Wind rode back to Nienna, panting and smiling. Their job was done here. She glanced around, seeing Ariadne, Faeron, Elanor, and...where was Strethin?

Elanor and Faeron started to ride back together but then saw that the others had stopped, "What's wrong?" She called back to them.

Fwee!

Nienna looked up at Elanor.
"Nothing." she said. "Back to the stables."
Some of the leather armour for Nelanya had been torn badly, and a few tiny cuts appeared on the Dark Bays side.
Nienna frowned. The wounds were prone to infection, she had to treat them as quickly as she could.
"Come." she shouted. Nelanya trotted forwards and Nienna urged her into a gallop.

Elanor and Faeron trotted back up and went to the stables. Harma had a gash in her left leg whcih Elenwë bathed in salt water.

Faeron looked Fuin over and found him to be in pretty good shape, only a few cuts.

Nienna carefully treated Nelanya.
"Well done out there girl." she whispered.
Nelanya whinnied happily, and Nienna kissed her softly.

Nienna looked over at Elanor.
"Nice work tonight." she smiled. "Your one of the best in our group. Keep it up."

"Thank you." Elanor replied softy then added, "but Faeron has saved me from some close shaves too many times. I must practice more."

Nienna smiled.
"Im training tonight. Fancy coming??"
She unsheathed her dagger from its scabbard, and placed it in a small cabinet, along with the scabbard, but kept her sword.

(((Just so you all know, Nienna owns these stables, they are near her house, they arent the public stables.
It is where they keep the groups horses, weapons, unless they wish to keep them with them, and supplies.)))

"Um, I would but I'm going to stay in tonight, I'm exhausted, I get tired so easily these days." She said to her friend, hoping that she wouldn't be offended.

Fwee!

Ariadne let Ahearn trot to the stables. He was unscathed, though he had a bruise on his side, and a minor assortment of cuts. She quickly cleaned them and untacked him. She stayed there for awhile, petting him and takling to him. Finally she left. She had to clean and take care of her weapons. "See you later, Nienna, Elanor!" Ariande called.

"Bye." Elanor and Faeron said in unison. Moments later they left too, hand in hand, towards their home.

Nienna stayed behind.
Her face and body were drenched in orc blood, and traces of her own.
Her hair was tangled and notted, and her dress was ripped and torn.
Nienna smiled to herself.
She looked a state. She couldnt let Strethin see her like this!
Quickly, but reluctently, she rushed inside to clean herself up.

After arriving back at the stables and houses, Wind took care of Miroc, said goodbye to the others, and went to her own house to clean up a few cuts, and take care of her weapons.
She tried to relax, but was too tense to be tired. She went outside and started practicing her sword forms on the grass.

Ariadne finished polishing and sharpening her newly cleaned glaive. She picked it up and swung it a few times. it sailed through the air easily. Ariadne walked outside to practice more with it. There she saw Wind.
"Hello!" She called. "Do you want to practice with me?"

Wind looked up when she heard Ariadne's voice. "Sure!" she called, and walked over to meet her.

((what's a glaive? ))

(A glaive is like a staff, only it has a blade on the end. http://www.conqueronline.com/guide/imag ... ng_ren.jpg Like that, only hers isn't as ornate. )

"That's a nice sword you have" Ariadne commented. "where did you get it?"

((That's cool!))

"My father gave it too me..." Wind's voice trailed off, and a look of sadness came into her eyes. After a brief moment she seemed to shake off her mood and brought her sword up abruptly. "So, let's see what you're staff can do against me!"
