63rd of Summer
It was now almost noon. After the hard training session with Ximal earlier that day with Savio, she felt it would be best to have a small nap before going out into Nyka with Garel. She was trying her best to make sure she kept the strider on his toes. He's been acting a little more lazy than normal, but she was sure if she picked at his pride a bit. The Noble stallion would surely come to reason. She now stretched as she stepped over to the side of the bed. Before standing up, however, she glanced over at her bed once more. It was empty aside form her current presence. Again. She was hoping Revy had actually came in to sleep beside her that night. And alas, the woman was absent once more. Sure it was only a small nap, but she could've swore Revy had came in at one point during her rest.
She finally pushed herself to get to her feet and she performed a few stretches. After every rest it was best to do at least a few basic stretches so the body could be more awake. Once she felt reinvigorated, she changed into a regular set of clothes. A simple tan tunic. Some black tights. And the knee high boots that Revy had bought her two days ago from the market. As much as she wanted to train, she wanted to at least take some time to relax. She still felt a bit sore from her training earlier that day and felt some relaxation would do some good for herself. Maybe Revy could join her too! She jeered happily at the thought.
After a few chimes, she strolled outside her room and began glancing around for Revy. If she could at least find the woman, maybe they could at least spend some more time with each other. However, there was no sight of her. Least not at the first glimpse. Why was the woman avoiding her now? They made love and had came to resolve. Or so Sayren thought at least. She parted the grounds with a sigh as she approached the stables. The sound of her footsteps perked the attention of her faithful companion and friend. Followed by his eyes as he pulled his head back from the ground to get a full view of his rider.
Sayren smiled as she greeted Garel with a small kiss on the nose and a warming hug, "Hey boy. How are you today?" He shook his head for a moment and padded his hoof on the ground a few times as he gazed into her eyes. She giggled as she gave him a pat on his cheek, "You don't say? That eventful today huh?" He stepped around to bring his broad side towards her and he motioned for her to get onto his back.
"That excited to go out riding are ya?" He remained silent. Gazing right back into her eyes. To most people, it would've been an awkward silence. But between a Drykas and their Strider. They were communicating. And he was telling her she would end up telling him about it anyways so she might as well just jump on and ride it out. She giggled once again and jumped onto his back. "Sure thing boy. But let's stop by the market first. I want to see how Jasna is doing."
The strider sighed. Flapping his lips as his shoulders shrugged. Sure. After that, she braced against him and the stallion readied for a small trot. Once they were in the clearing, they were in a full sprint towards the city. It was only a few chimes later when they approached the Gates. The guards knew them well enough now that they didn't bother with them too much and allowed them to pass. Sayren smiled as she leaned down to whisper in Garel's ear, "Bout time they left us alone...Figured we'd be hassled for days on."
Without much warning, Garel stopped. His eyes were narrowed down on this woman stood before them. She tilted her head in confusion at the woman, "Hello? Anything I can do for you?" Something was off about her. The woman was wearing a blackened robe with a hood. Not most Nykan women such attire, so that meant she was a foreigner. Not that it was bad in her book considering she was once one herself. But...it was just something about her. It was making Garel anxious and it was obvious. The stallion was bearing down his eyes down on her and lightly tapping his hooves against the street. In hopes of calming him down, "Shh, easy now, I highly doubt she means us harm." She returned her attention to the woman, "You must be new around here. Perhaps I can give you a hand after all?"
