"Oops, I mean<span style="font-style: italic">her</span>" she corrected as she did as he instructed.   Nerezza seemed to meet her halfway though and Aria felt the horse's nose press to her hand.  A smile escaped her lips along with a laugh as the feeling tickled her palm.  She stepped closer to the horse and pet her just as Alexander had and got a positive reponse.  It was always exciting to see new animals like this.  A lot of horses were traded or moved from stable to stable around the city so she never really learned anything about the specific horses she got to ride.  But knowing that these belonged to her dear friend meant that she could try to befriend Reaper and Nerezza.<br/><br/>When Alexander asked where his bags were, Aria looked around the stable but saw no traces of any bags accept the bags used for the grain feed for the horses.  She let go of Nerezza as she noticed a stable boy.  "I don't see it but I'll see if the stable hand took it somewhere" she said.  She noticed that his pale blond hair was falling in front of his face.  She laughed with a smile as she moved it away back to it's normal position.  She moved it as gently as she could.  Aria remembered that happening to Xander a lot when they would play too.  When she would move it away as a kid, it never seemed like a big deal.  Now that she was doing it as an adult though, she felt her cheeks turn a light shade of red being so close to his face.<br/><br/>The flustered princess retracted her hand and smiled as she exited away to talk to the young man who was by the entrance.  Aria quickly discovered the bags in a small pile by some stacks of hay.  Rushing back to Xander with the bags in hand, Aria handed it to him with a smile.  "Found them~".
