After desert Brenk leaned over and whispered into Kaliska ear. "Ready to go find our new home?"

"Oh... um... " She found herself staring back. "Are you going to the Moonfest tomorrow?"

Ferris gave a nod. "I will.. keep an eye out." As if Braxton's words triggered something. Ferris sighed and le out a breath after Braxton left. He then went to get his clean shirt. He took off his vest and hung it on a nail. "Will be ready to go with you in a moment Jazmine." He said quietly.

Kaliska looked up at him excitedly, and nodded. "Yeah!" she whispered back, smiling.
"I wasn't planning to.... but I might." Barrett shrugged, looking away. "I don't know..."
Jasmine stood quietly in the corner, her cheeks red with embarrassment. She nodded at Ferris, and then looked at the floor.
Brenk smiled then stood up. "My family it has been an honor, and you have my deepest thanks. It is time for us to find our new home." He nodded. Everyone else rose and then they said their good byes. Brenk took Kaliska's hand. "Lets go to the dwelling manager." He kissed the back of her hand and then drew her close to his side.

Ferris went over to the water bucket and washed up rel quick then threw his other shirt back on and rolled up the sleeves. "Okay, let's go." He waked over to her.
Kaliska smiled, then looked up at Brenk. "Let's go." she said eagerly, squeezing him.
"Oh, of course. Let me know if you need anything." he said, getting up. "I probably should get going." he shrugged, then hugged her. "Thanks for the drink of water."
"K." Jasmine mumbled, and walked out. They walked in silence until they got to the road, then she asked, "Ferris... what did he mean by 'there are'..?" she looked at him, a puzzled look on her face.
Once they arrived at the office they were to first choose where on the planet they wanted to live. "Well you live in the forest for so long.. I doubt you would want to go for a cottage in the woods... unless it is close to a village... Riverton is nice.. like living on the ay rivers with flowering tree's year round? (When she says yes to something I will post the pic)

She was not expecting a hug so she stiffened. Then she relaxed and hugged him back. "You are welcome... um... you should come to the restaurant sometime. I can get you a good deal there."

"Its just not safe for young mares and fillies to be out alone.. That's part of the reason we romp in groups.. I saw you standing there alone.. so I invited you." He mentioned clearing his throat.
Kaliska thought for a moment, then nodded. "I like Riverton.." she said slowly, wondering what he preferred.
"That'd be nice, I will sometime." Barrett said, striding toward the door.
"O-oh....." Jasmine said, looking down. "He's never told me why though.." she said, shrugging. She fixed the baskets on her shoulders, and continued walking.
