Aislan smiled at Alearindu's offer.
'Of course. It would be a handful, to say the least, to take all these horses into the stables alone. Besides, I don't believe Rustal is going anywhere without a fight. I would be grateful for your company,' Aislan kept her eye on Rustal as she spoke.
The great stallion turned his head a little, just enough to keep one large brown eye on Alearindu and Aislan. Rustal snorted and put his head down, as if to take up more grass. Aislan was wary though, and gently moved Alearindu to the right a bit, just in case Rustal was getting any ideas.
'So, we will be going into the stables together?' Alearindu made certain one last time, and went to back to stand by Mornen once Aislan had nodded a yes. Aislan took a few steps to stand near Rustal.
'You better not try anything. You could hurt someone with those strong legs and hoofs of yours. Besides, people wouldn't stay so far away from you if you were a little nicer. Then again I bet that is what you want,' Aislan whispered to Rustal, before backing away near Midnight.
So Aislan would be accopmanied by Alearindu. Aislan was happy, she didn't exactly fancy the idea of going anywhere near the castle, much less on her own with only the horses. Not to say that the horses were bad company. Even the horses needed someone to go along with them to the castle.
