The horse screamed loudly and strained against Joan, but was forced to go back onto all fours before turnnig in infuringatingly small circles. Snorting, and with sides heaving, the stallion slowed, before reluctantly stopping.

Dravius coughed and nodded, a hoof-shaped bruise welling on his chest. "I've had worse. Like a whipping for example." He gave a weak smile and stood, cracking his neck and back. "Okay, I'd say we don't need to work on your equestrian skills." He added, laughing.

((-Shies away-))

Dravius gave a small laugh and yawned, looking a bit stunned as Joan pulled a small stone from the tall black horse's hoof. The horse itself relaxed and whuffled air through the girl's hair. It whinnied slightly and nudged her hand, sniffing her hair and burring. Dravius laughed and said, "Well, Iit might have been better if I had checked the hooves before we started, huh?"

((Haha. I are Todeo! X) ))

Joan shrugged and bounced the rock on her palm, pushing the horses nose away. "We all make mistakes. And you," To the horse, "Much as I love horses, I dont know how Id feel about horse snot and spit as a way to spike my hair." She laughed.

((-Sobs-))

Dravius laughed and said, "Let's try this again, without a horse." He took a deep breath and set his feet far apart and bent his knees, and tossed a lance at her. "Try and knock me over." He stated, fixing his eyes on Joan, his hands on his sides.

((AH!! Dun cry!! D:))

Jaon hesitated. "With the lance? Or, like, football tackle?" She wondered how she would even get enough speed with this... "An' you aint wearin no armor!"

((Oh yeah. Awesome post. XD))

((Ahh! -Spazzes- I could have sworn I posted on this!))

"Don't matter, Joan." Dravius said matter of factly. "Just knock me over." He smiled mischeviously and cocked his head, teasing her. "What, think you can't do it?" He laughed and sank back into the deephorse stance. "Come on!"

((Haha Compooper Spasm FTW. :D))

((-Uses CPR-))

Dravius smiled and did a backbend, yeilding to Joan's pull. He kicked Joan's uncovered hand and pulled away swiftly, grabbing the chain skirt and pulling swiftly, throwing her balance for a loop. "Nioce try, though. " He laughed, standing back off as Joan wobbled.

Dravius gave asmall laugh and walked the horse over to a tree, tying a quick and secure knot. "Alright." He clapped his hands, and dropped into a seat where his legs were perpendicular to each other. "Tyr this one!" He bent down, with his forehead on the gr*censored*. "If it's too easy, you can try this." After a moment he added, "After al, we only have 24 hours to whip into shape."

((FYI, This is SUPER hards for someone who hasn't done yoga for a while.))

Joan shrugged and walkedover to the horse and stood behind him as she took off the armour. "I aint even gunna try to stretch wearin this...I can hardly walk." She returned to Dravious wearing her nowdirty white shirt and a pair of boxers she had lifted from her faster father while doing the laundry one day and sat down, extending her legs to match his position. She watched his head touch the gr*censored* and shook her head slightly before doing so herself. Her words were muffled as she said "Its a little hard to do, but almost expected; the more muscle you have, the less flexibility you have," 

((Sorreh, Tode. My mother wanted me to rake the twelve million pine needles..))

Dravius laughed slightly, and uncurled his legs and responded to Joan, " You only need to be stron in your legs and your arms, for holding the lance, and keeping your *Bleep* on the horse. The horse does allt he work, really." Dravius smiled and added, "I'm impressed, really. And what are you wearing? You can't waltz into the winner's cirlce with long hair, no breast band, and waering shorts." He gestured at Joan's hair in skeptisism. "Stay here, I'm getting a knife." He said, getting upo and trotting into the little hut adjecent to where they sat, re-emerging with a silver dagger.

((Aww. I want pine needles! Im sick of Junipers! D:))

"I am to wearing a breast band!" Joan circled her arms around her front and drew her legs up, hiding her face in her knees. She looked up as Dravius came back and her look turned to horror as her arms went from chest to grabbing her hair together as if to protect it. "Nu-uh!! No way on holy heck'm I gunna let you cut my hair.!" She stood up and backed away, crouched over, still covering her head with her hands.
