Like how Raven had picked up on her small lie, Carina could pick up on the mage's reluctance to spend half a day or so riding to their destination on horseback. She was one to value her personal space too, so the idea didn't send excitement surging through her, but the cleric couldn't see any other way around it. "I'm afraid so," she responded, masking her own resentment towards sharing her saddle with someone else. "It's not my idea of an ideal day out either, but unless you want to walk for twenty or so miles, there's not much else on offer." The ride could be an interesting one, too, because her gelding didn't take to strangers well, it was only because Carina had been with him since birth that the palomino tolerated her. Chucking Raven into the saddle too may not be the smartest idea, unless the male equine was on his best behaviour. Of course, the cleric would never let anything happen to the mage, as she would be out of the saddle before anything could happen, but it would slow them down if such a thing should occur.
"My horse here, Vigilance, he's not going to go and do anything that would put either of us in danger, or risk of injury. And even if he did, I know him like the back of my own hand, I can predict his movements as he can mine, and you would be off and well away from him before he could do anything to you. I can understand if you would rather take the on-foot method, but we'd cover a lot more ground if we were both riding." As she spoke, the male palomino snorted and shifted his weight from one side of his body to the other, flicking his ears in obvious impatience. Like any spirited horse, he was eager to get moving as soon as possible, and Carina wasn't one to linger either. "It's up to you, though, no pressure either way." Carina herself would much prefer it if she didn't have to share her personal space or her horse, but in this instance, she could stand it if Raven chose horseback over walking on foot. Twenty miles by horseback was a lengthy ride, and most likely uncomfortable for the both of them, but it was their only available mode of transport.
Noah was still ambling around the clearing of Zale, when his peripheral vision caught sight of Amber heading back in the direction of the den. She seemed to be fit and well, no trace of any paralyzed limbs or strange exper smoke. Looking around and reminding himself of the fact that he didn't have much else better to do, he clasped his hands loosely behind his back and strolled over to the assassin.
"Amber, looking as lovely as ever," the mercenary called as he drew closer, halting himself just inside of the female's personal space. "Well-rested, are we?"
((Apologies for more short posts, should lengthen out soon!))
