We could have taken a ride in the royal forest, but I needed to get away from the palace and all association with it, and just be with someone who understood me. Even if things with Mairin were a little strange, I had faith that it would work itself out.
We passed under the City's gates, and I grinned to Maire before kicking my mount to a gallop.

There wasn't much conversation between Ferris and I as we made our way out of the city, and for this I was grateful. I wasn't even sure what I would say to him once we were on the other side of the gates, but at least that was then and this was now.
As we exited the city he looked to me and I looked back before he pressed his mount forward and took off like a rabbit. I had to chuckle, his spirit was too infectious to not follow along and I did much the same thing; my mare springing into action. I didn't run my horse as quickly as he did his but I maintained a steady pace, enough that I kept sight of him; following him where ever he may be headed.

By the Boar it felt good to have the wind in my air rushing past me. It seemed impossible to get a good breeze in the City. We rode until the smell of the capital was gone, and then I slowed for Mairin to catch up.

When Ferris finally slowed, it didn't take much to catch up to him, but when I did I couldn't help but feel the freedom of being out of the palace and I was able to force myself to relax and act normally. "Feel better?" I asked with a little smile once I had reached him.

"Much," I replied, then grinned. "How do those people stand the smell of that place?"

I chuckled softly as I looked at him. "Most of them have never been to Alba." I teased with another laugh. But I glanced to the city walls before looking back at Ferris. "Honestly, I don't mind it. Its a nice change of pace." I said smiling.

My grin turned into a soft smile at her response. "Truly? I'm glad you're enjoying it," I said, honestly. Maire's happiness meant a great deal to me.

I smiled gently and nodded. "It makes me realize how much of my D'Angeline side I've been forgeting." I added as I looked at him. "I've been thinking that I should spend at least few years here." I continued and chuckled softly.

I hadn't considered the possibility that she might not return to Alba with me. But it made sense now that she brought it up for her to explore her heritage.
"If that's what you want, then of course." I replied with a nod. It wasn't what I wanted to say, but it was what she needed me to say. "Just don't stay forever, I'd miss you too much," I added with a little smile.

I smiled gently to Ferris and nodded. "I think Deci will be happy to have me around though; seems like he misses Alba pretty dearly. Though I dare say he seems to be enjoying himself here never the less."

"Your brother would enjoy himself anywhere. He likes to laugh," I commented. By the Boar it felt good to breath fresh air, to speak Cruithne, to not have to watch every word that left my mouth. And it was definitely nice to be with Mairin without Fin breathing down our necks.

I laughed softly at that. "He does indeed." I replied as I looked down at the pommel of my saddle, my fingers toying with the hairs at my mount's withers. "Its a good trait." I added as I looked up to the sky, my eyes narrowing to slits with the increase of sun light as I watched the clouds. "Winters coming, what do you think it will be like?" I asked, looking to Ferris once more.

"Honestly? I haven't known really what to expect from the trip from day one," I admitted, looking at her to find her looking back.

I nodded in understanding. "I hope its pleasant." I simply replied. "I here a lot of D'Angelines stay in the City during the winter; I imagine that means it will be even more crowded." I chuckled at that, knowing he wouldn't exactly enjoy that.

"Don't laugh cruel woman," I told her off, but I was grinning. "I have a tough time even in Bryn Gorrydum during the winter."

I chuckled softly. "Forgive me." I replied with a smile. "I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself despite all the people." I shrugged.

"I hope so. I hope you do too. Doubtless I'll have to beat off hordes of your suitors with clubs," I teased her.

I didn't know what to say to him, especially since it was he that I wanted to be my suitor; I simply nodded. "Yes.. well I'm not here to find a suitor am I." I replied and gave him a weak smile then pressed my heels to my mount so that she moved into a trot, then into a canter, taking us further away from the city walls.
