Joshua stopped and turned his head towards Imgor, and walked over while rolling his eyes. Crouching down to help him get back up, Joshua commented [color=8882be]"You should probably look where you're going, or perhaps you trained a bit too hard?"[/color]. He gave a short lesson; [color=8882be]"Actually, this is a good time to remind you three about something. Training your magical capabilities is all well and good, but much like physical exercise, you can't overdo it or you'll break something. And the... magical.. essence...? doesn't heal so easily, if at all, if you really screw up."[/color]

Joshua coughed unexpectedly, before continuing. [color=8882be]"Of course, you still should exercise what you do know of the arts every so often, but you should really be careful. I'm sure you'll be fine though, Imgor."[/color]. Joshua then breathed for a second and resumed the quiet travelling. He seemed to enjoy it, going on a long trip in general. The quartet eventually saw a stable on the road, and Joshua noted that there didn't seem to be an owner or anything in the area.

[color=8882be]"How much do you reckon four permanent horses would cost? 800 coins? That seems fair to me."[/color]. Joshua got out six 'one hundreds' in addition to four 'fifties' and left them in a small bag on one of the stables' doors alongside a note, before jumping over one of the gates. [color=8882be]...What are you all giving me that face for? It isn't illegal for Hunters to do things like this if we leave a fair amount of money. Didn't I tell you this already?"[/color]

Well, that's of ambiguous moral fortitude. No sense in going against their mentor's wishes, though. [color=8882be]"Don't squabble on getting which horse. Let's ride!"[/color]

The relatively large stable had nine other horses under its' wooden roof, and all seemed well-bred and fed enough. The three students must pick a horse for the foreseeable future.
