It was a nice day.
Theo tied his hair back into a high pony-tail, the only real difference between his twin and himself, that and Theo had a sword wound on his side from being stabbed once. Just once though, and it was faded now, so you'd have to look very closely to even see it against his tanned skin. Theodore was a true bred Adelan. Dark hair, dark skin, bright eyes. Of course, the slight serendipity influenced from his mothers side made his hair and skin not as dark as average, but, he looked Adelan.
Musing about his heritage, here on rather grim business, Theodore blinked and stared as a white streak rushed past him.
"Well that's odd."
He didn't hear screaming, and he wasn't that unused to rambunctious ladies from his home. Serendipity though. She might have been too polite to scream. Running a hand over Apara's neck, Apara being Theo's palomino gelding, he gave the horse a nudge and took off after the woman with the white horse.
White horse.
Theo chuckled softly, white horses get dirty too fast. Almost caught up, he saw the poor woman fall off her horse and the thing run off into the forest. Then he spotted the snake. Apara, just stood there, looking down doefully at the strange woman while Theodore jumped off of it and stared. " Quite the horse you have, ma'am." It was a veiled insult, a horse that spooked wasn't much of a good horse at all. At least Theo thought so, but his horse knowledge was as dim as talc. He knew that nudges moved it and being nice to it helped.
Quietly, Theodore went in behind the snake and snatched it by the neck before lopping its head off and throwing it off to the side, the tops of his gloves bloody, so he removed them soon after, also tosssing those to the side. "Ah..." Theodore paused and looked down at himself, dressed in his 'gentleman' clothes, which consisted of black breeches, a white tunic and a fancy coat and boots, hair up and his lips pursed.
"I'm Theodore Wynn of Adela. I'm ... Well. Visiting I suppose." He kneeled down beside her and Apara snorted into his hair, picking at Theodores ponytail with his lips. " Do you have a name or are we going to call you Tumblelina?" His eyebrows drew upwards and one hand waved back and forth behind his head to shoo away Apara. " Oh, Do you want me to help you look for your horse or take you home?" Before she could protest, Theodore had a hand on her back and was gently lifting her upright.
