[After barely surviving the heat wave, the temperature has gone back to normal and Alexis has decided that it's ok to venture outside again. She had been thwarted from riding horses on the day of the ballpit incident and then during the unbearable heat, but now nothing is standing in her way. She hopes.
She makes it down to the stables without a problem. So far so good. In the stable she's able to pick out one of the castle's unclaimed horses, a chestnut mare. Alexis pats her neck as she tries to get the saddle on her. Imagine that, horses are bigger than she realized and she has virtually no experience in riding. This will turn out well.
After about 20 minutes, the horse is saddled up and, after a few tries, Alexis manages to get up on top of it. They move out of the stable at a slow pace. If the horse goes slow, she feels safe. In the middle of one of the castle's lawns she stops to take in the view from up here, enjoying the feeling of the breeze through her hair. She pulls out her journal and dictates a short message.]
Would anyone like to go horseback riding?
