Theodosia nods her head and stands up. She heads into the house and asks for one for someone to fetch one of the carriages.

Miguel sat outside patiently, waiting for Theodosia.

Theodosia returns a few minutes later. "The carriage is waiting out front for us."

Miguel nodded and stood up, “Okay, sounds good, shall we go then?”

Theodosia nods her head. "Yes, let's go." She ushers Addie inside before heading around to the front gate.

Miguel follows Theodosia to the carriage and gets on after she does.

Theodosia climbs up into the carriage and takes a seat, running her hands along her dress to smooth it out.

Miguel turns to look at Theodosia as the carriage starts moving, “How far is it, Lady Theodosia?”

"Not too terribly long. We should arrive within the hour," Theodosia responds as she peers out of the window.

Miguel nodded, “Alright, not long at all.”

"Will you be getting lessons as well once we arrive?" She asks curiously.

"Not sure," Miguel replied uncertainly.

"Are you not fond of horses?" She raises her brows at him.

"Horses are just fine, I'm just not used to riding any type of animal." Miguel responded.

Theodosia nods her head. “It is rather odd, isn’t it?” Riding a horse is a weird feeling in her opinion.

"Yes, very," Miguel agreed.

Theodosia lapses into silence. They arrive at the stables a little while later.

Miguel stepped out of the carriage first and held the carriage door open and his other hand out to offer to help her get down.

Theodosia smiles in appreciation and takes his hand, carefully climbing out of the carriage. Looking around, her eyes brighten. It’s beautiful. A large stable lays out in front of them. Rolling green fields with horses are in the distance.

Miguel smiles admiringly at Theodosia as her eyes lit up when she began looking around, "Nice place," he said.

“Yes, it’s lovely,” Theodosia agrees with a smile and a nod. “Oh, look at the horses!” She heads over to the fence and watches as a pretty black mare approaches.

Miguel follows close behind and studies the mare

Theodosia cautiously reaches out and pets the horse’s nose. The animal accepts the attention happily. An older man approaches after a few minutes.

Miguel glances towards the man and offers a kind smile, "Good day, sir."

Theodosia turns and smiles slightly. “Hello, Mr. Smith,” She says, trying not to show how uncomfortable she is.
Mr. Smith, an older man with cold brown eyes, nods slightly in greeting. “Are you here for riding lessons?”
