Within an hour, he and Lara had arranged a neat pile next to the door. They had clothing, a few tools, and some dried food.

“Next, we need the horses,” Vincent said.

“Right. Lead the way,” Lara said.

“We’ll be back with the horses!” Vincent shouted. Weyland waved and returned to his book. Vincent opened the door, waited for Lara to leave, and followed close behind.

“Just up here,” Vincent said. He pointed to a set of buildings at the end of the road. As they approached a man stepped out.

“Ho there! Here for the horses?” he said.

“Yes.”

“They’re ready to go. Come with me,” the man said. He led them into the stables. Three horses were ready and saddled up. Two were brown and one was black. Vincent walked past, patting each one.

“You didn’t waste any time,” he said.

“I was informed that time was of the essence.”

“Absolutely. Thank you for your help. Let’s go Lara,” Vincent said. He mounted the horse and looked around.

“Don’t worry, here’s a lead. They’re used to working together,” the man said. Vincent accepted the lead and nudged his horse forward. The other brown one followed closely. Lara wasn’t far behind on the black horse.

Vincent took his time, navigating back to the street and taking care on the road. The horses seemed calm, which was reassuring. They would all be tested soon enough. They tied the horses up outside the store, and methodically packed as much as possible. Vincent donned his cold weather gear and stepped back to check it all.

“Looks good, you wear it well,” Lara said.

“Thanks. I’m curious to know how much mobility we get with this.”

“Enough. It would be harder without it if the cold gets much worse.”

“Very true. Suit up and we can join the others,” Vincent said. Lara threw on the extra layers, and helped Vincent pack the leftover gear. They took their time trotting down the street, not in a hurry. It was more important to build trust with the horses and not lose anything in the process.

Vincent tied up the horses outside Beatrix’s house, and they knocked on the door.

“Who is it?”

“Vincent.” The door opened promptly and Beatrix looked them over.

“You look ready. Come in.”

“The real question is, are they ready?” Vincent said. He stepped inside and strode directly into the other room. He saw Alrion and Alyx seated together on the couch.

“Ready to ride?” Vincent said.

“Not sure really. But we can try,” Alyx said.

“I should be fine,” Alrion said. He reached out and touched his leg.

“Eat and prepare yourselves properly. You can leave anytime today that suits,” Beatrix said.

“Especially the eat part. The food we are taking with us isn’t exactly gourmet,” Lara said. Alrion laughed.

“Sure, I’ll stock up,” he said, patting his belly.
