Sahlonek sighs, and waits. When Lucendi and Lucitius finally finish up, he manages to portray a relieved face without having a face.

"Good question." he mutters, looking at Lucitius's bandaged legs doubtfully.

Lucitius sighed,”Very well.”

He then shrugged at Lucendi’s next words.

“I have no adequate reply to that. ‘Tis all I have known.”

To reply to the pair’s question, Lucitius summoned his staff, which appeared effortlessly, and used it to assist him in standing. His legs shook heavily once he put weight on them, and he nearly fell over a few times, but he managed to stay upright, leaning on his staff. It was clear that without the staff, he wouldn’t be standing.

“Well, that is answered. Though, I highly doubt I can walk,”Lucitius remarked, shaking his head and sighing.

Lucendi nods, then chuckles at Lucitius's response. "Really? I have left mine savior speechless for once? How rare."

Lucendi chuckles despite herself. "I suppose I should call in a favor, then."

She whistles sharply, and moments later an equine shape bursts through the clouds. It lands, then neighs softly. Lucendi chuckles and places her forehead against the white stallion's head, whispering. It snorts and shakes its head, then trots over to Lucitius.

"Hop on." Lucendi grins.

Sahlonek looks stunned, then starts laughing.

"Holy shit! Really, Lucendi?" he exclaims. "You have a favor from the fucking horse?"

Lucitius snorted in amusement,”In your own way, aye.”

Lucitius watched Lucendi curiously, then stared at the horse in awe. A wide grin formed on his face.

“Much like the horses of Blue Wind,”he said thoughtfully.

Lucitius gently, even reverently, caressed the horse’s mane, then kneaded the ground with his feet a moment, hesitating.

“‘Tis been many, many millennia since I last rode any form of horse,”he mentioned.

After a moment, Lucitius’ form wavered, becoming ethereal, and he used his staff lift himself up and guide him over to the horse. He then sat down sideways, becoming corporeal again, and swung his leg over to properly straddle the steed. Even with his stature and wounds, Lucitius weighed almost nothing while on the horse.

“‘Tis useful being born ethereal in one life and corporeal in another,”he commented with a chuckle.

Lucendi chuckles, then cracks a true smile at Lucitius's reaction to the majestic stallion. "I saved this one a while back, when the fuckhead in my head was stirring up trouble elsewhere. Needless to say, I got that sorted out."

She watches as Lucitius mounts the horse, and her smile turns soft, remembering the first time she'd met him. He had been sitting astride a similar horse, as she recalled.

"I suppose we should check on the other cities." she murmurs.
