Taron jolted awake and sat bolt upright. It was freezing; he noticed he'd pushed the covers of himself whilst sleeping. Of course it didnt help that the pup had stolen half of the quilt...the pup! No sooner did Taron turn, than he heard a little high pitched yelping sound. He must have woken the wolf up.
It was staring at him through the darkness, its big eyes glowing. That was creepy, but he got over it. 'Come here' Taron reached for it, but the pup had more energy now, and growled at him. Taron gritted his teeth and grabbed it, holding it the way Clora had. 'Behave!'
Taron was tired, but normally didnt wake up in the middle of the night, especially when he was cold. It was odd, and he wanted to know what had caused his abrubt awakening. Taking the pup in his arms, Taron opened his room door, and peered outside, only to find a certain someone moving strangely down the hall and crying out! Clora. Taron made an Ugh...not again sound, starting to get really grumpy.

"Good morning!" said Clora, giggling "Isn't this fun?! Puppy!" Clora turned her attention to the pup, who wiggled at the sight of her. She knelt down and fussed him "Hello lil' nasty!"
After five minutes, Clora looked up, Taron didn't seem happy... "Oooh... You're not happy are you...? I'm sorry!" Clora bounced up and hugged him, something she does with everyone and anyone.
Clora was still shaking in excitment with the whole lets-do-cartwheels-and-forward-rolls-in-the-hall idea. "I'll go do something in my room and I'll promise to be quiet! Good nigh-- I mean, morning!" and with that Clora bounced back in her room.

Taron stiffened as Clora wrapped him in a quick embrace. O-kay....That was certainly unexpected, but not completely horrific. Hugs were nice...when he wasnt feeling so tired and grumpy.
'Thats okay...' he mumbled, watching her dissapear again. He sighed in despair and shook his head. Then he realised the pup was still with him; sitting in the middle of the hall and looking mischevious. He picked it up again.
'Clora?' He knocked on the door. 'You want this pup?' Taron asked, looking down at the wolf. Not that he didnt want it, but Taron really needed the sleep, more than Clora seemed to anyway. Maybe she'd be able to quietly entertain herself with the pup and finally leave him to rest.

Clora opened the door. "Okay then! Come on pup! Let's do something fun!" she took the pup from Taron and closed her door. An odd high pitched noise could be heard, it was hard to tell if it was the pup or just Clora.
An hour later what could only be called 'messing up rooms', Clora and the pup began to play another game. Although it was a wolf, the pup managed to grasp the rules of 'tig' rather quickly, and Clora's small room just wasn't large enough. The halls, on the other hand, were larger and longer. Clora plonked the pup in the hall just outside her room, "Okay, we're gonna play the same game, only when you're it don't bite me so hard!" she patted the pup, "Ready... GO GO GO!" Clora and the pup bolted down the halls.

Taron felt like tearing his hair out. He groaned loudly and just sank to the floor in his room, listening to the increasingly anoying sounds from the hall. After a while he began banging his head on the wall, maybe he'd get lucky and knock himself out for a few hours. That would be the only way to get the sleep now.
Taking a deep breath, though it only made him madder, Taron opened the door and saw the pup speeding down the hall. Clora was having the time of her life, a complete contrast to how he felt; practically dead. Still, he sat down with her silently. Maybe watching the game would distract him from listening to it. It might even help relax him.
'What you playing?'

"Huh?" Clora tripped up in shock, smacking her head against the wall. Clora groaned and slumped against the wall, looking dazed, "We're... Playing tig. Ah! Sorry! We were loud weren't we! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to! I just go really happy and..." Clora shook off her dizziness and flapped her hands about, gesturing her happiness.
The pup leaped on Taron, hoping that he would join in on their fun and games. Clora had burst out laughing, finding rather funny she could of given herself brain damage (to be honest I think she already has it).

Taron got up to help Clora, but she started waving her hands around in an odd manor and he decided she must be unhurt. He wanted to bite back and say that sorry wasnt gonna pay for the room he wasnt even using, but her over-happy attitude just sort of stopped him. It was impossible to stay angry, and if she was this extreme with being happy, he didnt want to get angry and then see how extreme she could be whilst upset. He supposed a laughing Clora was slightly better than a crying Clora.
Sitting down beside her, Taron was about to speak when the pup pounced on him. 'Hey!' He pulled it up in his hands; it was yipping and pawing excitedly like a normal puppy. Taron let out a faint moan, having a feeling he was going to be pulled into something, since the others wouldnt leave him alone. He forced a smile at Clora and the pup, though he felt completely different inside.
'What do you want?' he asked the pup, sighing.

"He wants you to play!" laughed Clora, poking the pup's nose, "Wow! the sun's rising!" Clora had craned her neck to look at the deep orange sky in the window, "I'm gonna take the pup back to the forest soon. Either that or I'll go exploring..."
Clora thought for a moment, scratching the pup's fuzzy head. "Meh... I guess taking the pup back will be best..." Clora went into her room, and didn't come out for a few minutes.

