[RQ] just two boys doing what their dads say

Not unlike Marcus, Amhran had slept and slept hard after the trip to bring the herd of luxere through to the Citadel. He'd surfaced in time - just - to get himself dressed and to hurry out to the springs, though the ache in his back and legs makes the journey slow going at best. By the time Marcus comes to join him he's just finishing a hot cup of cocoa purchased from a stall along the way, the Raeling gazing longingly out at the springs as if wishing he could soak in them instead. Saddle-sore doesn't even come close. "Hallo," he murmurs as the hybrid approaches, setting down his cup and offering a small wave. Around them the luxere shift and move, clearly unbothered by their presence not only because they've been offered shelter, warmth and food, but they also seem to recognise the boys' presence from the previous day. "Are you ready? Maybe purifying the springs will help us to feel better as well." amhran amhran
