Two wagon wheels carved twinned ribbons of darkness in fresh fallen snow, tracing a winding trail off until the paired tracks became lost in one another amidst the distant darkness. The night's air and falling snow were punctuated by the gentle but emphatic [i]Clop! Clop! Clop![/i] and jingle of halter and harness.

The reins of the majestic white-maned stallion hung loosely from the gloved hands of his driver, a figure covered head to toe in a hooded cape of blue fleece. Sat astride the driver's seat of a two-wheeled wagon - its sides adorned with bright coloured sun and flower motifs - it rolled effortlessly past the entrance of the inn.

The driver's face was obscured but the slow craning of the blue hood - silhouetted from the inn's entrance against the distant tower - was clearly fixed upon the scene by the Inn's entrance. Unseen eyes tracked the collapsed form the goliath being kicked by the woman looming over him. 
The hooded figure gave an ever-so-slight tug of their wrist on the reins, their voice - her voice - ringing softly through falling snowflakes like whispering bells. [color=fff79a]"[i]Addring. Ava.[/i]"[/color]

The stallion drew abruptly to a halt, shaking his head while giving Edwina and Latrom aggressive horse side-eye. His driver unfolded from her seat, standing in deliberative stillness before descending to the snow. Her face remained obscured by her hood and the waning light, but was clearly observing the pair as she walked with a patiently measured gait alongside her horse, running her hand along his flank before leaning in and whispering something in the animal's ear that seems to settle the creature further into stillness.
