The decision was earth shattering to Alana. For just a moment she thought about attacking Duncan and running, however that would only make things worse for everyone. She didn't like the King's order in the slightest but she'd obey. From what she had heard, nobody else liked this very much either. It was just something they had to suck up and deal with.<br/><br/>With the reality that she'd be wed to someone she hardly knew right in front of her, she decided to finally take the time to look Duncan over. Alana was thankful he was handsome at least. He appeared strong, yet not in the same way the farm men were. No, his body seemed to be built like a warrior, and not a farmer. As much as she hated to admit it, that intrigued her, just a bit.<br/><br/>At Cirus' words, Arabela went into the house to change and then prepare sleeping arrangements. Alana, on the other hand, turned her glaring eyes to her father. She wasn't really angry with him, she was just a bit angry at the situation. "Yes, Father," she said.<br/><br/>She was just about to do as she was told, when Duncan started speaking. Alana's hard face softened at the sight of the mare. She absolutely loved animals in general, but she had a particular love for horses and dogs. When the reins were handed off to her, she held her hand out for Flower to sniff and rub against while sending a glance in Duncan's direction. "Flower is a fitting name, she's beautiful. Thank ye, Duncan," Alana said with a small dip of her head.<br/><br/>She lead Flower forward a bit and turned back to look at the McCloud men. "If you're ready to see the barn now, feel free to follow," she said before starting forward with the horse.<br/><br/>Alana didn't speak on the way to the barn, simply because she didn't know what to say. Once they reached the brown structure, she handed the reins back to Duncan so she could use both hands to slide open the heavy door. The inside of the barn was spacious with many stalls for horses, though only one horse was inside. Alana lead Flower to one of the free stalls. "If ye need any help with your horses, let me know," she called to the men.
