Follows behind Luin waiting.

Isteleth menouvered Sirith over to her cousin, she then sat quietly in the saddle waiting.

Darrell took the halter from Lithoniel and watched her walk off.
"well", he said, stroking Thalion's nose,"I guess now is the time, there's no point in me trying to hide it, it will be obvious when I try to mount you, come on, the sooner i do it the sooner its over with"
He led Thalion into the courtyard, most of the others were there.
"oh joy" he muttered to himself and began.

Lithoniel's ears were sharp and she heard Darrell's muttered words and wondered what was wrong, so she telepathically read his thoughts and understandingly spoke to him in his mind Do not make yourself uneasy. There will be time to learn, and no one here will judge you. If you wish I will have Arthion wait with you while we go ahead with the others. then he can show you how to mount and a few basics. No one would know She spoke to Arthion about it in his head and he nodded in agreement. Then both looked at Darrell for confirmation.

Luinnar heard Darrell also but did not comment on it. Her and her men swung up on their horses and waited for all the others to be ready.

If you would I would be greatful he thought, feeling slightly better but wont the others find it odd that i am not going with them straight away?

Isteleth couldn't help over hearing what Darrel was saying with her cousin.
Darrel i will stay behind with you, i will say that you are to help me with lets say my pack, i will say i have lost it and i need help to find it, and you will Volunteer to help me find it and the others would go on! nodd once for yes and twice for no she said telepathicly to him, though her focus was on her cousin.

Isteleth then started to rumage through her pack as if to find somthing.
"Oh dear, it seems as if i have picked the wrong pack up, i seemed to have picked up my sewing pack!" she then lifted it up off her mare Sirith and opened it to show her cousin.
"I will back in minuets with the right pack, cousin" she said swiftly to her, she then turned round and walked into the building, she walked to her room and dropped off the sewing pack, then walked swiftly back to the courtyard.
She then pretended to be breathless, and half ran up to her cousin.
"Lithoniel it's seems as if my pack has gone missing, if you wish you may go on ahead i can catch you up" she then waited for Darrel to ctach up with what she was doing.

"Of course Cousin, that would be fine.. umm.. If someone were to help you, then it would take less time. Darrell, would you be so kind as to help Lady Isteleth find her pack so that she may ride quickly to Gondor? " Lithoniel said catching on. "The rest of us will ride out now, and you can join us later." Then she mounted her horse, waited for everyone else save Isteleth and Darrell to do the same and they rode out of Rivendell.

Darrell breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the company ride out of Rivendell.
"My thanks to you Lady, your quick thinking saved me an embarrasment I am glad to have missed. Now I hope I am a quick learner, if it takes me very long to learn to ride it will lead to awkward questions when I rejoin with the rest of the group". He turned to Arthion " If you are ready my lord, I think the sooner I learn to ride the better"

Isteleth smiled
"Your welcome, i remember my first time riding, but i'm sure you will be a wonderfull" she replied, she then walked up to the front door and went in and then came back out carrying her pack, she placed it on her mare, then mounted and waited.

Luinnar turned her horse and the men behind her followed. "Meet me at the Hoarwell....We'll stop there and gather the rest of my men, which will give everyone time to catch up to us...." With a yell she urged her horse into a gallop and rode out through the gates, followed, of course, by her first mates.

Halia looks back at the ones staying behind then mounts and follows, a little ways down the road she sighs and remembers she left her hunting knife on the rocks where she had slept the night before. Turning back she urged Elaria into a gallop and arriving back in Rivendell she quickly dismounts and walks over to the rocks. She sees her knife and walks over to it and ties it back around her waist on her knife belt, then seeing somthing shining in the moss covering a large rock she bends down to see what it is. Halia pushed the moss away and gasps, quickly looking around to make sure no one heard her she picks up a silver pendant of a a dragon wrapped around a large flower. With trembling hands she fingers it carefully then quickly slippes it in her shoulder bag and mountes Elaria who walks on untill urged into a fast gallop. As she rides on Halia thinks How did it......Why... She quickly silenced her disturbing thoughts as she nears the company riding ahead and settling into a steady pace to keep up with the others she tries to think of all else but the pendant jingling quietly against her smaller knife and other things in her shoulder bag.

Luinnar urges her horse on, her and her men outdistancing the others so that they can make it to the Hoarwell before them and have her men ready.

Darrell hadn't found riding nearly as hard as he had expected, both Arthion and Thalion, the horse, had been extremely tolerant with him and he was progressing well. He could now mount and dismount with relative ease, get the horse to go forward, stop and turn either way but there was still much to learn. He was taking a break when he saw Halia ride back in through the gates. Keeping himself out of sight he watched her go over to some rocks and pick up her knife and then something else he could not see clearly. Frowning slightly he turned and went back to his horse riding activities.

Jaden, riding along in the back noticed Halia as she road back up with the rest of the group. At the time he thought nothing of it.

He carried on with the rest allong the path.
