The Ride Down

"Sorry for laughing, but Penny stopped so fast, and then you just kept going! I thought you were going to get hurt, but you only bounced once and then landed on your feet, sliding like a Cat Folk! The look you gave Penny is what really got me! Instead of looking hurt, you just looked annoyed!" The guard said, and I rolled my shoulder as I walked up and pushed my head into Penny's.

"I know that she didn't mean to do it; I was just annoyed that my shoulder popped out. I need to start putting on some more weight," I said as I pet the back of Penny's neck, then I turned back to the guard. "We are heading to the south wall, but we will be back around lunch."

"Thank you for letting us know! It can be dangerous out there, so it is good to know when you will be back. That way, we can send someone to look for you if needed, not that your two will need it," The guards laughed, and I smiled as I climbed back on Penny's back.
