Beast seemed to move like liquid night across the landscape, his hooves pounding the dirt relentless and kicking up grass blades with the wanton nature of a large beast. It was a different ride to his sweet mare, who seemed to barely touch the grass or dirt at all and whose ride was as smooth as silk. Beast was a whole other matter, he felt every hoof fall, every lump in the ground every jump of those powerful legs that kept the landscape a blur. It was intense in a whole different way to the freeing sensation that riding his filly was. When eventually they began to come upon the ruins he attempted to slow the beast down, his first command ignored and the beast raced yo against the stones until at a second firmer command the animal slowed and finally halted. It stamped impatiently and angrily a moment before it settled to the petting of it's mane and the soft cooing words in it's flickering ears. 

It was as the fae approached the beast began to rear and stomp his hooves once again and Alessandro took a further moment to try and quell the beast, uncertain that he could from atop its saddle he slipped freely off of the horse and narrowly missed a swing of the powerful creatures head. With reigns in hand he stilled the horses head and with his weight against the horses shoulder he attempted to calm the animal again. Unhappy and agitated but still the prince tied his horse to a slender stone arch that seemed fit to hold it and allowed him to snuffle at the fresh grass and moss beneath his hooves. "This place." He announced to the fae, as if not yet aware of his somewhat 'threatening' behaviour. "Houses all the great families, right back to the man who laid the first stone of our castle. Very few people come here anymore, which is a little sad but it does mean I have a space to be free and by myself for a while. What do you think?" It was then he turned and then he saw the hand on the hilt of the blade, the look in the fae's eyes. "You will be on edge a lot of you suspect everyone of attempting to kill me, even my horse."
