Izrênna looked at the man as he left. He snorted. Was he snorting at her? Most likely yes, he was.
She rolled her eyes. Well, it seemed he was preparing to leave, so she may as well make his acquaintence.
She sighed and led the grey horse over back towards where the big man was. She flung the reins up over the horse's head and touched his nose, hoping that he would stay there, where she left him. She saw the man look at her in surprise as she approached. She smiled and extended her hand, hoping that she would change his opinion of her.
"'ello," she said, trying to sound at least a bit bigger than she was. She extended her hand and he looked at it. She drew it back.
"Yes?" he said, coldly.
Izrênna stepped back and thought to herself for a second. This was obviously not a good time. She stepped back and returned to her horse, who was still waiting. She wondered what this man's problem was with her. She knew she was small, but most people were fairly accepting of it.
She sighed and petted the horse, whispering to it. Horses did not care if you were under five-feet five-inches. She kissed the horse, then went back to waiting for the others to arrive...
