"We'll need horses, though," Elend said. "There's no way we'll make it anywhere on foot."

[~echo~]

Anne nodded, wishing for a moment that they hadn't gotten rid of the horses. She sighed softly and looked at the old woman. The old lady shook her head. "I'm sorry, we only have a pack mule and a pair of oxen. Those we cannot spare, unfortunately."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"We don't have enough money to buy horses, either," Elend said. He pursed his lips. He didn't want to say it--they'd have to steal some.

Anne understood and nodded at him.

(Timeskip?)

Anne, holding a pack full of food and supplies, smiled at the old couple. "Thank you both so much." She then turned and walked out the back door.

Anne kept a lookout but led the way into the woods. "Okay. Where are we headed?"

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Horses, remember?" Elend said.

[~echo~]

"And where do you suppose we find horses?"

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Someone here has got to have one, right?" Elend said. "Either that or a nearby farm."

[~echo~]

"Yes, but the horses at farms are slow." She paused. "And I still don't like the idea of stealing."
