Leyla nodded when she saw how high Vollo had jumped the obstacle. She ready Whisper and started running gaining much momentum as she head to the the obstacle. When Whisper got near it she jumped. Barely above the obstacle Whisper made it across. She landed not as gracefully as her other jumps. Whisper continued to run forward a bit to catch her balance then turned and Leyla faced Peregrine. "Your turn to choose." she said to him.

Peregrine nodded and looked around, then he grinned. He pointed to a lake with two logs on either side of it, one right before the horse jumped into the water, and the other right before the horse was to jump out of the water.
"You game?" He asked.

Leyla grinned looking at the lake. She looked at him and said "Of course." you can tell by her voice she was anxious to jump the lake.

Peregrine waited for her to start her jump.

Leyla took a deep breath. She then backed Whisper up so she had a better running advantage. She then cantered off towards the lake. She jumped Whisper over the log then splashed into the lake. She never jumped out of a lake before but there is a first time for everything. She then continued to canter Whisper through the waters finally Whisper took a leap and jumped over the final log. She walked up to the land and started shaking the water off slightly.

As soon as Leyla amd Whisper had ju,ped the two obstacles and the water, Peregrine gathered up his reins and put Vollo into a trot. The trot became a fast canter as Vollo sped towards the first log. He sailed over it and landed in the water. He crashed through it, soaking Peregrine up to his waist in the process before he leaped over the second log and cantered up the hill. He pounded Vollo's neck as the Stallion calm to a walk once more. He was breathing hard.
"Well done, Leyla." Peregrine said, "Have you quenched your desire for jumping, or do you wih to continue?"

Leyla shrugged. "I do love jumping but I think Whisper needs a break." she said with a smile petting her horses mane softly.

"Indeed." Peregrine agreed as the white-ish sweat that was mingled in Vollo's coat, poured down his reins as well.

Leyla looked down at Vollo "Vollo looks tired also." she said to him.

The horse tossed his head as if to say, I am not! But his weariness showed.
"How is Whisper?" Peregrine inquired.

She laughed slightly when the horse tossed his head back. She looked at Whisper "She is tired." she said. Whisper was getting tired. Whisper opened her mouth and yawned. Leyla smiled looking at her horse.

"I think I shall walk Vollo back in order to cool him out, would you care to join me?"

Leyla nodded "Sure." she said to him.

Peregrine let Vollo walk on a long rein, but made him stretch his legs out with purpose. He attempted to think of something to say, but failed. So he came up with a more "canned" topic. One that most knights asked each other when they were trying to make conversation with each other and failing, like he was now.
"So, what's your favorite weapon?"

She had Whisper long rein in her hand and walked beside her next to Peregrine. "I like to use my hands" she said to him. She looked forward and then asked him "What about you? What's your favorite weapon?"
