You need protection, Tino?

[continuousgroaning]

I'd be glad for it

and the company

[extremeteenbible]

O.M.W.

[continuousgroaning]

see you in a bit

and thanks

[continuousgroaning]

I had a horse back in my world
I miss her

Text

[continuousgroaning]

what was her name? what did she look like?

I've wanted nothing more than to have a horse of my own ever since I was a baby. i finally got one here, i won him as a prize at a swear-in

he's the most precious thing in the world to me

She was a lovely black horse, and very intelligent.

[Finn sends an image of a sketch he drew from memory of her. By all accounts, she looks like a regular black horse. He just left out the red eyes and Dark Brotherhood saddle blanket on this particular drawing.]

It used to be a very bad crime to steal a horse. Men would be executed for it.

[continuousgroaning]

hmmm, i wouldn't want to execute someone over it

but i still think it should be a bad crime to steal horses!! they never did anything to anyone

text;

[uzumaniac]

It was a serious crime.

Were horses very important in your world before this? I have not seen many of them here since arriving.

[ See icon for the face Pidge sends Tina. Because what? ]

[continuousgroaning]

the stable where i board my horse assigned me to guard them

but now that I think about it they may have just wanted me to stay out of the way

[pidgewidgeon]

Yeah, okay. That makes more sense.

And you're 15 right? Letting kids fight isn't something most adults want to do.

[ Voltron's an exception. They don't really have a choice. ]

Okay, but before you enact equestrian justice, come see me.

I have some extra bracelets that double as smoke bombs.
While I hope you won't have to use them, I also don't doubt they may put you in such a position.

[continuousgroaning]

that would be great!

i mean the more I think about it the more I feel like the stable staff put me here to keep me out of trouble

but I'll take anything I can get

[eloquentness]

I feel you.
If times were more peaceful, I wouldn't think about it but... I'd feel safer if you had them.

I'll show you how to use them too.
Just in case.

[hellosirs]

Tina, please don't get into any fights with potential horse thieves!!

[continuousgroaning]

but I need to practice my magic anyway!!!

seriously though, merle's on his way over so I'll be fine :)

[hellosirs]

Oh, good! I'm very glad to hear that. He and Della Reese won't let any troublemakers get near the stables.

And even if they did get in, I bet your horse would kick them.

Do you have a way of protecting yourself?

[continuousgroaning]

i have my magic and if worse comes to worse i can become intangible and run away

but I have a friend coming to sit with me who's much better at magic than I am so that makes me feel better

and we're pretty far away from the floods and stuff too

[am_i_a_monster]

That's good. Friends you trust are an important step. And magic's cool.

Think about weapons for next time too.
