Putting the finishing touches on her packs she settled them neatly onto Sitka. Giving the mare a quick pat she moved on to Sebastian.  Sloane picked out his feet and brushed him thoroughly before settling the tack on him. Her saddle was buffed and polished with the slight indents for her concealed knives hidden. Closing the top door so no one could peak in she changed into a dark green pant and suit that hugged her curves and flared out in the legs to mimic a dress. Her long auburn hair was held in a high top knot that winded down to her waist. Strapping her Shanzi and sword onto her saddle she secured it before checking her appearance. A tight white bodice with green lacing huge her curves over which went a green fitted jacket. Her riding boots were polished and and her pants, a dark green would not show dirt so well.  Checking the time she smiled. It was 9;30 and it would take her twenty minutes to reach the back courtyard if she let her horses walk. 
	Mounting Sebastian she squeezed his side gently and pushed him forward with Sitka following behind her. Keeping a fast trot pace they reached the courtyard in 10 minutes and her ladyship was not there yet.  Sloane glanced over, to her left stood the guard who had helped her the day before. Giving him a kind smile she looked at his horse. The stallion was well taken care of and his dapple grey coat gleamed.
