"Well then, let's get to it" Sylrie's voice showed enthusiasm for what they were doing but he maintained a neutral expression, not wanting to break his mercenary character.
Kora will lead whomever is horse savvy to the stables to retrieve the mounts. She spends a little time in the shelter of the building to be nice to Mustard before coming back out where she's supposed to be a battle-hardened weary mercenary. Back out front, she'll bring Kash his horse, while looking the Sivis cart over again.

ey/em/eirs, or they/them works, too (just not he). Role-playing since that keep on those borderlands. Here's my D&D stuff. I love it so.
As everyone gathers their mounts you will notice the courier, a smartly dress gnome bounce into the carriage and it rides off. The Deneith warrior riding on the back of the carriage sharing glances your way but also scanning the village.
"Aye, we ride! Mount up and let us be off, you mongrels!" Sarge commands loudly with a presence you've never seen from him before. An old crotchety warrior demanding his orders be followed.
"Ye heard the Commander, louts" The LT chimes in. Looking out of place on her large war pony. Her hair was hidden under the guise of her helm and her face masked by a bandana.
((OOG Take your time RPing here, we will be leaving the village shortly. I want to make sure everyone is good to go before we head off.))

"...Debts must always be paid, sometimes in more than blood and gold. But this is Ordo Ursa," Ren places his hand on Erakas's chest, right where the Dragonborn's heart is. "Right here. And it always has been and always will be. Don't ever forget that. Because I won't."

"Ah Carrhae. It's been too long, my friend." Percival looks out at the rest of his band as they get ready to leave."Anyone have business they want to take care of? It's going to be a long ride, make sure you use the restroom before we leave!" Percival jokes, trying to keep up his mercenary persona.

Mustard nuzzles against you and seems to be in great spirits. Her coat is shiny and brushed, and she looks well fed. It's like you never left Mustard's side, though it feels like months since you've last laid eyes on her. ((OOG Or him...I can't remember your mounts sex, sorry guys lol :P ))

"Ah HA! Maple Stirrup....how I've missed you buddy. Not a finer steed in all of the Reaches!"
Maple Stirrup clops over and licks your face, slightly nibbling down towards your sack. You can tell he's smelling the cheese inside your bag and hoping for a treat.

Carrhae is apprehensive at first, lazily swatting flies with his tail and standing tall. As you gather yourself onto Carrhae's back the horse will jolt ahead and ride in a circle, happy to have the rider back in the saddle.

Kora mounts up, settling her sword so it is easy to draw, and nudges Mustard over closer to the LT. She keeps up the bravado with the House Sivis warrior until he is out of sight, noting the direction the coach went. Then she leans over and slaps the LT on the back, "We gotta find you an even smaller pony!" she laughs. Then more quietly, "That was a lot of rank riding out with that Sivis carriage, mean anything to you?"

Sylrie walked over and grabbed the reigns of Aurala's Pride, he pet her snout between her her eyes and then continued down her neck until he was beside her. This was the appropriate way to introduce yourself to the horse he was taught. He then placed one foot into the stirrup and with ease hoisted himself up and into the saddle. He then sat patiently and waited for orders from their "Mercenary Captain"

"Aye, it is odd. And seeing that a gnomish enclave carriage this far into the Reach is the most unsettling thing of it. Best to keep an eye out for other oddities, Kora. These are dark days, hence why we're here. Whatever the cause for that, we have a mission." She whispers back to you. She then laughs loudly, "A smaller pony wouldn't be able to deal with the weight of my blades and armor!"

"We ride!" Sarge spurs his mount and pushes forward down the dirt road, pushing hard and fast until you are well away from the village. The bystanders in the village watch with wonder at the band of mercenaries as they push out of town, a couple of the smaller children chasing after the horses. The speed of sarge slows down once you get down the road and the village is behind you no more. No, you are on the road, away from civilization and any support from the Aundarian Army. Nothing but open space separates you from the wilds of the Eldeen Reaches.
((OOG Welcome to the Road! I will need the party to figure out a marching order while on the road. Sarge will be towards the front of the line, the LT in the back. Fit in where you get in, this will be the marching order until you come up with something different. Encounters here will be more frequent. Not everything is combat, but there will be a nice mix of you to spread your wings and kick some butt. ))
With Lake Galifar to the left of you and the sprinkled forested area of the Reaches to your right. The sun has passed midday and working towards evening. With days in front of you to get to your destination, the openness of the road is in front of you and the soldiering life you knew behind you.

Johnothon -and, by extension, Midnight- ride just before the front lines, behind Kora. While that’s going to be the dangerous spot, Johnothon can heal, and fight. He quickly enchants his club as he rides on his horse. Isn’t this nice? all this open space, all this area? I personally love it.
Isuzu silently guides her mount to bring up the rear of the group.
OOC: The rear or last in the group is fine with me otherwise if someone has dibs on the position or is better suited for it I have no problem with Isuzu being pushed up one more places towards the middle, whatever works for marching order is good by me.
"Yes, that's the plan."
