For a long time Victoria just stared at the odd carriage, the weird horses, and the strange girl in armor trying to process what she was seeing and coming up blank.  When she found herself staring at the back of the carriage however she decided that she didn't even care any more what was going on.  She might not meet anyone else on a dirt road for a while.  She started running after the vehicle and called out "Oh please stop.  Can I please hitch a ride into town?  I'm lost!"  She felt so stupid running alongside the carriage asking such a ridiculous person an even more ridiculous question.
