Zach wanted to make the most of his break from the Academy and all things stressful, so he had set aside a couple of things, including dealing with Alzara's addition to the team. He had accepted her and introduced her. Then, he had kind of just let her be and get used to the whole thing while he played around.
But now that he was on his way to the Academy, it was time to start being proactive again.
So, while Nora and Yanael sat on the outside of the carriage, steering the horses, Zach and Alzara sat inside, facing each other. Zach was a little apologetic toward her since she had to slouch to avoid bopping her head against the carriage ceiling.
The family probably had bigger carriages. But that would need at least another two horses to feed and control. It would also be a carriage that wasn't used often since the Duke and Leonidas, the ones tall enough to necessitate such a carriage usually rode their horses directly if running wouldn't do.
"Alzara."
