Description Ooooh no, I think even Sister Owl protests to this new mode of transportation. Swift seems to quote enjoy it. "Aaaaah, my sore leg muscles can now relax."

Did you know horses are rarely off their feet for long? They do actually sleep standing up but you can find them dozing either in stalls or out in the field lying on their sides. The reason equines are rarely off their feet is similar to the reason giraffe's also cannot be down for long: circulation. If you have an emaciated horse one of the worse signs is if they go down and struggle to get back up - or if they stop trying. For giraffes, well, that's a long way to pump blood and its nutrients against gravity.  

Doing this year's Inktober to the 2016 prompts you can find here .

Oh my god Swift, how this happened is beyond me (and probably beyond Gabriel) but he can only go so fast hauling His Royal Highness about. Lol I imagine Swift's legs thrashing lol, stop it! *gets crushed beneath his impressive weight* what a way to die! Flattened by the new king of hypocrisy.
His Highness is in an unseasonably insane humour this morning, did that tree he usually converses with tell a hilarious joke again my liege?
Sister Owl needs to full harder woman! She's not relieving any of the weight.
I wonder which poor fool volunteered to break Gabriel in...*bucks and kicks and bites*
So noble a steed for royalty

Crushed by a ton of horse! Damn.

Swift: Oh yes, and she even wove a pretty leaf and flower garland for me. Now where did I put that thing...

She's givin' it all she's got but I have a suspicion that if she pulls too much harder she'll just start ripping off chunks of the toilet paper crown!

Hm. Maybe Swift did it himself?

At least it would be a memorable death!

*patronises him as he is the new king after all* - I believe, my lord, that one decided it didn't match one's attire this morning so ate it

that'd lessen the load by a fraction at least!

He's such a talented human-whisperer lol

*snort* That is definitely the only thing I'd know to call it as well xD

Swift: Nonsense my good fellow, why would I eat that dryad's garland? Unless she put edibles in there...she is quite the herbologist. Hm. Perhaps I was meant to eat it.

Well then keep pullin, Sister Owl!

Haha Swift would agree! Don't tell Kiara though.

'stupidest way to die' would be another

Gabriel- ...my liege...I fear you may have devoured the dryad as well!

She's pulling *spits out bits of toiletroll that got stuck in her beak*

Lol she has no idea she's been tamed! Noooo

LOL

Swift: *narrows his eyes at Gabriel - then chuckles* What flattery that you believe me that powerful, manservant. *claps him on the back with a hoof* but that dryad is much older than even I! What you claim is not possible. Now, it's time for the royal hoof polishing. 

Oh goodness xD

Well, the plus side is she's 'tamed' only to Swift in that regard.

Gabriel *biting back the urge to say 'polish your own damned hoofs'* - You honour me too much your lordship, it has always been my dream to give you the shiniest hooves in all the land because I have nothing better to do with my life - I shall be able to die the happiest man who ever lived! May I keep your hoof clippings?"

I need to draw this, it'd be like Gulliver when he goes and lives with the Houyhnhnm's - which are horses www.shmoop.com/gullivers-trave…

Swift: "You should be honouredpeon human and I shall consider rewarding you with my clippings when my gold digits are brilliant beyond all compare!"
Kiara: "WHO PUT THE CROWN OF MADNESS ON SWIFT?!?!"

Yes, totally illustrate it!
Wait, that's a thing? Is it in the Gulliver Travels book? Perhaps I should read that book too.

*Gabriel decides to vanish at that moment* to be fair he put the crown on himself, everyone saw it, with his hooves!

Yes it's in the book apparently, and the tv show that Hallmark made - they're meant to be noble and wise, while the nasty ape-like human things are disgusting and ew
