They were on their way to Lorien, Jecht in the lead, although Thengise and Collette were close by. Even though Jecht had spent considerable time in Mirkwood, Lorien held a hidden chapter of his past. It held one of the few happy chapters in Jecht's life and he was glad to be returning there. The fields was covered with long blades of glittering grass and Jecht spurred his horse to a full gallop and he saw that Thengise and Collette were keeping the pace. He looked over his shoulder at them. Thengise's hair was caught in the wind and shown in the sunlight. Collette was smiling behind her. It wasn't her usual smile of mischief but that of Happiness. Jecht smiled back at them and shouted back.
Jecht-Come on you two, catch me if you can!
He laughted his deep laugh and rode faster. They tore through the plains at great speed. Then to Thengise's horror and Collette interest, Jecht had jumped from the galloping horse's back and into the long grass. The horse continued a bit and then stopped, slowly walking back towards where Jecht had jumped off. Thengise rushed over but Collette got there first and tackled Jecht. Jecht stood up and was still laughing.
Thengise-Well, you have an awful sense of humor
Collette-I like it!
Jecht-I think we've travelled enough for one day, we're in no rush. Lets rest here. The sun will set soon and then we can fix a bit of dinner.
OoC-looks like someone needs a hug
