Erras brought his horse over to Genii and Danivere. It was dapple grey and quite large, but beside the Vardo’s warhorses it may as well have been a pony.

“Up you get.” Erras instructed.
“... that’s a weird name.” Genii laughed, but Erras didn’t seem in the mood for jokes.
Ox’s and his men set off back to their camp at a leisurely pace, chatting and joking with one another.
