or something…*

[socrowdedinhere]

Riana: Your change in status has not changed that you are a living, feeling person.

[dragondancer5150]

Dckd: ……………… *nods* Why . . . why did you buy me? What do you intend to do with me?


((OMG WHAT...help, I'm looking at joining another game. @,@ Super slow and super small, with super easy AC, but still. But Kiwi's got The Spine there, plus three other Steam Powered Giraffe robots are there too, and I REALLY REALLY want to get to play Deckard interacting with other sentient, human-built robots that aren't either his own team or brainwashed murderous war machines. 8D))

Riana: ....I felt drawn to you. I coundn't say by what exactly, but I felt I should. I have no intentions beyond that.

((you're asking this of me? The one that put in tow apps in a week and was considering a third app? I'm afraid I'll be of no use talking you out of anything.))

[dragondancer5150]

Dckd: I see. Thank you. I won't let you down.


((XD;;;))

Riana: ...I hope you can come to accept a life with us. I'm sorry for your losses, I can't return that season of your life to you, but I can promise to give you my protection, and as best a life as possible now.

[dragondancer5150]

Dckd: *nods, small grin* I'm grateful, Lady. I really am. *small frown* What happens to me if something happens to you, though. Or ...or if something happens and you can't keep me?

[socrowdedinhere]

Riana: I will make arrangements the next time we stop. You won't face the markets again.
