“What are we even supposed to do?” Nina said aloud. “I know my way around horses,” Leoni offered. Adrik rolled his eyes. “Here we go.” “It will ingratiate us with the locals,” insisted Leoni, already pushing through the trees. “We could use some soldier friends.” “Soldier friends?” Nina asked incredulously. “Come on,” said Adrik. “If we leave Leoni to her own devices, she may invite them to a slumber party.”
