By da Loa, I don't believe it...

[There's the loud screech of a raptor and Kevas chuckles happily.]

I be happy to see joo too girl! Let's getchu outta dere befuh joo end up killin' everyt'ing in here.

[Another screech and Kevas laughs.]

Hey now quit joor fussin'!

[There's some silence before Kevas finally speaks again.]

Anymon be knowin' if dere be some sepuhrate stables round here?

[In the background the raptor screeches again.]

Oi! Don'tchu go runnin' off now!

[Anyone near the stables or in the Green will find Kevas walking beside a unique looking raptor. It's significantly larger than the other raptors in the stables but Kevas can be seen gently petting its snout or playing with it like it's a loving family pet.]

[Don't worry big guy, there's no shame in losing to a girl.

Kevas chances a glance and catches Talia pacing beside him and Shaka. The raptor screeches again. It's hard to tell who's having the most fun right now. He wonders just how long it's been since Shaka last stretched her legs like this. She's got plenty of energy that she needs to burn off.

He smiles and loosens his grip on the reins. For now he'll let Shaka have control, trusting her only as one who truly knows their mount can.]

[No shame at all, and she'd not rub your nose in it anyway, cause she wuvvums you heap big times! :D

She hears Shaka before she sees her, the raptor zipping past her with a delighted sounding screech. Talia laughs, her own mount seeming infuriated at being bested. She allows the full out run for only a few more moments before gently reining him in.

He protests at first, fighting against the bitless bridle. Talia, whle loving to see the stallion so pleased in motion, is firm and reins in again a bit heavier and with a snort, the stallion breaks his stride and begins to slow from a gallop, to a trot and finally down to a easy gaited walk.

To say that Talia appears a bit windswept is understating the matter entirely. Still, she is beaming brightly, heaving out a shaky and delighted exhale.]

[Aw, that just makes him feel all warm and fuzzy.

When Kevas see Talia slow down he pulls back on his reins as well. Shaka screeches in protest, not wanting to slow down but another tug and she complies. He feels a little bad for ending her fun but there will be other times when she can run to her heart's content.

He turns Shaka around and trots her back over to Talia. If the grin on Kevas' face grows any wider his face will be in danger of splitting.]

I t'ink dey enjoyed demselves.

[Talia makes a weak attempt at smoothly her unruly hair, but gives up a moment later, her own cheeks aching from grinning so much. She laughs softly at his assessment and she nods.]

I should say so! Haven knows, I would let this one run all day if not for the threat of foundering him. The stubborn mule would run himself to the ground if given the chance.

Maybe he just be wantin' to impress da ladymons here.

[The troll's smile lessens but is no less fond. Truly she's a magnificent sight perched atop her mount like this. Everyday he counts himself lucky for just being with her.

He reaches a hand out and gently removes a few strands of her from her face.]

I know I would.

[thequeensown]

Mmmm, perhaps.

[How did this silly Herald ever get so lucky, hmm? As he brushes hair from her eyes, her wide grin softens and she turns her head enough to brush her lips along his wrist. Is that a happy flush across her cheeks? M'yep!]

Oh, you have nothing to fear in that regard, Kevas.

[Why because she saw something more to him than a giant ball of crazy.]

Don't mean I still ain't gonna try.

[The troll winks before leaning in to steal a kiss from her.]
