Lydia looked back over her shoulder, distracting herself from her scanning of the surroundings as Silas spoke, "Bored? With all of this?" she asked, motioning to the surroundings, "How can you be bored with this kinda beauty and so much to see?" she asked...She loved the outdoors and the plains were plenty alive even with the frost. "The weather is off, I agree. Spring should be showing by now, but this is more natural than that jungle was... and I would rather be cold than hot... I can always put on more." She grinned, "But skin is skin; there's nothing more to take off at that point." She grinned mischievously, "Maybe you shouldn't of tried to abuse them last night and they would feel like that."<br/><br/>She would never admit it, but she was misreable in the saddle... she was sore in places she didn't want to think about and while the fact of getting there was great, the after-effects were more problematic. "Just enjoy the ride and pull out a blanket if you're cold... It's a good, crisp morning chill... not more than a little below freezing."<br/><br/>As the hut came into view, her eyes scanned the area and frowned. "This doesn't look good." she said softly to those about her. "I'm going to ride a circuit and look for recent tracks... this place doesn't look like it's been used in weeks."
