After you, My Lady

Briar easily agreed, and the pair split up. The Queen to grab a few more supplies, and Mercury to grab the cart. The foxes found him before he arrived, and it took little coaxing to harness the two of them. He laughed at their boundless energy, and kept a careful eye to ensure the young creatures didn’t decide to go careening off with the Queens cart.

He found her in the courtyard, and by the time they arrived the foxes had gotten the hang of pulling it. If the shine wore off, he would take over. But until then, they would happily pull it. He grinned at Briar as she spoke. “These two rascals are in training, and it’ll do them good.” he gave Talis a fond rub on the head on his way past him. “Here, let me grab that My Lady” He said, reaching for the bag she held. “So, we are heading to the cathedral for the day, right?”
