"There now, there's a good lass." The mare wickered softly as Glaran moved around her in the darkness, running his hand along her flank. He chuckled softly as he felt the animal's wet nose in his neck, pushing insistently. "Aye, Lady, soon. We'll be out of here soon." He fished some oats from the saddlebad tied to the horse's back, feeding them to the mare as he checked on the other horse. Another mare, she had been his companion for a long time. "Not much longer," he whispered in her ear encouragingly, resting his head against her coarse hair for a brief moment, inhaling her scent.<br/><br/>He had left the horses in the back of a smaller cave branching from the cavern tunnel. He quickly untied the bedrolls from the saddles, lifting the saddlebag from Lady. "Soon," he whispered again before turning away from the horses.