Taron blinked, absently stroking the pup when Clora dissapeared. He couldnt understand how someone could be so...happy! So oblivious to other people, and yet so interactive. Great. The sun was rising. There goes the last of Taron's sleep-time. He took a deep breath. Better get ready to face the day half-asleep.
Giving her the pup had been a bad idea. All the while Taron had been sleeping next to it, the little wolf hadnt made a sound. While Clora was around, getting rid of the puppy was the best idea. Once it was out of the way, maybe he could teach her how to be quiet. Taron laid his head back on the wall, dozing.

Clora pulled on her bracers and jerkin, making sure that the long, light swords wouldn't fall off her belt. Taron was trying to snooze against the wall, but Clora wouldn't allow it.
"Wake up!" she pushed him on the floor. "You shouldn't fall asleep in the halls!" she said, grinning. "C'mon! You might as well come with me if all you're gonna do is sleep! C'mon pup!"
Clora grabbed both Taron and the pup and dragged them outside. The innkeeper watched, amused. He only saw Taron and Clora. The village was different in the day, no longer eerie and silent. Children were running round, playing. Some adults were in the many fields, picking the leaves off of plants. The village was actually quite small, despite the fact it took Taron and Clora a while to gallop through it, looking for an inn. One thing was certain now, it was very, very dusty.

'Wah!' Taron hissed out of instinct when he was suddenly pulled from his dreams and shoved onto his side. Lazily pulling himself up, he rubbed his eyes. yeah...he shouldnt fall asleep in the halls, it was perfectly alright for Clora to, though...He groaned.
He felt out of touch with his body as she dragged him outside. The sun was rising fast, and the light and warmth on his face really woke Taron up. He did nothing to sheild his eyes, and instead just closed them, taking advantage of this moment.
Eyes still shut, he spoke to Clora. 'Which way?'

"Uhhh..." Clora mumbled increasing numbers, was she doing math!? "Ummm aahhh... Thattaway!" Clora pointed up a path, unaware that Taron's eyes were closed. "Heeey! Wake up, or children will pull down your trousers!" Clora joked. The children here were rather funny, playing games that involved jumping over each other.
Clora sighed and summoned her +Anima, kicking her left back leg slightly to warm up. Taron's eyes were still closed. "Pup, wait there..." Clora placed the fuzzy pup on the frosty ground, turning her attention back to Taron. Clora looked at him... A saddle would be no use if he's so sleepy... A belt will do. She swung him on her horse back and strapped him on with a belt. "Wake up before I gallop!!! If you slip out of the belt it'll be your fault!!"

'Guh!' Taron was getting used to being pulled around, but that didnt make it any less unpleasant. 'What now??' He stared ahead...only to find that he was staring at her horse flank. When had that happened? He pulled himself up, but realised he couldnt get off. She;d strapped him down.
'Clora....atleast tell me before you tie me to things' He laid against her. Despite the fact that being this close to her was awkward (even though she was a horse-girl), she was really warm, and it was nippy outside. Once again, instinct was telling him to go with the heat, it was good, so he stayed pressed to her.
'What about the pup...?' he half-asked half-mumbled to himself. Through hazy eyes he noticed that people were staring, but the pup was sat quite happily on the ground, not frighened at all.

"The pup can run, can't you honey?" Clora laughed, beginning to walk. The pup could easily walk beside her. When Clora was sure Taron wouldn't fall off and break his neck, she broke into a quick canter, just slow enough not to be a gallop. The pup panted, scrambling along side of her. For Taron, the canter was rather uncomfortable, especially since he was strapped on with a belt.
Then Clora broke into a gallop. Anyone could hear her hooves thundering over the long grass. It didn't help that Clora chosen a 'secret' path, over many fields and a river. The wolf pup forced himself to run as fast as he could, jumping when Clora did (poor Taron), slipping when Clora did (once again poor Taron) even moving his little legs at the same time as hers. Clora seemed to like cross-country, if she saw a log she'd run towards it and jump over it. The slipping didn't really hurt anyone, though it could of hurt Taron's confidence in horse riding...

((XD poor taron, ahah))
Taron's eyes widened in fear as she started a gallop. The belt was rubbing painfully against his side, and was a little too tight. Then again, he wouldnt risk having it loosened and then falling off, especially with her jumping every other step. The pup was getting a right little workout trying to keep up, and it looked to Taron as though the thing was struggling. Still, it hadnt fallen behind yet.
After a while he felt sick, and for once he was glad he hadnt eaten breakfast. Still....that dinner from last night might still come up if Clora didnt take it easy soon.
'H-how much farther?' he yelled over the clipidyclop of hooves.
