They were curious at first, but now crowd around to get to the rare treat.

Fae-blooded or no, they are gorgeous. And as far off as they are from Apples, definitely different lines of breeding stock.

She makes a note of this even as the sugar cubes are drawing them. "Oh the Baron would love you guys. Dee too."

They eagerly lip up the sugar, but soon are back at play. They romp and wheel, splash and turn, dancing across to kick up clouds of sand or surf.

She watches them play and takes out the camera she has to take a picture or two while they do

She's not dumb enough to 'selfie' with them

She can take pictures and video!

She does. She can't send it to the Baron, no wifi but she can show him later. And she does not neglect the mare she's on, taking her for an easy ride where there are areas of green to enjoy and if need be dine on, and then giving her a bit of a run to mix excercise with spoiling

The spirit of the wild horses does put a bit of a skip in her step, and Gwen has a nice ride!

And soon she is returning to the Redfins. Still unsure what Boon she'd ask for

Ciaran jogs along the beach, searching for a trio of Drylanders.

Frankie is being introduced to WAVES!

Who, it seems, have all split up!

Mostly wading.

He spots Thistle first, and walks over. “Champion Thistlethwaite? I hate to interrupt, but I think there is a call for you. Have you seen your other Companions?

Trina's been to the beach plenty of times, and so she can watch her little brother as he navigates.

"Um... Gwen went after some horses?"

"Art... where is Art?"

Art was last seen being flagged by Niamh earlier. Maybe for more riddles…

"I think Niamh had him."

Luis was invited to help show Frankie the ropes.

Little Louis looks at Ciaran, and waves off Thistle. “I watch brotha Frankie. I won’t even charge.”

Gwen comes up "Hey guys" SHe's wearing a new T shirt

“Thank goodness. Dame Gladiola, there was a call for you. Quite insistent.”

“A Mrs. Stewart? She wanted to speak to all of you, in fact.”

"Oh? " A surprised look "oh gosh, mom! I guess I should call her again"

"No swimming without at least a wilder around, okay?"

Frankie calls, “I promise!” As they leave, he is asking Louis, “…wilder than what?” The other boy laughs and explains…

Gwen heads to the phone to make a call

And Art and Thistle can join her if they want to talk or listen in

As they head inside, Art joins them. “What’s up?”

"Mom is panicky I guess? I left a message telling her we were all right" Dialing
