(Is it night time??!!)
Ren nodded, "we must be quick, i fear we don't have much time" she said with a worried look at the princes. the led Tavin to a shadowed ally and dropped his reins, trusting him to care for his precious cargo as well as she would. Ren moved quietly but swiftly towards the makeshift stable that held the unnamed horses. she pitied them, having no true rider they must feel so lost. when she reached the otter wall she peaked through a knot hole in the wood. the animals stirred, they sensed her presence. she took a breath as she skirted the one sided building, when she was nearly at the corner she paused to see if Alex had chosen to follow.

((No, more like creeping towards evening....the king and Luka are in an underground tunnel X3))

The king smiled his cruel smirk "Oh, dearest Luka." He shook his head "Then I suppose we will fight if that is what you want." he said lazily. Suddenly light footsteps echoed down the tunnel "Your majesty. The clothes you give you're men irritate my skin. Do you ever think about giving them more pay? I would, especially because of the fact that all twenty of your men have been killed by one little assassin, not even in her element." Ysmay's lazy drawl echoed down the hallway as she appeared beside Luka, a blood-soaked sword in her hands, looking a bit out of place.

Alexia nodded and followed after Ren, her footsteps soft, hesitantly she walked past Ren, slipping around the corner and dissappearing into the stables.

Ren silently followed just incase, she knew that Alex would need to pick her new steed, but more importantly the horse had to pick her, it was how it had worked with Tavin and her, and her father and his horse Learem. The stable smelt of grass hay and dust. horses peaked their long faces out of their small enclosures and watched them attentively, she quickly noticed that a few bore the scars of past war horses, star shaped grey skin where hair would not grow from arrow heads, long lines of hair that grew in misdirection from the blades of warlords, to her it was a shame, what fine and noble creatures were that of the war horses, they charged willingly into battle just to be discarded to a place like this, she couldn't imagine Tavin in such a place, it sickened her, even the thought of someone else riding him set her heart to fire.

[The Logical Rattie]

Alexia moved down the stalls, tentatively brushing her fingers over the soft part of each horse's muzzle, some nipped at her, some jerked from her touch or just plainly ignored her. Alexia hovered at a little black mare, focusing quite intently on her when a large white and grey blur snapped at the mare, making the horse squeal and back away. Alex jumped back to avoid getting bitten and her fingers squashed and turned her startled eyes to the big white spotted grey gelding, his nostrils flaring as if he had been insulted. He was a clear warhorse, marked by his skin mottled with dark grey scars and the proud arch of his neck. Alexia realized that the gelding must be part draft because of his extremely large size. He frightened Alexia but she found herself moving towards the dangerous beauty. "I'm sorry, Did I hurt your pride, Master horse?" She murmured tentatively stroking his pink nose. The horse huffed out a breath and nudged the lock on his stall door. Alexia stared at him and suddenly unlocked the stall door "Ren, could you find me something to tack him up with?" She asked, her voice dream-like.

[Inupait]

Ren grinned at the sight of the two, it was like reliving her first meeting with gavin, he had been nothing more then a spindly foal. tottering on his newly discovered legs, curiously peeking out from behind his mothers strong sturdy legs. even from that moment she had known she wanted him, more then anything else, and he seemed to think the same. Ren moved away to find some tack, not far away along the side of the stable she found the collection of tack. she chose one that she hoped would fit Alex comfortably and a bridle that matched and carried it back. when she approached them again she paused "You must give him a name, every great horse has a great name" she said in a whisper, studying the large gelding.

Luka

Luka pulled out his sword and took a ready fighting position. Right then he heard the shuffling of feet and a angelic voice. He honestly couldn't decided what made him angrier, the king or her. Luke growled and rolled his eyes when stood beside him. "Why aren't you gone?" He tried not to shout at her but couldn't help keep his voice from being a little louder then talking. He almost forgot Fredrick standing ready to kill Luka infront of him. He had had a plan; Ysmay would be captured, he would be taken prisoner, she would live happily, he would die honorably, and finally she would take care of his slaves. But of course it would be like her to ruin his plan. A thought came to him for a second of that maybe he should of actually told her. But he didn't really realize it till now.

