DA NEXT MORNING AT LIKE EIGHT-ISH . . . .

Ezran: *knocking on Rayla and Callum's door* Helloooo?

Soren: What? Do you think they're still sleeping?

Ezran: I dunno, maybe? Rayla, though, is usually up pretty early.

Soren: *shrugs and knocks on door* Callum! Rayla! *sighs and leans on door* This is getting exhausting.

Ezran: We've only been here 30 seconds.

Soren: Yeah, but 30 seconds without any progress.

(inside Callum and Rayla's room)

Rayla: *hears muffled sounds of Soren and Ezran knocking and being annoying. And lifts head slightly.* Huh? *hears noises again and realizes what's going on.*

Rayla: Callum! *Callum grumbles* Callum! *shakes him but accidentally rolls him off bed*

Callum: Hey! *pops back up rubbing head*

Rayla: Sorry *stands up and picks out clothes* But I think we're needed. *walks into bathroom*

Callum: What? *hears knocking* Oh dear mercy- *opens door*

Soren: *falls in* AAUGH!

Callum: *sarcastically* I assume you need something. *Normally* C'mon guys, it's my first morning as a married person.

Ez: *sarcastically* Right, sorry to interrupt your morning but uh, we needed to finalize some stuff.

Callum: Why is it always you two?

Ez: 'Cause everyone else is always too busy with other stuff.  *pause then as afterthought* And I'm you're brother.

Soren: Anyway, do you guys want a carriage or do you want your own horses?

Callum: Own horses. *smiles* Also we just want to go ourselves. Like old times.

Ez: Yeah, except I was there. Also, I thought you'd say that. *sigh* Just don't ambushed, kay?

Callum: Are you kidding?! Rayla is going to be there. We'll be fine.

Ez: If you say so. Meet me by the stables when you guys are ready.

Callum: Will do. *closes door*

(A minute later Rayla comes out of bathroom, dressed)

Rayla: Wha'd they want?

Callum: Just finalizing stuff. *grins* I told them we wanted our OWN horse not a carriage and we wanted to go by ourselves.

Rayla: *smiles* Excellent. Like old times.

Callum: That's what I said!

Rayla: *mutters while looking down at floor and putting on shoes* Good Xadian stars above, I love you.

Callum: *smiles but doesn't look at her* I heard you.

Rayla: Oh whatever, we're married now.

Callum: Oh that's right! We're married! I totally forgot! *comes over and kisses her* That's for reminding me!

Rayla: You're going to do that every chance to say something like that.

Callum: Yep. *opens door* Now, M'lady, to the stables?

(At the stables)

Ez: *to Callum and Rayla* So all these horses aren't in possession of anyone currently so you guys can pick whichever ones you want.
