Spotting the approaching visitors, Celendil, sends the young foal he was working with back out to the field.
“Hail and well meet travelers” he states. “I do indeed have some of my beauties for sale, let me call them in for you.” Turning back to the open field, where many beautiful horses can be seen eating, frolicking and even sleeping in the fresh air, he lets out a series of distinct whistles. Within minutes, several gorgeous horses came galloping up, sleek and supple, examples of perfect breeding, the horses slowing down and stopping next to the elf.
“Hear they are, a few of my darlings for you to select” Starting at one end of the line of horses, he places a hand on a tall, well-muscled gelding, dark bay in color with flashes of red, like flames, when the sun hits him at certain angles. “This here is Condor. He is fleet of foot and quick of mind, he has keen eyes and can spot things at great distances.”
The next in line is a smaller mare, golden chestnut with a white star and two white socks. “Let me introduce you next to Miramis, she is sassy and has a proud attitude, this one doesn’t like to get dirty.” Laughing he moves to the next horse.
“And here is Nahar.” Silver as the moon in color, large and sleek, the stallion stamps a hoof while dropping his head to Celendil’s hands. “Nahar is a stallion, spirited, brave and true. But his natural instincts to be in charge mean that he can be quite a handful, unless you show him the proper respect and authority.”
As he approaches the next horse, a dapple grey mare, she reaches out her head and using her teeth pulling the edge of his shirt out of his pants before he can bring her head up. “And here is Sky Dancer, she is both mischievous and curious, not afraid of anything it seems. But, as you can see, she will also keep you on your toes.” Laughing, he moves to the other side of the mare to the last horse in the line.
A tall, black mare with a streak of white down her forehead shaped like a lightning bolt. “This is Tiah. She is fast and quick-tempered with a no-nonsense attitude. She does not like to be pet or coddled much, but prefers to be on the move and getting down to business.”
Turning back to his visitors he says “So, will any of these do for you two fine adventurers? My prices are the normal just about anywhere, 2gp each, if that works.” He looks at them patiently while they make their selection.
