lol ok that was awesome

[LucasJamison]

His body language betraying significant discomfort at the gesture, Lucas hesitates only slightly before gripping Tybalt's hand.  He replies, "Thank you..." and then uncertianly continues, "I feel like I should say it out loud, however meaningless as it may be to you or anyone else. I forgive you. More for my own sake than yours, and not without some trepidation, but still... there it is."

And with the last word barely past his lips, Lucas is no longer present.

[cattana423]

Tybalt's face shows surprise at lucas' words but has no time for a reply befre the gentleman is gone ."You always did  have to have the last word didn't you " turning he watches as bishop slips through the crowd toward the stables as tybalt turns to search out antonio .
 Finding him chatting up a lady young enough to be his daughter and with enough titles to bury a goat  tyablt slaps him on the back and whispers into his ear. Giving his master a strange look he arches an eyebrow before kissing the young noble womans  hand and excuseing himself .

[cattana423]

Tybalt sweep the lady a bow lower then she might normally expect and rises taking her hand in his . Gently he sets his lips to the back of her hand before rising to look into her blushing face. Forgive me Sweet lady for stealing your noble sutior away mid court. " Still holding her hand he turns and leads her through the crowd towards a still stunned sammy "allow me to make it up to you by introducing my good friend and soon to be traveling companion Lord Sammuel Falcon "

[cattana423]

Leaving the stunned sammi to speak to the lovely lady after telling him where to find him when the conversation is done, tybalt leave discreetly out a side door . Once out he heads swiftly towards the stables.Looking around he ducks into the building noticing that it to is decorated for the celebration There is a single young lady standing in front of the stable he was looking for seemingly unaware of his presence

[cattana423]

A silver plate over the stall says simple "Donato ".Stepping up behind the young lady on cats paws ,the sleek sable stallion of about 6 years old noticing his approach first. His words taking the young lady by surprise as he speaks to the horse "how Donato did you manage to find such a lovely date for the festivities?"

[Cody Capulet-Kane]

The woman shrieks, spins and drops into a low curtsy. Contrary to the impression from behind, the young lady proves to not be so young, but of a woman in her late forties. Her brown hair is touched with gray, which Tybalt gets a full look at from her bowed head.

"My lord," she breathes. "I did not expect you in the stables this evening, nor did my aging ears hear you light step. How may I be of service?"

The horse snorts and grabs a sugar cube off of the railing.

[cattana423]

(ooc young is relative )
Tybalt offers his hand to lift her from her curtsy "Please stand lady we are in a stable not a palace ." he smile as he hleps her and watches donato eat the sugar cube " You should be enjoying the evening and the festivities. I wanted to make sure don here got a chance to enjoy  the feast " From his sling he withdraws an apple  and a carrot and weighing them both in his hand holds the carrot up to be munched  and then places the  apple in the matrons hand .As donato reaches out to eat the carrot he can not help but meet tybalts eyes locked on his own  "tell me has he gotten much chance to run with his mistress gone ?"

[Cody Capulet-Kane]

The woman rises. "As much as he can without his Mistress." Her clothing is modest and that of a matron. Her skirts are a dark green as is her bodice.

"He runs through the northern pasture twice a day, but rider-less. None other than his Mistress can ride him and none other than myself can care for him; he simply will not cater to another man's, or woman's, whim."

She reaches up and strokes the velvety horse on the nose. "It has always been so, my Lord."

[cattana423]

tybalt still looks the horse in the eye  starring into the bottomless brown wells of his pupils. When he speaks his voice sounds slightly farther away then it should " That makes him perfect for her. Too many people would have to break him where she acceptted him for his willfullness .   Your mistress is just as stubborn and unruly as you but also as stunning and powerful.Tell me donato do you miss her ?  do you miss your headlong sprints through the mists she would share with you ?"

[Cody Capulet-Kane]

The woman takes a step away, giving Tybalt his space with the horse.

Donato shakes his head, snorts and stomps his left foot in the dirt. 

[cattana423]

tybalt turns and faces the woman." please prepare him to ride.Use cody's saddle  but dont add the bit. We are going to need to use some thing special.' turning back to the horse" you have two choices creature. You can be ridden or you can follow. We are going try and find out what is keeping your mistress. " stably walks over to the feed box and takes out a carrot and an apple before returning to face donato. As he places the apple and the carrot in front of the horse and begins to speak " I am done making everyones decision for them so  choose my child . If you choose the apple then you choose to wait for your mistress before you will be saddled . if you choose the carrot you choose to bear my weight .  but the Choice is he....yours " shaking his hea he turns to the barn door  and mumbles" what is a babycart of death?.." straightening up he looks at the door as antonio walks in followed by several burdened pages. Each  carries  dusty canvas bags . antonio is muttering under his breath  with only the occasional "old,,,,,,,,stubborn,,,,,mule,,,,,fool,,,not beaten enough,,,,"being understandable. It is not until he has set down the bags he carried and stood up that he notices the woman . he quickly trys to brush as much dust off his fine clothes as possible  and bows and smiles at her . Tybalt watches the whole thing with a smile and nods at the pages

[Cody Capulet-Kane]

Georgina wrinkles her nose and steps back to the horse, petting his nose affectionately. Donato ignores the offerings.

"Forgive me a thousand times for being so forward, but I feel driven to inquire. Why are you bargaining with him, sir? He's more likely to lie down and take a nap than respond in any fashion you've offered him, much like his Lady and much like HER father." The faintest hint of a smirk sparkles at him from behind her faultless manners.

"Might I suggest riding the Lady Bella's steed instead and offer Donato the opportunity to follow, or not at his whim?"  She reaches out and tweaks the horse's ear affectionately. He expresses his opinion on the entire exchange as fragrantly as a horse ever has and Georgina raises an 'I told you so' eyebrow to Tybalt.

[cattana423]

tybalt begins to take various pieces of black clothing out of the bags as he speaks." your manners are beyond reproach good lady so no apology needed. as to your question we both know  donny and animals in general understand more then most think. Due to the nature of the journey protective measures will be required to make travel safe. I need to know if he will need such measures. Besides due to my own.........head space i feel the need to let beings make their own decision rather then give into the temptation to make it for them or manipulate them into making the decision i want. If he cant decide then he is welcome to take a nap, lord knows i wish i could."tybalt is now dressed in along black linen overcoat  that covers him from the hood all the way down to his boots  . laying on the floor next to him is a long nosed venetian plague mask( http://www.travelblog.org/Photos/240889.html).He looks briefly at the stall containing bella's horse with a look of sadness. He steps past it up to the last stall on the end . In it stands a large sleek mottled black and brown horse . the silver sign over the stall says simply "en passant"
