Embarrassed Alya dropped her head. She had failed to notice that the man hadn't been riding his own steed. "Oh erm no need for that. I can walk.Edwina should probably ride if you don't mind Hugh." She'd had a horse beneath her since she was scarcely a year old. Walking always did feel a little awkward, but nothing she couldn't deal with. 

Edwina's eyes lit up at the mention of adventure. She and Alya exchanged glances. "As long as you are careful not to have any more near death experiences on my watch we can go. I certainly wont let you go alone anyways." A far gone memory crept into her mind. She quickly stuffed the thought back in the cage she had long ago built for it.
