you're waiting for a train...

There are times when being caught between a rock and a hard place would be a better choice than the situation around them. And, as the two girls sidled up to him, Grai realized that this was one of those time. The chestnut had been roused from breakfast after morning patrols by Alethi’s sly touch and then Naomi’s pleading glare.

He gulped. Panicking a little as he looked from the red dun to the smoky black filly.

There was no way out today.

He finished his mouthful.

“I didn’t did I?” He half questions. “Well, uh… I had…” Naomi’s eyes bored into his soul and he would have taken half a step back if he didn’t think Alethi would bite him for it. He sighed.

“I guess I have a clear morning,” He said, knowing a fruitless battle when he saw it. “What do you ladies want to do?” He felt like he was issuing a death sentence. Fillies were more dangerous than cobras it seemed.

a train that will take you far away
