"I am rusty, and a good fight might prepare us for what's ahead." Aldrich seemed to liven up at the thought that there might actually be a fight and they weren't just gonna keep on moving.  He hopped off his horse, and started to walk it next to the group, leading it by it's reigns.  He loosened his sword in its scabbard, letting everyone see a flash of red and gold.  As a smile came to his face he thought to himself, he was gonna enjoy this.
