Aurelia dismounted shortly after Alice, patting her pegasus gently and stroking the beast's mane. "Rest now, Aquarius, we'll have a long day tomorrow, I think." She whispered, to which he wickered and trotted off to find a place to rest his wings. Aurelia meanwhile, unbuckled her armor, shedding the breastplate and giving herself some breathing room.<br/><br/>"Aurelia of Illestan. My father rules that place, and I had only recently recieved leave to return home. Funny how fate works." She gave a bitter laugh, and then smiled, looking about.<br/><br/>"We're probably safe for the next six or eight hours, but shouldn't tarry this far into enemy territory. Those men who we were fighting, they didn't look like regulars."
