// oh, tell me when you were broken //
Colt’s appearance is granted a grin and a wave, even if the courtesan can practically feel the tension in the air. The speaking squirrels are essentially ignored for the drama that he can sense ahead of him, and already he’s planning on asking her if she’d like to share a tent when they stop to rest for the night just to hear all about it.
For now, though, they’ve got work ahead of them. And Thorn listens diligently as Sunjata lists out the tasks, nodding and brushing his hair back and out of his face to place a wide brim hat there, lest he become blind the second they get started working. Then, everyone starts to break up to get in their respective positions – and Thorn, who has very little experience riding horses is given his own.
Pausing to run his hand along the side of the gelding’s neck, taking a deep breath to steady himself. Tex is his name, the courtesan has been told, and he murmurs a soft little greeting before he’s getting help from one of the hands to get onto the horse. Once he’s finally settled and has murmured his thanks, he takes Colt’s advice to heart and sucks in a breath, trying his best to figure out the basics with the horse beneath him.
And once he’s got a loose idea of it, Thorn starts heading out toward the herd with the hands.
Thorn saddles up and heads out toward the herd when they all get started!
