As the armored blind knight began answering Sorren's question regarding the [i]How's[/i] of their plan, Sparhawk's words just went straight through one ear and right out the other about halfway through his monologue. Mira was listening, sure, but the woman stood rigid and uncomprehending. Her attention was currently acutely attuned onto the horse which her old acquaintance had spared a perfunctory mention while he briefly explained that [i]it[/i] -along with two more for herself and Sorren- would be their main method of transportation for this quest. Some of the soldiers were leaving now which gave her an unwarranted and [i]very[/i] clear view of said equine. A chill ran up the woman's spine just at the mention of such a heinous creature. Now, not many things could scare Mira but horses were their own thing and damn would she argue about that. Unfortunately, Mira had no idea why she was so terrified of these overall-harmless beings so it wasn't like she could just conquer that specific issue and get on with it. Horses are scary. Period.

With a mocking salute to the men she perched the rodent on her shoulder and spun on her heel, leaving them to their business.
