Okay, I trust you.
Septima crossed her hands back on the table and smiled halfheartedly.

Skye nodded, imperceptably, and continued chatting until the end of the meal.

After finishing, Septima thanked the royals again for their hospitality. She shifted her gaze over to Skye.

Skye did the same as pwople began to disperse. He was about to lead Septima off when Jackson stopped them.
"Perchance that you and your advisor would like to take a ride into town with me?" He asked.
Skye tried to think of a wah to refuse but came up empty and agreed.
Well this is awesome. he told Septima. I hope you can ride.

A horse? Of course I can! She replied, It was part of my training.
She stared at Jackson with cold, gray eyes for a moment, then looked back to Skye.
Well, we gonna do this?

Skye smiled cordially as Jackson led them off to the stables. Obviously. he said. I just hope I don't end up blowing our cover because of this.

What could we do wrong? she asked.
She followed Skye and Jackson to the stables, making sure to watch Jackson’s movement very carefully.

You're not the one I'm worried about. It's me. he said. I know how to ride… sort of… but the real problem is my wolf half. No horse is gonna let me ride willingly

Oh jeez… Do you need to get out of this?
Septima looked at the horses.
Hopefully I can help calm one down for you if you can’t. I have a way with horses myself.

I can't get out of it. said Skye, Worst case scenario I'll be thrown and get injured. Hopefully I'll beable to use my abilities to communicate with whatever mount they get me, or control the mount.

Stay near me. I’ll try to help as well as I can.
She looked at all the horses. One of them started trying to nibble at her hair as she passed by. She pulled her head out of the way, then turned and stroked its forehead.

Skye slowly walked into the stable, noting how most of the horse backed away from him, seeming to detest his prescence. I can handle it. Just stay out of it.

Fine. Just don’t get hurt.
Septima kept her hand on the horse’s muzzle.

Jackson had the stable boy lead out a fine mare for Septima, and a proud gelding for Skye. Skye took the reigns with confidence, though the horse seemed to glare at him. Th prince had his own stallion and was leading him outside, Skye motioned for Setima to follow. "Alright al, he spoke to the horse. "You and I are gonna make a deal ok? You be a good boy and let me ride. And I'll sneak you carrots later tonight, and the night after, and so on for as long as I'm here. Alright?"
The horse blinked, but seemed to understand. Skye nodded and led him out.

Septima mounted the white mare easily and took the reigns. She brought the horse to a brisk trot, then slowed a bit to wait for Jackson and Skye to catch up.

Skye was soon outside, He gave one last firm look to his horse before mounting with minimal difficulty. Getting his balance he guided the horse over to where Septima and Jackson were already waiting. See? I told you I had this! he said, with a hint of pride.

I'm glad you did, Septima replied.
She looked at Jackson.
"Where are we going exactly?"

Jackson smiled, "Into town, down by the market. There are a few things I have to get personally." he said, urging his horse off towards the gates.
Skye followed shortly after, seeming almost an expert.

"Alright," Septima replied.
She urged her horse onward and had the mare canter alongside Jackson and his steed.
Septima kept her eyes up, gazing towards the town.
Anything we ought to look for while out here? She asked Skye.

Not really, I'd pay more attention to what Jackson does. said Skye, **Though I'd suggest keeping an eye on how people react to his prescence while we're at it."

Right, I'll do that.
Septima fell a few paces behind Jackson and took a good look at him and his horse. She examined the clothes he was wearing for anything unusual, but didn't find much.

Skye nodded, You keep an eye on Jackson, I'll note reactions.

Easy, she replied.
Septima followed Jackson into the town and took note of the path they were taking. She scanned the area for any places of note, but mostly kept her eyes to Jackson's back.

Skye kept an eye on the city around them, and on the faces of people around them, occasionally skimming their minds as well.
