......Hidden hearts....(felinemon)

[felinemon]

Julianne nodded enthusiastically, understanding. "Three hours!" she said excitedly to herself. Just another three hours and she would meet her brother! A thought struck her.

"How will we know where to find my brother?"

[Етеяиiту]

He shrugged,"i know the place you spoks of, but again, he might not reside there" he stated.

[felinemon]

Julianne's face fell. It had been a long shot to begin with- no! She couldn't think like this. Her grip on the reigns tightened as she shook her head determined, if not stubbornly. It WAS a long shot- but it was one she was willing to take. "We'll find him. I'm sure."

[Етеяиiту]

He smiled at her determination, what he had left of his heart aching for a relationship like brother and sister, even better like soulmates.

[felinemon]

Julianne pushed her horse forward a bit before relaxing. It was going to be a long ride-as if her thighs and back weren't sore enough from yesterday!

[Етеяиiту]

He was calm on the horse, slightly at peace though he was used to being one of them, being among them.

[felinemon]

The hours passed in silence, Julianne always staying just a hoof-step behind Joesph, as to not get lost, until finally, she saw a town. "Is that it?" she asked, pointing to the smoke on the horizon.

[Етеяиiту]

he nodded,"yes" he said as he rode up to a stream and got off his horse.

[felinemon]

Julianne followed suit, tapping her foot impatiently as she waited for the horse to finish. But, deep down she knew that it would do her no good to kill the horse in her eagerness to reach the town. "How much longer? Do you think?" she wondered, peering intensely at the town in the distance.

[Етеяиiту]

"We should be there by nightfall if we rest the horses for an hour"

[felinemon]

Julianne raised an eyebrow, "NIGHTFALL? I thought you said the whole trip would only take three hours! We've been going at this since this morning!"

[Етеяиiту]

He shook hi head,"you are foolish, I was being sarcastic, now calm down the town is close we will reach within two hours" he said.

[felinemon]

Julianne breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay. Let's get going. Don't scare me like that!"

[Етеяиiту]

He rolled his eyes and hopped back on his horse.

[felinemon]

Julianne sighed, and splashed her face with water before remounting her own horse. She tightened the reigns. "Let's go."

[Етеяиiту]

He frowned and rushed over to smack her hand,"dont pull on the horses mouth!"

[felinemon]

Julianne stiffens, but puts her hand down on the saddlehorn, effectively loosening the reigns.

[Етеяиiту]

He nodded and then began to trot away at a very slow jog so as not to tire the horse.

[felinemon]

Lupa clicked with her tongue, signalling to the horse that it should follow. The saddle was stiff, and her thighs were sore after the previous day's journey, but she kept her complaints to herself. This guy didn't seem to be very talkative, so neither would she.

[Етеяиiту]

Joseph was silent until they were so closehe could smell the cooking food. He heard his stomach growl and he frowned. He looked at her,"we will go to eat then find your brother
