Ki gave Hester a quick glance before dropping his gaze again. Though uncommon in the Snowfields, shifters weren’t unheard of. He tilted his head so he could see Byron. This fellow must be an Elder Male, how he carried himself. Why was he so confrontational though? Was he showing off for his mate?
“My horse is in need of new shoes,” he said softly.

“I can do that for you once this hot shot moves on...” she glared at Byron.

Ki shifted, confused. Why was Azrael speaking to this male like that? Had he miscalculated their ranks? His hackles has been slowly rising this entire time; he did not like this at all. This was a ripe situation for bloodshed. He growled softly to himself, eye darting between the three strangers. The piebald nickered as he stepped back behind her, ready to flee.

Hester sighed and turned back.
“Come on.” She said to Ki leading him past the two.

Meanwhile, inside the castle, Cordelia was polishing shoes next to one of the large windows, facing the front of the castle. She surveyed the scene and watched as things played out. Boy was she happy to be inside. Sir Byron passed her and out the door with a menacing pace. She did not want to get on his bad side. Though she worries about the tall knight. There were some speculations that being such a tall gent may shorten his lifespan. Something like that would be crucial knowledge and she mused at such science. A simpleton Cordelia was. She did not know how to read thus all her specialties fell under cleaning and errands, not to mention collecting secrets. She was tired today. Sleep was not kind to her as of late so while no one was looking she rested her head against the cold stone wall and closed her eyes.

Hester finally lost her temper. Her hair flared a bright blue and she transformed. To hell with the rest of them. Maybe Cordelia would be better company.

Ki stepped quickly after Hester, keeping his horse on his blind side. Now that he was in the presence of a ranked female, Ki kept his head down respectfully. He tried to ignore the loud sounds of the city that rang out around him, but he was on edge now and tensed as people passed him by.

“Here.” She said bluntly showing Ki where he could take care of his horse. Without another word she slipped away.

Ki watched after Hester until she disappeared into the crowd. With a sigh, he gave himself a dog-like shake. He’d have to watch out for that male, but for now the ranking individuals here seemed content letting him be.
The building Hester had led him to didn’t seem like much, made of wood and roofed with thatch, but there was no drama here. He’d get his horse shoed, and then find a place for the night. He took out the small purse hidden beneath his clothes, weighing it in his hands. It held a few copper coins, not much, but hopefully enough.

Jenny stood up, her legs were wobbly. Those shadows.... were....men. But not just any men.
