Preparing to Leave, a first Horse Ride

We rose from our beds early - this time of year the sun rises late anyway, but it was still dark when we began our breakfast.  Elenhugh is keen for us to make the journey to Fornan Bay in one day - which is possible if we don't take the mule and we go by horse.  He's already picked up the smell of money and the chance to sort out a few bandits.  The others are keen, but he's really focussed on the income.  That's not a bad thing.

Mullory and Kenner went out and bought horses yesterday afternoon, before our visit to the bath house, and we've had those made ready by the friendly staff in the inn.  The others seem to have already sold on some of the gear we'd been given as gifts, and the mule has gone too.

I've never ridden on a full size Hznaman horse before, so this will be interesting.  We don't have to run the horses all the way to Fornan, which is a good thing as I have much to learn about controlling it.  We're leaving in just a few minutes, when we finish eating.
