i can't figure out if these means your moving out or if it means something totally different...

No, I'm not moving out.

I meant moving out in the sense of soldiers moving out of their camp to march, you know? And then they move on to war, a new experience for all of them. And they are a little nervous and afraid but at the same time very excited and intrigued at the thought of going to battle.

They have a dauntless but inwardly injured general leading them and they are dependent upon him to bring them forward to victory, not defeat or retreat.

They depend on their training being useful as well. Those months spent learning to fire their rifles and dodge enemy fire and how to move behind enemy liners.


I am not really sure why I was thinking about it, but I was and I'm sure I'll understand eventually.

Hmm...that totally made me think of snow white and seven dwarfs sing "hi ho, hi ho, its off to work we go." Also i find it quite discombobulating that your comments are so much longer than your posts (and much more detailed). Actually it's not really that discombobulating but mostly that is just a really fun word to say slash type.

Also, why on earth would you saddle up a cow? Unless it was a pack cow of course, but still! That would not be a comfortable nor speedy ride to get where you are planning to go in a reasonable amount of time.

Maybe I don't want it to be speedy, ever think of that?

Also, my saddle happens to be spectacularly comfortable, thank you.
Cows actually give a very smooth ride, when you have the right saddle.
[You gotta get a saddle that is kinda morphed to your bum shape/size. That makes the best ride.]

ALSO, who ever said I was a reasonable individual?
