OoC: This should be a short thread. I guess? Who know what'll happen!
"Well, mates, I guess we're on our way then! Adventure awaits! HARHARHAR! That sure sounds corny! HAR!" Kraft was feeling really good since he knew he had an ally and after his beauty sleep.
"Anyway, let's sing some songs! It'll get us there even faster!
I like a pint, you like a pint, we aaaalll like a pint! AND AGAIN!
I like-"
It looked like it was going to be a long day.

Alexia found herself humming along with the drinking song, she just couldn't help it. She looked over at her traveling companions, and realized she didn't know much about any of them. It seemed wrong to be fighting for your life with people you didn't know.... And... "Excuse me, miss," she addressed the troubadour. "I don't believe I caught your name earlier..."

Mae looked over at the armored lady having been checking the surrounding area for anything suspicious. Names...not good.
"Umm...you didn't well I could've sworn that I told you that..." she remembered the black horse eying Silver earlier...so...speaking quiet rapidly and girlie-"What kind of horse is that? Is it one of those really fancy war horses? I've rea- Heard! Heard about those...from my knight. He's always wanted one. What's his name? He's a gorgeous specimen of a horse, beautiful mane, marvelous muscles, and such a strong- Ouch! Silver!" The horse, jealous as any horse would get when their only tolerated human brags about another horse could be, had snapped at Mae's side quite sharply with his front teeth.
"Blood- I-uh-mean naughty horse! You shouldn't bite people. Grr...she smiles at the woman addressing her, misplacing her name. "Horses what to do with 'em?" She laughs gently shaking her head.

'Not that I have anything to do with it...' Sergey joined in on the conversation unwarranted. 'But I'd advise you not disclose where your horse came from to these... people.' he ended uncertainly.

"I seem to have good luck with horses, actually," commented Alexia, though she nodded in Sergey's direction. "Night Flight here is a trained war horse, and was given to me by a grateful village for helping them out. So far he's been stellar in performance. Now, you were going to remind me what your name was?" she looked over at the troubadour, anticipating the response.

She cursed mentally and glanced at the knight riding beside her, and all he gives her is a nonchalant shrug. Stupid, singing, clamoring, clanking, stalking, annoying...
"Oh, did I forget again? Silly me...my name is..." cursing lot more mentally "Mae, yes, Mae. Heh..." What was that man whispering? Oh well, must not be important to me.
"So why exactly are we going to the capitol again?" She smiles her words oozing with chipper lightness.

Kraft stopped singing.
"Gah, yeah, why EXACTLY are we going to the Capitol. It's a brilliant idea of course, I've always wanted to visit the Capitol." He smiled.
Kraft looked forward again and on the horizon he could see a merchant and his guards with a large group of horses. Horses that are supposed to be sold.
But a thief has to do what a thief has to do. So he would wait till the merchant got close enough. A horse would increase their travelling speed dramatically. But first he'd see how Alexia and the others would react...

'If you have any objections to travelling without knowing the purpose then feel free to turn around at all times.' Sergey said loudly.

She blinks she looks at the gruff man. Not knowing? Oh yeah, that's so not happening.
"Why can't we know? We're traveling with you too, it's only common courtesy to tell others in your traveling group as to where you're going and the purpose of such direction. I don't tend on leaving I'd just like to at least know a general reason as to why we're going to the capitol." She tried to make her words sound light and cheery but she was sure that at least half of it came out as her normal snappy, growly self. To make sure to throw off any odd looks...
"Just ,you know...because that way we know the plan too...and can act accordingly if a situation might, you know, come around...I just don't want to get in trouble that's all." She says softly but loud enough to be heard, head down hands fiddling with her braid tail. Please let this work I have to find out what these people are doing...

"Common courtesy? Well, you might have noticed that we aren't exactly common people." Sergey sniggered.

"indeed," agreed marzius. he had his own reasons for returning to the capital. he glanced over at his traveling companions. "it shouldn't take more than a day or two of walking, at the most."

""Or only one day, if we err, 'lend' some horses." Kraft grinned while pointing at the merchant and his guards.
"You know, 'borrowing' some horses can't hurt, eh? Especially since we're doing something for the greater good? Well, I suppose we ARE doing something good, right? HAR HAR HAR!"
Kraft laughed. He was looking forward to slit this merchant his throat and to steal his horses so he could (perhaps) make some good money.
"Anyway. I don't know what you guys think about it, but I'm tired of walking and I'm going to get myself a horse. Anyone wants to join me?"
Kraft had already started walking towards the merchant in the distance.

'Screw it, I'm inn.' Sergey hadn't killed someone since Ostia. He eagerly followed kraft.

"What?!?" She ran in front of the two trying to block them both from the traveling merchant.
"We can't do that! We should...buy them or talk to him. Maybe if he knows we're good people on a great quest he'll give us the horses?" She was scrambling and it probably showed, but she wasn't going to steal.
"We can walk. And Kraft get used to walking or ride Jacques horse or something. He won't mind." She turns to the knight in question. "Will you, Jacques?"
"Yes I indeed do-"
"See he's fine with it. So if you're tired just ask Jacq for a ride." She itched for her weapon but couldn't trust these people quite yet...

Kraft his right eye twitched.
"But we need the horses Mae. It's vital to our quest. Great deeds require great sacrifices. And bes-
"Goodday travellers! What brings you here and who are you? I am Kato, the merchant, Son of Galva! The merchant said. He and his 5 guards (lightly armored. They looked pretty weak). Looked down to Kraft who was just finishing his sentence.
"-ides we... really love to buy some horses?" He grinned and looked back from Sergey to Mae, not knowing what to do.