[.:Moon Shadows:.]

The king and his men moved forward a few more steps before suddenly the sound of screams and fighting echoed down the hall. The king and his men whipped around "They are... being attacked?" and suddenly the soldiers rushed off. The king turned around and looked at Luka "If you want to prove your loyalty, fight for me." He ordered, coldly.

Blake nodded and ducked to pull Olvier's other arm over his soldier "To the stables. We have to go to the other town and seek the princess there. We must hurry. I have several horses packed and ready." he said, suddenly sounding older than his normal, childish self.

Alexia's gaze slid to the barn that rents horses out "Or. We could borrow one." The girl muttered a bit shyly, of course suggesting they steal a horse.

A N I Y A nodded and looked at Blake before motioning for him to lead the way, careful to keep a hand over Oliver's shoulder so as not to disturbe his injury, that was no longer bleeding as heavily. She was unsure of whether or not she was worried about the Princess's safety or Oliver's safety. Foccus. The fact that the Princess got away is vital right now. Worry about her for a change Aniya scolded herself but she had to look back down at Oliver and sigh.

[The Logical Rattie]

Ysmay glared at Luka "Don't scold me like a child. You really didn't think I'd run when the king appeared, did you?" She asked airily, though in a moment her eyes snapped to the king "Hello, cousin." She said dryly and the king chuckled "I wasn't expecting to get you until the day of my ball." He sighed and lifted his sword "Would you like to dance then, Lady Rowantree?" He asked, his eyes flicking to Luka "Or. Luka. If you grab her both you and she could keep your lives. I merely want the use of her against the dear princess, and its clear that she has swayed your loyalty." the king said dryly.

Alexia smiled bright "Abrax, Rax for short." She murmured softly, her eyes bright. Abrax had shoved open the stall door and was curently snuffling Alexia's short blonde hair diligently. He snorted and stomped as Renna came forward, pushing against Alex before stepping in front of her with a snort "Easy." Alexia breathed, moving to place her hands on his cheeks "I don't know how to saddle a horse... could you show me?"

Black nodded and led teh way towards the stables. It looked like everyone was either dead, dying or had left. Soon they were at the stables and five horses, two packed with supplies and the other three ready for riders. One already had two wounded men on it. "Do you think you can support Oliver on the horse as we ride or do I need to strap him to the third horse?" He asked blandly.

[.:Moon Shadows:.]

A N I Y A rolled her eyes and then sighed, "Just help me get him onto my horse," she told Blake simply, choosing one of the saddled and studier mounts quickly, the horse snorting in her face, "and I'll take it from there. He's too hurt to be strapped to a horse like an animal." Aniya finished, looking at Oliver and then brushing his hair from his eyes moved her hand off his wound to inspect it properly again.

[Inupait]

Ren watched the gelding, although he didn't hold the sear beauty of Tavin he was a fine horse. "What a handsome name" she murmured to herself with a kind smile. "i'll help you if he will let me" she laughed at his already seemingly protective tendencies towards Alex. "A horse like this would never fall in battle" she grinned "a true Destrier even as a gelding" she quietly moved towards horse and rider. attentive of Abrax's ears and eyes. she came to stand next to Alex, she laid a pad over the horse back and gently placed the saddle onto his withers. "You want to make sure it is fairly far forward so that the saddle docent slide and cause him to buck" she said, stroking Abrax's shoulder. she cautiously reached under his chest and grabbed the cinch, shooing Alex how to slowly tighten it so it was comfortable for the horse. she took great care with these kind of things. When the saddle was properly fitted and fastened she slipped the bit into the geldings mouth and the band over his ears. then absently passed Alex the reins.
