Maria heard the grate open behind her as she made her way over to Paladin.

She glanced behind her to see Jack, standing there in all his Piratey glory.

"What do you want, Jack?"

"Where are you going, Ria?"

"Does it matter?"

"Yes."

"I'm going to save Set from Julie."

"Who are Set and Julie?"

"The Scarred Bosmer and the Dunmer girl."

"Oh.

Can I come?"

"Why?" Maria sighed.

"Because you're in no condition to travel by yourself." Jack said, grinning raucously.

"You can come if you can find a horse."

Jack looked at her, and then at the white Unicorn standing there, pawing(Hoofing?) at the ground. "Couldn't I just ride with you?"

Maria rolled her eyes. "Fine. But if you touch me again, I'm going to rip your arms off."

Jack laughed. "That's the Maria I know and love."

Maria rolled her eyes again. "Shut up. Don't touch me, got it?"

"Well, I didn't see you complaining." When Maria glared at him, Jack amended his statement. "Got it."

Maria slowly climbed onto the back of Paladin, followed by Jack, who got on behind her.

It was a good thing that the white stallion could hold all that weight, because a normal horse probably couldn't have.

Jack wrapped his strong arms around her waist, to keep from falling off. He smelled like the sea. Maria smiled lightly, closing her eyes, before her eyes shot open once again. "What did I say about not touching me?" She shouted.

"Well," Jack said, grinning. "How else am I supposed to stay on the horse?"

Paladin whinnied, stomping the ground.

"Sorry, Unicorn."

Maria sighed. "Whatever.

Yah!"

Paladin took off, heading into the forest.

They started off on the Silver Road, but, when Julie and Jaryl had gone one way, Maria and Jack headed the exact opposite way.

Maria kept screaming, "Set! Set! Please come out!"
