The bull snorted and butted his head against Tailha's chest, making her stumble back as she was not prepared for the bit of force he had put behind it.<br/><br/>â€œHey! Watch it! Or I swear...â€ she grumbled at the bull, though it was more of a mumble as she spoke the words about the freshly packed and lit pipe that was between her lips. Last night she was beyond pleased to discover that not only did the poor excuse of an inn have weed from her home but they even had some of the finer stuff as well. What made it even better was the fact that she could get it all for free, making her even happier that she had decided to go on this job. Free weed, gold in her pocket and a chance to earn more gold at the end. Yes, it was a good business decision on her end.<br/><br/>Another impact to her chest had her stepping away from the bull to plant her fists on her hips, glaring angrily at the bull as she puffed on her pipe. There the two stared at one another, the bull snorting, she puffing on her pipe. Neither of them seemed willing to back down in whatever dispute that they were having with one another.<br/><br/>Finally it was Tailha that relented, if only so that they could finish getting ready to go and meet up with the others and the caravan they were to be guarding. â€œFine. You winâ€ she said after she took the pipe from her mouth, her words being said in an exhale of smoke. â€œIt was wrong of me to leave you out here all alone all night. I should have come out to check on you and I should have came out here and laid with you until you fell asleep, since I know that you get scared of new places. So...I'm sorryâ€ Tailha said with as much sincerity as she could muster.<br/><br/>The bull seemed to regard her for a moment before snorting a final time, then lowered his head and waited for her to finish with his harness and tackle. Shaking her head with a smirk Tailha placed the pipe back into her mouth and went back to work, â€œHonestly sometimes I question who is the one in charge hereâ€ she said with humor and affection in her tone, yet again it was muffled/altered a bit from the pipe in her mouth. Still the bull seemed to know exactly what she said and meant, as he nuzzled her  chest lightly though made it a point to remain still for her so she could continue her work. When she was finally finished she pulled herself up into the saddle and guided BC toward where they were to be meeting the caravan.<br/><br/>â€œI think I need to get you a girlfriend. You know a fine female cow for you to settle down with, someone to cuddle with you at night so that I don't have toâ€ Tailha remarked thoughtfully, the end of the pipe between her teeth as she nibbled the end. BC tossed his head, giving it a shake as he snorted, seeming in displeasure at her words. â€œWhat? You rather just hang around me your whole life?â€ Tailha asked, leaning to the side a bit in the saddle so that she could look at him in the â€œeyeâ€ a bit. At these words the bull tossed his head again though gave no shake, as if to nod. â€œHmmâ€ is all Tailha said as she placed the pipe back in her mouth and took a slow deep pull, enjoying the sensation and taste as the smoke rolled across her tongue before before expelled through her nostrils.<br/><br/>The trip to the caravan was a short and uneventful one, with less people awed by the sight of the woman atop the large bull. There were a few gawkers, mainly children, who stopped to watch as she went by. To which she would give them a friendly smile and wink as she passed them, who knows perhaps she would inspire some of them to be adventures, probably much to the dismay of their parents.<br/><br/>Arriving at the caravan she did not even bother to dismount as she shook hands with each of the drivers of the caravan, starting from the rear and ending at the front. Once there she discussed the route with the lead driver some, thinking to herself if they could possibly shave off some time if they went off road. Though from how the wagons were riding she could tell, from her life of loading and unloading wagons, that they were weighted down. So they were likely to have to stick to the main road, though that did not mean they could not push themselves a bit. While she spent most of her life around bulls she was not ignorant to the limits and capacities of horses, so she knew that they could probably push the horses a bit to get the extra time and distance they needed to shorten the trip. Especially since they would be traveling back without the cargo which would make everything lighter and faster.<br/><br/>The others began to arrive and Tailha was feeling rather optimistic with the whole trip. The midget halfling was probably going to be more of a pain then help but then again their kind usually were just pains in everyone's ass. Not much else they could reach to annoy people anyway. Still with enough weed to last the trip and several days after it was not going to be too hard to tolerate the little bugger, unless of course she made a fuss about anything. Maybe she could convince the big fellow to punt her into a wall, or into a hole? Shrugging herself mentally she sat easily in the saddle conversing with the drivers waiting till everyone was ready to go.<br/><br/>That was until....<br/><br/>BC pawed at the ground and drew her attention to a figure who was making his way toward them. A rather peculiar looking fellow to be sure was walking toward them. â€œWell that is not something that one sees everydayâ€ she said as she slowly took the pipe from her mouth. When the â€œmanâ€ drew closer she spoke up, â€œLooking for something? Gonna have to warn you that this place is not really too kind to well half of what you seem to be...â€ she said trying to not be rude though then again she was not sure exactly what to say to someone who was, well what he was. The nature lover in her wanted to know more about him, given whatever he was it was not something that was common and it was always good to learn more about something new and what she could guess was also rather dangerous. Perhaps she could convince him to come along with them on the trip? That would give them some time to chat and get to know one another.
