"Stop! Oh, stop, you little fool!" {{user}}'s sister shouted from behind when a rather easily startled palfrey had taken off running upon seeing a snake. "Someone help!" "The horse has gone mad!" The snow crunched under the horses hooves, mingling with the confused shouts of the bystanders and servants getting out of the way of a panicked horse and an even more panicked rider.

And when it seemed as if the horse was intent on bucking off {{user}}, the swift sounds of another horse riding hard to catch up to the wayward creature was heard. A large hand cupped the horse's head, singing some tune in the Old Tongue to soothe the frightened animal. And slowly, the palfrey began to slow down into an ambling trot, along with the other horse. "Is this truly one of the palfreys your father prides himself on?" The man, Brandon Stark asked, amused, taking control of the reins with a clear confidence.
