I cannot speak for this strange knight here, but Indigo would have little use for a horse, and I travel on foot unless the need it great. If you can delay our leaving until I have had some food and rest then I will be able to provide transportation for all of us. I cannot vouch for comfort, however!" She smiles weakly at this, the strain of her fatigue becoming more apparent as time wears on. "If you do not wish to wait, however, I am sure that I can convince Littlefair to trade part of my room payment for a few steeds, but that does not aid us in carrying Indigo." Her head seems to gain weight as time wears on, until she sits at the table cradling her head between her hands with her eyes closed. After a moment she shakes her head and looks up. "Excuse me, I seem to be having trouble keeping my eyes open." ----- Master Hawk Leader of the Night Parade "And it shall come to pass that what men made shall be shattered, and the Shadow shall lie across the Pattern of the Age, and the Dark One shall once more lay his hand upon the world of man." -from The Karaethon Cycle: The Prophecies of the Dragon.
