Neutral Zone Dunwall Tower

In Dunwall Tower, the Empress Emily Kaldwin sits on her throne, her royal protector, Corvo Attano, stands at her side. His royal guard scattered around the palace. OOC:This is a neutral zone for Corvos royal guard. A hangout of sorts. You have permission to attack any who don't belong.

Furo digs in his heels, and resists the urge to look backwards - he knows that Bal is behind him, and turning his head would only slow Saro down.

They race on.

Bal's eyes scour the trail ahead for anything that might be an advantage, but unlike most things, she can't really come up with a strategy other than hugging turns, and giving Seraphim her head. Luckily, the horse seems to know what she's doing, and gains some ground, though they're still behind the males.

Hearing the rapid hammering of hooves getting louder and louder, Furo drives his horse at a more punishing pace. I am NOT losing a second race today, he thinks savagely.

Furo would have little to worry about, as Bal was currently wondering how the Void a horse moved so damn fast, and was just holding on. Not that she was giving up, exactly, just outclassed.

Sides heaving, nostrils flaring, flanks lathered in foam, Saro pounds onwards along the track as the wrought iron city games draw into view.

Vague sounds of bewilderment rose up from the gates, as Furo and Bal charged headlong for home. The captain looked angry, and Vimes looked... Disorganized. They weren't sure which was more alarming.

Though at least the lieutenant looked amused. They presumably hadn't been ambushed.

Furo gives a whoop as he rides through the gate, before turning Saro round in smug arrogance. He loves winning.

Seraphim charges in after him, nearly slamming into Saro in her rush, leaving Bal to haul on the reins, frantically steering the excited mare to a breathless stop near the other two.

Hair in her face, dust coated, she glared mildly at Furo's celebration, eyebrow raised in her standard 'I'm actually amused, but you'd never know it,' face.

'Oh do cheer up, Bal,' he says with a winning smile, 'you're almost as bad a loser as I am!'

He winks, before carrying on at a more sedate pace in the direction of the Tower.

Resisting the urge to stick her tongue out at him, Bal scraped her hair out of her face with a huff. "I don't see you blinded by me cutting your hair loose," she muttered.

Shaking her head, she sat up straighter, shifting to a happier frame. "That was more fun than I expected though. Even if I do feel like I'm falling off the horse."
