Sparky stood stalk still. "Um, I guess that would be me." He shivered, and his tail fluffed in displeasure. "Rain." He groaned at the prospect of having to walk in it... Maybe the rain would let up at some time.

Hazel was out of bed, and carried porridge out with her. "Oh, do you want some?" Hazel hadn't yet eaten breakfast, but she was willing to go back in to get another if Ashia hadn't either.

Brandon trudged down the stairs, grabbed an apple, and sat down with Matamba in the Black Bear Diner(or something like that).

"I'll eat later don't worry," Ashia set down the blueberries, "Jackson whenever you're ready let's begin."

Justin shook his head, "For the future land on the bay mare she is likely to try and kill you for that. Shield threw a shoe huh? Are you okay?"

Sparky nodded slowly, "No damage from the horse, just going to hate the rain." He shivered again, and his tail flicked back and forth in agitation.

Hazel watched the two, Jackson and Ashia, with mild interest. Brandon burst outside at one point, looking like he had just rolled out of bed and yawning. Matamba was of course right beside him, mewing up at him like a little kitten.

(Jackson is your character and I don't fully know how you would protray him so I'm gonna leave him as yours.)

"Good," Justin said, "be careful around Shield."

Scarlet jumped up next to Ashia, "Morning."

Brandon and Matamba are now playing catch.

Hazel is watching the two of the archers.

Jackson nods to Ashia, "No matter how much I hate to admit it, you do seem to know and do a lot better than I. I am honored to be taught by you." He took a small bow.

Sparky sighed. "Anyone would think I'm not trying. I am. It's just the horse is out to get me." He glanced briefly at Shield.

"He's out to get everyone. Shield used to be my father's spirit animal," Justin explains.

"Thank you and I am honored to teach you. So what do you want to strt with," Ashia asks.

Sparky was quiet a moment. "Since I don't see your father, I'm guessing something bad happened to him."

"... Maybe bond?" Jackson choose one of the things to work on.

"He was killed by thieves when he went after them and they ambushed him," Justin answered.

"Okay then sit down and summon Barnabus," Ashia spoke.

"I'm sorry." The answer was automatic, but also heartfelt. Sparky knew how it was to loose someone/something close to your heart.

Jackson obeyed. Barnabus appeared with a startled snort. He growled with interest at seeing his 'little sister'.

"On the floor not on a chair, "Ashia moved the chairs and table away, "sit comfortably."
Barnabus this is going to sound a little strange but please sit down beside Jackson where you can be comfortable," Scarlet spoke, then just follow my instructions okay?


"Thank you," Justin said automaticlly as well though heartfelt, "so do you plan on staying here after you pay off your tab?"
