The Mundanes waited outside of the Red Lion as their provisions were being made ready. Stew and Sandy were leaning against the Red Lion, looking nervous. Stew was picking at his face, and Sandy was braiding and unbraiding her hair.

Wendy came around the side of the Red Lion, leading three horses. She came up to Suzuki and handed him the reins of the largest, a brute with a soft red mane. Wendy patted the horse’s snout and fed it a carrot. “These guys’ll serve you well. If you’re going that far east, you need a mount that’s up for the journey. These are three of our finest. They’ll get you to your first checkpoint, and there you’ll find something…more suitable for the terrain. José vouched for you.”

Suzuki looked into the horse’s eyes. They were deep brown and seemed to contain infinity. “We’ll treat them well,” he said.

Sandy and Stew came up, and each took a horse from Wendy. She nodded and walked off, turning only for a moment to watch the Mundanes as if there were something else she wanted to say. Instead, she walked back into the bar.

Suzuki mounted his horse and turned to watch Stew struggle to get onto his. Sandy hopped off hers and gave Stew a boost so that he could get onto the beast. Then she went back and effortlessly leapt onto her horse. She nudged it slightly, and the horse trotted over to Suzuki.

Stew’s followed, causing Stew to lunge forward and grasp the horse’s reins as if his life depended on it.

Sandy pulled the reins of her horse to slow it down and looked out at the sun hanging in its mid-noon comfort. “One more step closer,” she said.

“One more step,” Suzuki said. “Might as well get going and take that step.”

The Mundanes rode out toward the East, leaving the Red Lion behind them. Suzuki did not know what it was that they were going to find in the East; he did not know what could be more dangerous than what they had faced already. All he did know was that they were getting closer to Beth.

That was all that mattered.
