yes, they ride pretty much until exhaustion knocks fara off her horse, or
until they get to the prepared rest stops. and break-neck speed is
different on the main highway than on a back-road, all muddy and potholes
and weird turns adn overhanging branches. and a middle age (?)
grief-stricken woman who is more accustomed to gentle horses and mild rides
doesn't have the same endurance as a man accustomed to long hard rides.

yet ingrey notices a misfit between the rainbow of kingship and the physical
man, and fara is dazzled but not happy. . . clearly wencel is not going to
have everything his own way
ah, hte uses of a quick impulse - ingrey wonders if he can delay horseriver,
and deliberately repeats what happened to him and ijada: knocks fara off her
horse without fore-planning it before hand. oops. and when he is called to
come back, he tries but can't fight the river. oh deary deary me, what a
naughty river, not listening to the king. :)
when the two reach the river bank, fara is rubbing her head from
strangeness, not a sick headache. if it were me there, i'd be sick from
fear, espec. if prone to migraines. how is she standing up to all this?
the lack of good accomodations and pampering is likely as un-accustomed as
hte hard riding and the fear.
and then the dead man steps out of a tree.
ladies and gentlemen, the ride is over, we have reached the nightmare. let
the fun begin!
