Riding About (Lirael)

[Saraneth]

Saraneth led her saddled mare, Xylara, out onto the field. The mare pranced excitedly, sharing her mistresses eagerness to get out into the open air.

Saraneth mounted Xylara with ease, her emerald eyes sparkling at the prospect of a new day and a new ride. She hoped that a certain family member that she hadn't seen since the war at Masbolle would show up so that they could talk about what was going to happen.

I'd better get Xylara warmed up while I'm waiting. she thought. She nudged the mare into a walk, making her walk the field for awhile before easing her into trot and finally a gallop.

Lir, where are you? she thought.

[Lirael]

((Sorry, I didnt know where this was. Lateness...))

Lirael slipped into her saddle and kicked the door closed on the open stall. Her mare plodded on the cobblestones between the two rows of stalls.
Hurry Up Lir! She'll have left by the time you turn up! Trying to ride a little faster, she almost knocked into a hostler who was dragging a sour looking horse through the dap between her and the other wall. SHe tried to reverse into the wall, and the hostler pulled the mare through.

"Sara!" Lirael called.
