"Alright then, time is wasting the longer we sit here. Time to saddle up." Lumin stated, hoisting herself up onto one of the horses. "If you're ready Cora, we're heading north to the capital." Galahin nodded to the both of them, "I'm praying that the two of you are able to do what you need to do." Lumin nodded to the man, but was a bit caught up, when she was in school, there'd been one day that the students had earned to ride horses, and she'd been pretty good at it. But, it had been a while. She moved her hands over the reins, tapped the stirrups with her feet, and petted the horse's soft mane. It would be touch and go at the very least, she was counting on nothing but muscle memory. "You good with horses, Cora?" She asked, looking back at the other girl. Beyond the corner of her eye, she could physically see her hands, looking more rough and cracked than before. She nearly risked an alarmed cry, instead pulling at her sleeves with an annoyed huff, face shifting momentarily into a harsh grimace.
Immediately recovering, Lumin looked towards the edge of the village, having a better look from the vantage point of the back of a horse. There were forest, to the east of there, the lake that they'd run into, to the west more forest and another village. To the south there was the large ocean, actually named Ocean Largo, and the north were the winding forest paths that led to the capital city. She had a map, but honestly, map-reading was a lot more difficult than it's portrayed in the games. Ah, that's the first thing she had to stop doing. She'd been walking around, assuming that because of the likeness of the situation, it was similar to her video-games, but if she kept that up, she would get them both killed. It would take a good long while to break the habit, but she needed to ground herself on the fact that this was fast becoming the new reality. There was no doubt about that, the sooner she got that in her head, the better.
