Tyaethe
Off to Brennan, then, to see if some lesser member of royalty was mad for mundane reasons or... was it the work of something nefarious? A connection to the missing shards? The reports hadn't suggested violence, so that seemed unlikely to her, but it was the captain's prerogative to go looking in the first place.
For the vampire, after getting away from the embarrassment that was the previous night, the journey mostly seemed like an excuse to go on a trip to the forest, and to let one of the horses stretch its legs.
But which one? That was a pretty big question. It wasn't like her vhoice was among the steeds provided for those knights that hadn't the means or inclination to provide their own before this point; it was one of those few things Tyaethe had much cause or desire to spent money on.
If it was just to be a trip up to Brennan and back, then really, she should've just brought Mira, she was such a gentle one and the best actual riding horse to boot, but a palfrey wasn't for combat. It would be a pain to take two along just in case, and as a rider she was such a slight burden that maybe she should consider one of the all-rounders...
But the true war horses were sadly neglected; Tyaethe didn't think much to use them, or anything more than ponies for short journeys. Daisy especially, he never got as much exercise as one of his breeding deserved. Hmm, she'd have to warn anyone who might have to work with him to be careful, he was quite temperamental for anybody else...
Right, Daisy it would be. And really, what was the point of having a white destrier if it never saw the light of day?
Hmm.
Maybe this had been a bad choice? Well, she'd been more uncomfortable before, and even after two days she wasn't regretting the choice. She just hoped Brennan's stablehands were up to the task ahead; Tyaethe didn't think she could get out of the reason for their journey claiming that she needed to look after her horse, no matter how true it was.
