Welcome to Gaia! ::

"We call him Sol, he's brother to my horse, which was going to be named Luna, but since it turned out to be a male, we called him Lunarexion." After she walked out of the stall, he shut it back though not bothering to latch it, they weren't here to see who could be the tidiest house keeper. He left her to continue working with Sol as she saw fit, making his way back to Lunarexion, rubbing his head gently as he reached into his saddlebag, taking out the water flask. He tipped it up to his lips, taking another swig of the liquid, for he would soon need the energy for the journey to Gondor. After taking his share of the flask, he put it back into his bag, closing the flap over it and turning around, waiting patiently on Elrothiel.

Elrothiel spent about another minute bonding with the horse to make sure that they could enjoy a good working relationship. With a few last phrases in Elvish she led him over to Eroswyn and quickly mounted, waiting for a couple of minutes to that the horse could adjust to her weight and manner of riding. "I'm ready." she commented, slightly unnecessarily, still concentrating on judging the horse.

Eroswyn gave Elrothiel and Sol a quick lookover simply to assure himself the pair would be fine. He wasted no time in mounting Lunarexion, before remembering the man that had been following the elf, his hand swinging the reigns around, soon facing the south east. He did not take off yet, not wanting to leave her escort behind. "So what about the man who was following you, shall we return and retrieve him?"

Elrothiel shook her head. "The others have chosen their own paths for the moment. We'll probably meet them again soon. I have a feeling that soon all our paths will lead to the same place." She sighed. "The final stand, I wonder if the free world will survive it." She shook off her momentary pessimism and smiled again, even if she was worried about the others. "I don't know the lands hereabouts very well as I have only been here once before," she added calmly, "so I'll leave the navigating in your expert hands. Lead on."

Sol needed minimum encouragement to follow and Elrothiel immediately began to admire his style as she put him through his paces. His movement was fast and powerful and he soon came up close enough behind Lunarexion so that Elrothiel could speak to Eroswyn. "Do you think that they will send riders after us?" Elrothiel half-shouted over the thundering hooves.

((Oh ok sorry!))

She followed him, gradually getting closer. When he stopped, Venerah circled ahead, afraid he'd noticed her and he stopped to attack. She slowly lost altitude, and then landed silently in a near-by pine tree. Venerah's feet suddenly hurt from crouching on a branch, so she sat down on the branch. She heard a faint crack, Oh no... She thought. The branch gave in, making Venerah crash to the ground.

"I doubt they will bother pursuing us, we probably did them a favor." Eroswyn shouted as he continued his way across the plains, intent on leaving Rohan as quickly as possible, but once they had crossed it's borders, he hoped that the elf would be more familiar with the lands of Gondor than he, for he had never been to the White City. But that was a problem for the future, for now they had to worry about escaping the lands of the horse-lords, hopefully without being pursued.
