The Captain and his horse only ever leave the Garrison in the case of the most intense conflicts. Commander Crush is leading the cavalry today, and Handsome is used to long, arduous excursions.<\/p>\n KristalClear and Handsome know each other well. There\u2019s a certain telepathic chemistry between them. Handsome seems agitated. KristalClear can tell, and tunes in to the wavelength.<\/p>\n \u00ab What\u2019s wrong? \u00bb<\/p>\n \u00ab Wild goose chase, \u00bb says Handsome, \u00ab the pigeon tells me that the raiding party is led by BlackDog. \u00bb<\/p>\n \u00ab So, what does that mean? \u00bb<\/p>\n \u00ab BlackDog is the second in command. BlackCloud isn\u2019t there. The raiders will be long gone by the time we arrive! A long journey for nothing. An overnight rest, and then another long journey back here tomorrow. \u00bb<\/p>\n \u00ab That\u2019s a good thing isn\u2019t it? No fighting? \u00bb<\/p>\n \u00ab All that energy being expended for nothing. And it intrudes into my weekend! I\u2019ll have only one day\u2019s rest instead of two. Have you ever been to the outpost down south? Only one groom, and he can barely cope working his stable alone. I\u2019ll be hot and smelly! The whole cavalry will be hot and smelly! Samson and the Clydesdales are going to get all the attention until we get back here tomorrow. Are you coming over tomorrow? And hose me down? Make me feel human again? \u00bb<\/p>\n \u00ab You\u2019re not human! \u00bb<\/p>\n \u00ab You know what I mean! Can you be here? \u00bb<\/p>\n \u00ab I\u2019m always here on Saturdays! Though I guess there won\u2019t be much to do until you lot get back. Just equipment cleaning! Followed by tons more cleaning when the whole cavalry returns. Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning! It\u2019ll be a long day for me too. \u00bb<\/p>\n As CandiCrush leads a party of 36 mounted marines out of the gates, KristalClear blows her a kiss. Or perhaps that was a kiss for Handsome?<\/p>\n Previous<\/a> – Book1 Page55 \u2013 Next<\/a><\/p>\n Previous – Book1 Page55 \u2013 Next In the opposite stable Samson, the Captain\u2019s horse, is happily watching all the commotion.
