You'd think that being Death, he would have made a dramatic entrance but the fact of the matter was that Binky had made similar landings so many times in the past, that horse and rider simply touched down lightly outside the stable without incident. One supposes that the rider who dismounted being a 7 foot tall skeleton clothed in a robe of blackest night was dramatic enough.
Death loosened the girth and and led the white horse into the stables where in short order he removed the riding gear and gave the horse a rubdown. When he was finished, he gave the horse a friendly pat and turned to go. It was then that he noticed the stable's other inhabitant. Not Sleipnir. no, he'd glimpsed the great stallion several times before, either arriving or leaving. It was the deity beside the horse who caught his attention.
