>"Okay. We'll meet up at the Moriya in...I dunno, awhile? Couple hours maybe? However long it'll take you to wrangle up those pegasi?"
>"You're really looking for a pegasus?" your counterpart asks her.
>Celes nods. "I am a Rider, but here, I am separated from the companions who bear me. If I am going to be in this world for some time, I would feel better having a mount." She gives Yoshi a slight nudge with her bootheel. "That isn't an oni." she adds dryly.
>Hatatwin points towards the northeast. "Head east till you hit the border, then east for a couple miles more then turn north. There's a group of pegasi that roost in a craggy stretch of the mountain in that area. But be careful if you're going, they get a bit edgy when strangers come around."
>The Steward gives her a respectful bow. "Thank you for the information." Then she gives you both a tip of her cap, then turns to the kappa behind her. "Coming, Hanayo?"
>The little kappa starts, then her smile returns. "Uh, yes!"
>With a gentle smile, Celes gives you and your counterpart a polite nod, then kicks her heels into her 'mounts' ribs. "Hi-ho, Yoshi! Away!" The pacified oni starts off at a run, Hanayo the kappa flying behind them.
