Gunner wasn't too sure what she had against Ballacea. Did Dryads and Horses have some kind of long-standing rivalry that he didn't know about? He felt like he would have been taught something like that in the academy. Of course, that implied he ever paid much attention in school, which he didn't. Valentine was extremely talented at daydreaming, but only when he shouldn't be.
For her part, the large brown horse beneath them had been as gentle as can be with the obviously terrified creature. The heat of her body pressed tightly against his back as they rode told him that no amount of comforting was going to make this any easier for her to acclimate to, he only hoped that she could dry her tears before they reached the village now growing on the horizon, the smoke and sounds of civilization filling the air wasn't likely to calm her though, if last night was any indication.
Oh well, she could just cling to him then. If Gunner was being honest, he didn't mind it a bit...
Before long, Gunner's horse was slowing her gait as they finally passed under the small wooden archway that made for a gate. This wasn't Valentine's first foray into this small village, Yoresun he believed it was called. It was mainly a spot for merchants to shack up for the night on their way down the path to the bigger settlements of Falwood, namely the Elven Fal'Addas. Its spot on the way made it a prime location for smaller shops selling basic goods to capitalize on the traffic, however, and Yoresun had become a rather nifty spot for affordable goods.
It was the tailor that Gunner guided them to first, but he had a hunch that it wouldn't be so simple as walking in and having her try on outfits. She was still trembling against his back in fear, and one of Gunner's hands left the reigns to move to one of her own, resting against it comfortingly as they stopped in front of the gaudily colored building, bright lavender walls that stood out against the wooden and stone hues of the rest of the town. None of the people on the main road that went through the center of town, mostly humans and elves, hadn't paid them any mind, and that was fine by him.
Sliding a leg over the side and dropping to the ground, he turned and beckoned her off of his horse. She didn't like civilization, but he'd bet she wanted to be off of the horse even more.
There was a skinny, prim and proper dressed human standing in the doorway watching them, purple vest and frilly laces at his cuffs. Gunner loathed the tailor's fashion sense, but then they didn't have to listen to his opinion, and some of his wares weren't half bad.
