[EVENT RP] The Reclamation of Tania

[Andy]

"Hmph. Seems some of them are trying the stables," Fred muttered, looking at the ladies going off to fetch horses. "Why not? No worse a plan for being obvious. Come on, this way. I stabled my horse elsewhere, and last I checked, it was full." He and Satsume carried the sleeping Yuri between them, with the mercenary leading the way, carrying his legs. It wasn't all that far away, but it was in the opposite direction Cecily and Paige had gone. This stable had been out of earshot of the sleeping galdr, and was more full. Fred set Yuri's legs down and went in. He spent fifteen minutes in there, then brought out two horses with saddles on. Both of them were palfreys, that is, riding animals, but neither were war-trained.

"They'll take you anywhere, except the heat of battle," Ambrose said when he saw Satsume eyeing the beasts. "Now, help me get Yuri onto mine, and you can ride the other one." The mercenary checked the horses, then grabbed Yuri's legs again. He and Satsume got Yuri to flop onto the horse, correctly in the saddle by sheer luck. Ambrose mounted up behind him, keeping the smaller Keeper from falling off the horse. When the other armored warrior had mounted the second animal, they had them canter back to the inn, then on to the stable. Ambrose noticed that, quite unlike Roland, Satsume did not sit a horse well, and further, did not appear as if he could fight effectively from horseback. Yet.

At any rate, Fred and Satsume found themselves at the stable, with Paige, Cecily, Shad, and another figure awakening and saddling two horses.
