Grumbling Kel began to walk to the stable so that she could spend some time with her temperamental horse. "Oh Peachblossom today has been very strange. Joren and I spoke civilly. Another strange thing is that he did not want me to leave."

'I don't want you to leave either,' suddenly sounded in Kel's head.

"Uh Peachblossom, was that you?" Peachblossom raised and lowered his head in a positive way. "I don't want to leave you either Peachblossom, but I am afraid that I cannot stay here for page training. Maybe I could try to become one of the Queen's Riders."

'You are better suited for the life of a night than that of a Queen's Rider.' Peachblossom intoned.

Stephen who had heard the entire conversation came over and began to speak. "So Lady Page Peachblossom finally spoke to you. As you can tell he is not a regular horse but some kind of immortal he still won't tell me. That is why he likes biting Page Nealen so much.

"That certainly explains some things like the fact that he likes to stare at women a little to much for a horse. Why do you think I am better suited for knighthood than being a Queen's Rider?" Kel asked Peachblossom.

'Who would be there to stop the hazing from going to far? No one, because no one cared about it before you. The servants would miss you because unlike other nobles you treat them as equals. What about the sparrows you feed? They have come to care for you because you feed them and allow them into your room during the cold times. What of the other pages you have befriended over the year? What would they think if you after you try so hard to be aloud to stay only to leave when you are?'

With that said Peachblossom turned away from Kel to finish eating his oats leaving Kel to her thoughts. Stephen had left before Peachblossom's mini-speech.
