Posted by Lifehouse on September 15, 2008, 2:07 pm, in reply to "-- lifehouse" Lifehouse can see the certainty that other horses have while they are moving around unafraid of the world around them. She wonders whether she will ever be like that, whether she will come to love this land and it love her. A thousand questions start to build up in her head, none of them ever making the grade to be spoken at a later time. Lifehouse

He startles her (truthfully, it does not take much), but she takes less time to recover than she used to. This new world is starting to take a hold of her, and while that frightens her and she still fights it, she is slowly losing the will to fight. So instead of shifting away she stands still, eyeing Micah with a wary expression. Lifehouse registers the calm and soothing tone in his voice, the tenderness in her smile, and though she cannot bring herself to trust such actions she does offer a small smile of her own shy and uncertain. She does not like the idea that he can read her mind, and does not trust his statement to only do it when he musts.
The grey mare listens though, eager and curious about what Micah will be able to teach her. Whether she was even capable of learning anything.
The question is not something that she is used to, and as she steps to follow him on the walk she takes a couple moments to think. She will not speak a word until she has it all sorted out in her mind, until she has found the solution. When she has it, she finds it curious how she actually wants to tell Micah. Her voice is still wary though, and she continues to be frightened that she is going to give away too much information about herself and the way she thinks. Then again, the mind-reader must already know that. I.. I want to discover a state of mind where I am comfortable with myself. I think that maybe the elements will help me with that, and that once I finally find peace within myself I can start with creating peace between myself and others.
No matter where she was, Lifehouse was always ready to run. There had not been a single conversation in any of these lands so far where she allowed herself to completely relax where her senses were divided between whomever she happened to be talking to, and keeping a lookout for danger. Even know, walking beside Micah theres a protective distance between herself and her teacher. More than two companions might regularly have, but less than she once would have suggested upon.
Then again, a month ago would she even have followed him around?
She wonders whether that was a good answer, and whether she would be a good student.
