"You better hurry it up before Acorn and I just leave you behind," she laughs.

She'll suss something out but one doubts it'll be secrets. Probably terrible jokes or puns, definitely puns anyway. Either way, whenever Avery does show up at the stables instead of running away like a sane person, Ciri will be patiently waiting with Kelpie. The black mare is already ready to go, digging her hoof into the ground and snorting out breathes of cold air.

Nearby though is the fondly named Acorn, reigns currently held in Ciri's hand as the other adjusts the thick knitted scarf securely around her face.

"About time." She shouts, voice partly muffled but still easy to tell that she is grinning somewhere behind it.

Avery pauses briefly to narrow her eyes, before continuing her approach, huffing out, "You are far too excited about errands, by the by."

Acorn at least gets a warmer reception, as Avery heads first to her muzzle, to share a small bit of carrot and a pet on the nose. If Ciri would stop all this tomfoolery and ask politely, maybe she could get this sort of treatment someday too, hm? Did she ever think about that?

"It means I get away for this fortress so it leads to a bit of excitement."

Camp can only be so interesting. Still, Ciri watches quietly before shooting a Kelpie a look as the mare glances back with a huff. The last thing she needs is her horse judging her too because maybe she has thought about it? Well, probably. Definitely.

"I knew you two would get along," she murmurs. "Good, Acorn needs someone to ride her every once and awhile so she doesn't get all riled up stuck in the stables."

When it came to horses, at least there is some truth to her nature. A moment passes in silence before she reaches out with the reigns, offering them to Avery before pulling herself back upright in her saddle.

Taking the reins, Avery gives the saddle one last, little check before pulling herself up onto it with a grunt and commenting in a totally casual way, "Suppose I could do that." What a favor she is doing for Ciri here.

"And the girl I room with needs to learn how to ride, rifter and all that. Might not be a terrible idea to introduce them as well."
