[Gregor leads Alys out into the yard outside and swings astride with ease.] Ready?

[complicatedliar]

[Loki mounts up and nods.] Please, lead the way.

[vor]

[The best way to avoid the feeling of the enclosure being a prison is to get around it a bit. Gregor leads Loki over the grasslands to the east. The more they ride, the more Gregor appears to relax and forget himself.]

[complicatedliar]

[Loki relaxes in much the same way, riding easily along. He's content to do so in silence as well, just enjoying the feeling of being on a horse again.]

[vor]

[Gregor is more than happy to remain in companionable silence for the trip. When they encounter a stream from the mountains, though, he stops and dismounts to let Alys drink.]

[complicatedliar]

[Loki slides from Kol's back, leading him to drink next to Alys.

The view is nice enough; almost nice enough to forget that they're still within a prison.]

[voice] September 23rd, morning

[fleurdesel]

Good morning Gregor.

[vor]

[He doesn't get this until afternoon, when he opens his journal. At that point, he stifles a groan. He is clearly hung over.]

What do you want, Adele?

[fleurdesel]

Just checking in. [She keeps her voice low and even as to not bother him overmuch.] How is your head?

[vor]

I took a B-vitamin complex. It's helping, believe it or not.

[fleurdesel]

And your eye? Has the swelling gone down at all?

[vor]

No. Don't tell me you're actually calling as my physician.

[fleurdesel]

A friend cannot be concerned for your well being?

[A beat.]

I am sorry for punching you on your birthday.

[vor]

But any other day, it would have been within your professional rights?

[fleurdesel]

Not at all, it is simply worse of me to have done so on your birthday.

[vor]

Were you sober?

[fleurdesel]

Not as sober as I should have been, but not as intoxicated as you were. It's no excuse.

[vor]

No. [But it's easier to excuse the actions of the judgment-impaired, usually.] It was...an experience.

[fleurdesel]

It was foolish and unwarranted.

[He made a mistake many young men his age make. And he's allowed that now and again, really.]

That's a kind way to put it.

[vor]

Well, it was a first. Even my combat instructors were careful not to actually hit me.

[fleurdesel]

How is it that you actually retained anything of combat training, then?

[vor]

Pulled at the last second. Listen, do you do this often to your patient when it's personal?

[fleurdesel]

Punch them, or check in with them? To the former: no. This is a first. To the latter- yes.

[vor]

Is it going to be a habit? The punching.

[fleurdesel]

No. It won't happen again.
