Lovek nodded, "Yes, Grand Captain."
He turned to the other two men.
"You heard him. I will prepare my horse, then I will come back and aid if you have not yet accomplished finding horses for yourself."
Lovek went to Ratislav's stall and took the large horse out. He went to the tack room and got the big, thick bridle, and came back out. Ratislav willingly took his harsh master's bit, then received the saddle when Lovek provided it, hardly flinching for, although his master was hard, he never rode Ratislav until the point that his back hurt. The girth was cinched and the stirrups dropped. Rataslav stood as Lovek went back to help the others, but he saw they had found horses.
Lovek mounted Ratislav, and the horse pranced nervously, for he knew that the horrible screaming of battle was likely to come soon.
Lovek watched the other two men mount up critically.
Ah, I wonder what sort of a mission this shall be, Lovek thought. I hope Ulwyte is not as untrained and irresponsible as he appears. Well, as the Grand Captain is along, I shall not have too much responsibility over the boy...
