"It's been a while," she said as she walked into the stables, dressed in her school Equestrian Club outfit and grinning at a certain horse. It was auburn with cream-colored spots, and a few black blotches near the muzzle and on the ears. He made a soft noise as Guinevere approached and immediately nosed at her hand. "I missed you too, Excalibur!"

She planned on riding, but not before grooming and feeding her beast. She combed his coat, continuing to coo and talk to him about what she did for spring break, or about how her classmates were bubble-headed idiots. For the moment, Gwen was the only lady in the stable, and she felt at ease. Sometimes, it was much easier to just talk to animals. Gwen would swear up and down that they talked back to her, and often people could find her happily chatting with a cat or bird, and sometimes she would talk to something that wasn't even there at all!

But that was alright. She didn't care to explain herself. She told the others that she preferred being alone. Things were simpler that way. And yet, she would never tell anyone just how lonely she really was. She told Excalibur, though, many times.

Lauren shrugged. "I was training more often than I was at home. But I always wondered what school was like. It looks like so much fun in the movies."

"It's been fun so far." Of course there hadn't been any lessons yet. "I'm looking forward to trying new things." Although she sounded a little flat, when saying it, as if it was something she recited without necessarily believing.

"No," she admitted after a pause. "But I agreed to come, so here I am."

"I'm sure I'll make friends," Lauren said brightly. "And there'll be proms and parties and all the usual things that you have at school."

Lauren just shrugged and watched her go before turning to the other horses.
