Jalazmar gave his brother a sharp look when Azrin was about to reply to Xyliah’s comment about not riding a good horse in a while. He could just imagine the teasing that would come from Azrin and he wanted to end that before it began. Xyliah was rather innocent still, at least in world views and double entendre. She was rather free with her body now when she was alone with him but he didn’t think she’d catch the way Azrin flirted with the maid and that was oddly endearing to him. He knew it wasn’t something she’d maintain for much longer, especially if Yanzi filled her in later on but Jalazmar was happy to keep her out of it and latched into her innocent question.
“She’ll fit in here nicely then. Someone is always up to something around High Reaches,” he shot his wife a smile, one that said it was likely nothing to worry about. “Last I was here, we had a decent assortment of horses. My nieces and nephews that are still here and not fostered out all learn to ride so we have a vast variety of temperaments as well.” At Azrin’s nod, Jalazmar took that to mean that what he remembered was still correct and he should be able to find the right mount for each of the in personality and riding skill. He himself hadn’t been riding for quite some time either, and even though he believed Azrin’s comment wasn’t entirely innocent, Jalazmar did like the cover up for going for a ride along the trail.
“For now, I think I should show the women to our rooms and perhaps wrangle up an early lunch for us. The time change is leaving me hungry.” Jalazmar finished the rest of his drink and looked over at Xyliah to see how she was doing with her water. He didn’t want to rush her but at the same time he felt getting the women acquainted with their new lodgings for the next little while would be good. Besides, his mother and other brothers would surely pop in soon and Jalazmar was done with family bonding over misery for the time being.
