Thomas who yet was reluctant at the idea to kill animals, especially for the pleasure of the game, can't bear to look at the other men killing some animals or trying to, so he look elsewhere, feeling too bad about it for participate and remain aside, trying to forget it in contemplting the beauty of the nature. Some drops of cold waters that fall on his face get him out of his thoughts, he lift his eyes to the grey sky and see that it's starting to rain, feel relieved as he understand that the hunt is over, thinking that in the future, he shouldn't participate to hunts anymore and politely turn to the king, waiting for his decision to end it before to leave.

Norfolk stayed behind all the time though close enough to the king to see and hear what happened around him. He grinned disapprovingly as he noticed some of the men were so eager to show their skills, that they even didn't wait for the king to shoot some animal himself. He did at ease, he had nothing to proof but when he heard them talking about returning to court because there fell some raindrops, he grinned.
A little rain doesn't stop a true hunter, does it? he asked incredulously. At the same time he noticed a boar in the distance and he calmly placed his arrow and shot with a firm hand. It grazed off on the boar's hip and it started to run away, infatuated. He swore under his breath and looked challenging around. Let's chase it... who comes with me? His horse stamped her foot impatiently.

Henry grinned, looking at Norfolk. It seemed that rain wouldn't stop him
Very well...if you wishes to continue, you can stay, my lord. But I think we should retire and coming back another day. Even better...I suggest to eat this animals tomorrow at Autumn Party! Sir Wyatt! You look bored...would you follow me?
He said, while raining was making wet his head and shoulders. He winked at them and kept on riding his horse slowly towards Palace, holding proudly his bird in his hand

"Charles shrugged and glanced at Anthony. He had no animals with him, which it was very rare. He was a good hunter, but he had to obey to King once again"
Well...it seems that luck and weather are not on my side, today. And the young Henry Norris won this challange! Ah... I think we'll have something to talk about tomorrow in the Great Hall. My lords...
"He nodded to Norris to congratulate with him and followed the King with his horse"

Thomas, looking at the king as he talk to him, shake his head slighty, because even if as he expected it, he hadn't like to hunt at all, he don't want to make it feel to him and answer politely.
No, I am not bored, your majesty.
Then he nodd and add fastly, smiling
[color]But yes, I would be delighted to follow you, of course. [/color]
He turn back and ride his horse toward the palace by the king's side.

Royce nodded after the King spoke. He tied the deer at his horse and kept on following the King, Wyatt and Brandon towards Palace. He still couldn't believe the hunt had been successful for him

"I suppose we should call it a day," I said feeling the rain on me.

Norfolk snorted as he saw no one accepted his challenge. He looked longingly at the bear but it disappeared among the bushes. Henry turned his horse and they all followed him back to the castle, so he sighed and went behind them.
