Jeil chuckled. "You'd be surprised at how little the deterring quality of rain turns out to be...anyways," Jeil frowned, asking both Pixie and Rekka, "Anyone knows of a nearby inn? It would save us a lot of trouble, today at least...but I don't know of any along this main road. Judging from the sun, we've about a few more hours till dark, so if anyone has bright ideas, please share them!"<br/><br/>He grinned at Pixie's remark. "Pixie, you're a bit vague there about<em>numbers being even</em>eh? But I don't think you'll have to worry about sorcery from common villains."<br/><br/>"All right, might as well start getting used to a gallop," Jeil told Rekka, "Hang on tight."<br/><br/>Turning to Pixie, Jeil said, "Lets go at an easy gallop, no need to push our horses, since there's no way we'll reach Aaer, the town I told you about before Beira, today. Besides, full out would just be suicide in this goddamn rain..." Once he made sure Rekka was holding on tight, he nudged Rebel into a canter, leaning forward and whispering, "don't over do it there Rebel." He pushed Rebel slightly faster, and soon, Rebel was doing an easy gallop down the road. Jeil turned back, wiping the rain from his eyes. "How're you holding up there Rekka?" Jeil yelled.
