Keith grinned back. "I would love to ride a bit Nora. One of the few lessons I really took to heart back at the castle. Galloping is the closest one gets to flying" Keith looked for a stableboy to see if there was a horse he could ride. Quickly they saddled one for him and Keith mounted the horse quickly. It was unfortunate that he didn't have his own horse with him. "I should have brought my own horse." Keith sighed. "But father was worried I wouldn't show up so he sent me in the carriage." Keith looked around to see which path seemed best to ride.

Duncan gave a slight nod in acknowledgement of her words. He thought that she had a very cute blush. "You were retreating to rest before dinner as well?" Duncan asked Madeline. He added to a mental checklist to check up on the dining room to see if it was safe for everyone. He would need to send someone to inquire with the cooks and see that the seating on the table was set up properly. Even though that wasn't in his usual line of work he made an exception for the first evening with all the suitors ahead. They had to be sure everything was safe for everyone.
