"I can shadow travel alongside you, make it easy and only need one horse," Ana said.

"If you're not willing to ride the horse with me, that's fine." Troy replied. He wouldn't fault her for not wanting to be that close to someone she barely knows.

"Works for me. To the guard stable, then." Troy stated, heading that way.

Ivan held her tightly as he looked at Megan. "Why dont' you head on ahead. We'll...follow you later. I...I need to be alone with my child. Thank you so much, Megan. You really are worthy of your bloodline"

While Megan cringed at the compliment so still took it none the less and said "And you're a good father. Remember, I'm heading to the Dragon Lands. Okay?"

Ivan nodded "Yes mam. I'll forever be in your debt for this"

Megan let out a nod as Ivan started to stroke Gilly's back in comfort like a loving father as Megan started to make her way towards the Dragon Lands. While not fond of the compliment of Ivan bringing her bloodline into this, she still was proud of herself. Reuniting a father and daughter...was a worthy detour.

Ana paused for a moment. "Are we...stealing the horse?" She whispered.

"It's...it's my fault," Gilly sobbed. "I was fighting, I didn't want to go and they...they killed her."

"Right, I'll uh, wait out here to distract if I need to, then," Ana said.

Ana nodded, giving him a thumbs up as she moved to linger by the door, keeping watch.

As Troy walked in, he noted a single guard dozing at the far end of the stable. He summoned his shield as he walked over, being quiet so as to not wake the man. While the guard was dozing off he bashed him over the head with a loud clanging noise, knocking him out.

Ivan kept her close and rocked her back and forth.

Megan smiled as she moved on and on.

Troy quietly trotted his horse out a moment later, looking to Ana. "That simple." He stated, making sure the horse's saddle was on properly.

Ivan said "I know, I know, but you're okay now. Ms. Clover saved you...that's why I'm going to overlook her carrying you there"

Megan started to slow down, don't want to burn to much energy.
