Beyond the Castle, part one. (Two person.)

Araline:

My face lit up.  I started running to it, my fingers slipping out of his.  

Ario:

I chuckled and followed her. Once I was at the fence I climbed over and called. "Hey! Vial! Where are you mate?!"

Araline:

I climbed over the fence as well and landed next to him looking up at his face when he called out someone’s name.

Ario:

I smiled as Vial and her husband came towards us. "Well, I see your back you little ruffian. Go ahead and check on Lily I know you want to." She said gesturing with her head. I grinned at her and took off running. Behind me I heard Vial introducing herself to Araline.

Araline:

I half curtsied. “Who is Lily?” I asked.

Vial:

"While Ario doesn't get along with horses very well, he loves dogs. Lily is our dog and more than likely he is being ambushed by her puppies." I replied motioning with my head for her to follow.

Araline:

I laughed softly and followed her eagerly.

Vial:

When we found Ario, he was under a pile of puppies some attacking him, some licking, others sleeping. Either way he was almost completely covered.

Araline:

I laughed and dropped to my knees next to him. A few puppies piled into my lap and tried to lick my face. I giggled and hugged them.

ARio:

I smiled up at ARaline. I could see the bright spark in her eyes that meant she was loving this.

Araline:

I lifted a puppy up letting him lick my face.  I laughed and kissed his head before grinning at Ario. 

Ario:

I grinned back at her, petting Lily's head.

Araline:

I played with the puppies a little more then got to my feet. “I want to see the horses now.”

Ario:

i shook off the puppies and took her hand before leading her out of the barn. I grabbed a carrot and held it up before whistling loudly. They all came running.

Araline:

I watched them, starry eyed. I went up to a solid black one and rubbed his neck.

I smiled watching her before moving behind her and hugging her from behind around the waist.

Araline:

I blinked in surprise then smiled back at him. “Thank you for bringing me here, I love it.”

I nodded smiling at her. "Of course. They breed and sell horses. If you ever need one come here for one."

Araline:

“The palace as it’s own stables. I’m not allowed there though, they are for parades mostly. I wonder if they get them from here?” I said thoughtfully.

"Its possible. I know of only two other stables and neither is exactly close by the palace." I replied thinking for a moment.

Araline:

“Are we allowed to ride them?” I asked looking up at him.
