Lauralye stared at Robert in shock as he told her that the Pegasus was her's. She then looked to Shadow and touched his nose, "Thank you," She said quietly although she wasn't sure if she was thanking the steed or Robert. She looked at the saddle that Robert had placed on for her and adjusted the stirrups to fit her. Then she walked around the side of Shadow and carefully lifted herself onto him, not used to climbing on a horse with wings. When she was comfortably seated Shadow flapped his wings and the two of them moved out of the barn. When the knights that Robert had gathered were ready they joined her and surrounded the two of them in a circle. There was no angle that anyone could get to her without meeting resistance. She looked at Robert and held out her hand to him, silently asking him to come to her. 

When he did she took his hand and leaned down to kiss his cheek, "I know this isn't your fight... But... Thank you."
