The sun was just beginning to touch the sky when the two were spotted coming up the road, heading towards Moonstone Castle. Several men at arms came out the from behind various bushes and trees as they approached. The emblems on their armor held the royal crest; a dragon's head surrounded by a wreath of flames.
The moment Skye saw the crests, she knew Tidas would be waiting for her. Most likely furious that she didn't tell anyone where she'd gone. She hadn't even disturbed the sleeping stablehand when she'd gotten Thoth from his stall. The guards rapidly asked them if they were alright, or if they'd been taken against their will. When Skye'd replied no, that everything was fine, the guards exchanged confused looks amongst themselves.
