-I pull Alida around into my arms- "Shh...It's alright." -I look at Kris- "Forgive her. We just woke up. We're heading north to buy a castle."
Kris: Hmmm... I haven't a doubt you are an excellent shot... But unexpected things may occur... I was ambushed on my way here. My guard of 8 elite were slaughtered by simple highwaymen... Because they ambushed us.
-I hold back a grin at Alida- "Aye. He's a ranger horse. They're trained that only their riders who know the safe word can ride them. They let out a low grumble when danger is near and follow various commands."
-The horse gives a soft whinny as of acknowledging the compliment. I nod at Alida and look back at Kris- "Forgives us but we must head out of we are to make it witching 2 days. You are welcome to join us if you like."
