Reena couldn't help but laugh when she saw Jonny fall off Gandalf. "You aright, hes a big guy so that must have hurt." Big was right, the silvery grey gelding was a percheron, a full scale draft horse of sheer muscle that looked like he was ready to charge into war. Yet he was a gentle giant, she trusted 4 year olds riding the wizard like beast. "Its cause you didn't have your foot all the way in the stirrup, jump a bit he'll stand still for ya."

yet first thing was first, tending to her animals she began to wrap their legs in thick bandages, Gandalf being the slowest and largest target she took his leather padding she had on his driving harness to provide some kind of armour as well as Vader and Epona. "There, its like riding a bike, pull the reins one way they go, pull the other way they will follow, kick to go and pull to stop. If you say follow they will just stick close to the heard."

James on the red coloured mule Azazel simply stared at the sky, baited breath as he began to feel a bit off about the smoke line. "I'll go with you to find your family, not a fighter but Reena would take me hunting so I kinda know how to track. What about you guys?" It was wise to not travel in a mass of numbers, too large of a target that would attract attention and they wouldn't be able to move nearly as fast.

Reena still on the ground stood next to Vader. A hot blooded stallion with a nasty temper. Least thats what they said when they sent him to her under the name Beauty for training. "The smoke is coming from town, might as well go to tomb thumb. And Jonny, you so much as point that gun one one of these folk who still have a good head on their shoulders I will leave you for dead. Don't need to add to the body count if we can help it."
The voice she used had left no room for arguments, yet seeing the girls at the back, eyes wide in worry she realized she didn't have enough animals to take them with. Only animal left was Epona yet the mare could use the rest. "Hold on a sec"
Entering back into the house she mentioned for the rest to follow. "Hold the place down, keep an eye out for anyone showing up. If you think its bad than go here." the place was old, rebuilt several times, opening the door to her own room to show case a computer set up from competitive gaming and gear a convention would kill for she opened a walk in closet. Rummaging through cloths only to reveal the carpet moved to show a celler door. "Hide in there if it gets bad, don't try to run and this will be the first place I look if you aren't in sight, understand?"
Opening up her gun locker she handed a 10mm and a heavy sniper riffle. "Use these only when absolutely necessary, kay."

Moving back outside she found James holding the stallion. With a steady stride the woman practically climbed the towering mount with the ease as if she was jumping into bed. "Listen to James, kid knows who is who. Just keep him safe please." The blond simply rolled his eyes at the words as he turned the mule away. "Come on, theres a few houses around the blockade as well. Maybe they found someone willing to take them in."

Watching them go Reena turned to Jonny, mentioning him to follow. "By the way, if Gandalf won't go down that way, don't force him. Horses know when a predator is around before you do." Clicking her toung she asked Vader to go forward, the animal giving a few bucks and thrashing his head at the amount of fabric draped over his hide. "Yeah, yeah, you'll thank me for it later you little shit."

Taking him down the trails the red head found herself looking over her shoulder. "So, Jonny right, been saying your name correctly? What did you do before this all happened? Kinda wanna know who has my back." Her ears keen for gun fire she seemed rather relaxed in the saddle, ducking from the low hanging branches she began to lead them off the main trails into the woods and away from the public paths. Still with the smoke overhanging in mind.
