(Oh, Haha. My bad.)
"thoroughbred horses are known for their speed though. That's what breed race horses are. So if we don't want to be followed easily, I would recommend those." Esmae gestured to the back of the stables where they were kept.

"Okay!" Vida agreed, "That's probably a good idea. We just have to be fast and careful when we go."
Katya nodded, "Yeah. Let's steal the horses."
Esmae saw one that was beautiful. It was all black, and its coat was so shiny, anyone could tell he was very well taken care of. "This one, this one is definitely mine." The horse huffed and blew air in her face.
"Do we really all need a separate horse?" Katya asked Esmae, "We could probably share."
"No way, sorry, but I'm not sharing a horse." Esmae's always loved horses, and if she got one it was going to be hers. "Y'all can get your own."
"That's just being sel-fish," Katya responded, "There's four of us. We should only really need two horses. I don't think Nathan knows how to ride and I don't either."
"You don't know how to ride a horse? Isn't that one of the first things you learn?" Esmae laughed as she grabbed a halter from the tack shed. She then opened the gate and put a lead on to tie the horse up and get it ready to leave.
"If I learned I don't remember," Katya put an emphasis on the last word trailing after Esmae, "Like most of my friends."
"Fine, but this is my horse, I'm just giving you a ride." Esmae really didn't want too, but this was something she could do anything about. "And in the future remind me to teach you." Quickly Esmae grabbed a saddle and effortlessly put it on. It came like second nature to her.
Katya nodded and watched Esmae, "Can do. Come on guys let's go."
"I can ride a little," Vida said as she picked out a smaller horse with a calm demeanor, "Nathan, you can go with me! I'll try to be careful. I promise."
"Well, this horse is ready. Does anyone else know how to put on a saddle so we can take another horse?" Esmae that it would be difficult if she were the only one, and if so, she was definitely going to teach all of them. "And Vida, you can ride enough to not get either of you hurt?"
“I think so. My brother taught me how to ride. I wasn’t great at it, but I can keep us safe,” Vida said, sounding pretty confident.
"Alright. Well, can you put a saddle on?" Though she knew how to ride, it didn't mean she knew how to get a horse saddled up. Esmae started to put her things on the packs that hung on each side of the horse.
“It’s been a while, but I do know how,” Vida said.
She grabbed a saddle and started trying to put it on the horse. While she was having trouble doing it efficiently, she was at least doing it correctly.
Katya held onto her bag because she didn't feel safe putting it on the horse. At the very least they were getting somewhere.
"Alright." Esmae mounted the horse and held a hand out for Katya. The horse was pretty tall and if she doesn't know how to ride then she was going to need help up.
Vida looked to Nathan after she got the saddle on and wondered if she should get on first or help him up first.
Katya took Esmae's hand and pulled herself up onto the horse. The horse's back was only a little taller than her, what? She's a tall kid.
(Blup)
“Is everyone ready?” Vida asked, helping Nathan up and then carefully climbing on the back of the horse herself.
"I am." Esmae took the reins, determination in her eyes.
Uriah
Uriah stumbled to the ground as the young boy in front of his knocked his feet out from under him. He knew he was told not to underestimate him, but he did. He's more skilled than I thought. The more hits he got on Uriah, the more the crowd cheered for him. Uriah stood, blood dripping from his mouth. There's no way I'm going to lose here. A picture of Luna flashed in his mind for a moment before disappearing. Not now. The kid ran straight towards Uriah. Uriah stood there for a moment before stepping slightly to the left and clothes lining him. The you boy fell to the ground choking for air. While he was down Uriah continued to kick and punch the boy, he didn't want to, but this is Panther's guild.
Katya nodded and looked to where to put her hands, eventually just holding onto the saddle, "So am I."
Trembling just a little, Vida nodded.
“Let’s do this.”
