Pele looked to him as he answered her question. She had covered her mouth and there was a look in her eyes that showed sadness. Was...she pitying him? That look quickly faded into one of pensive thought. She answered Reynault's question snapping out of her own thoughts, "Oh! Yeah. We'll be hiking the whole way. Sorry, I prefer walking to riding horses..." 

She then mentioned, "If you get tired, I can always wildshape into a horse..." After thinking about her offer for a moment, she spoke up again clearly embarrassed, "No, wait a minute...on second thought, never mind. That's not a good idea,"
