 _setting_desc Held erect by large bronze poles planted firmly in the ground, the purple and gold Horse tent offers a canvas over a number of stalls, each with it's own accommodations including fresh hay and a trough that is refilled daily. The tent's entrance is kept open during the day to allow sunlight to shine into the tent illuminating those inside, while the other end of the tent has a door leading directly into the guest castle.

 _self_say Need a ride, squire? 
 _partner_say I hope that you can help. I will need a ride, to runaway. I was taken from my family at 8 and I yearn to find them and to be with them again. 
 _self_say You'll find no better means of transportation than myself! How far away is your family? 
 _partner_say Very far... probably 3 or more days ride. I will get you some rest under the horse tent and make sure you have plenty of hay and water so that we can make the ride. 
 _self_say Sounds like a plan! We should probably head out under the cover of darkness. Your masters may not want you gone. 
 _partner_say It is true, they will keep me from going if they find out. I am so lonely for my family and I am very unhappy that it has been 8 years since i have seen them. 
 _partner_emote cry 
 _self_say Is your family able to defend itself? It's possible that your masters will come looking for you. 
 _partner_say My family was not able to defend themselves when they took me away from them at the age of 8 years old. I don't know how I'm going to be able to leave without being taken back. Maybe we can fake my death? I dont know. 
 _self_say Not a bad idea. All we need is a body that looks like yours. I can trample the face so it can't be recognized. Got anybody in mind? 
 _partner_say We can probably go to the grave yard and find a grave that is just dug and wait for them to bury a body. We can go there tonight to see if there is anyone being buried 
 _self_say Sounds good. Do you see a saddle around here? You're pretty bony, and I don't need your sharp butt jabbing me in the back the whole way. 
 _partner_say There are plenty in the horse stall. That won't be a problem. 
 _self_emote yawn 
 _self_say Good. Let's take a nap, so that we're well rested for tonight.
