After 30 minutes she got bored and decided to go out "Hey Tyler, i want to go out, do you want to come?" She asked waiting for Tyler to answer

"You don't have to ask me, and you couldn't exactly stop me. It's my job." Tyler cracked a small smile, preparing to follow the girl. He made sure his jacket hung loosely over his shoulders and his shirt was tucked in his jeans so he could very easily acces the belt of daggers he kept around his waist.. even though he never really used them. He was more of a -body slam you into the ground then grab your neck and list you off your feet- kind of guy.

"Ok, i just wanted to see if you wanted to" she said with a small smile, she turned and started down to the main room where the king and queen were sitting on their thrones "Mother, father, im going out" she said, bowing slightly before turning and leaving

Tyler followed her silently, almost like he wasn't there. He watched the princesses every move, glancing around with his sharp black eyes and making sure no one had a weapon... or even looked suspicious.

Once she was outside she stopped to think, finally she had a idea "Wait right here" she instructed "I'll be back" She ran (walked when she was in her parents sight) up to her room and changed into a royal blue tunic and some yellow leggings and came back down she looked at Tyler "Can you ride?" she looked serious

Tyler looked anxious about her leaving, but he had to listen to a direct order. When she came back and asked the question, Tyler's face twisted into a slightly amused grin. "Who can't?" He snorted, then remembering she was a princess in a kingdom where probably no one could ride and he was a redneck from Texas... where all they had were horses. In fact, he had brought his own horse just in case. Tyler walked into the Stable, tacking his horse up deftly before waiting for the girl. His horse was a Red Roan stallion, obviously a Quarter Horse.

Zelda came into the stables and took out a guards horse and tacked him up, a Tobiano Piebald Stallion, she led the horse outside and looked around to make sure no one was watching "Can you help me up please" She asked politely

Tyler raised an eyebrow before putting his hand under her boot and boosting her up with no problem. He then, with flexibility someone of his size/strength should NOT have, put his foot in the stirrup of his saddle and swung up, landing as lightly as he could on the horses back. It was a 17 hh solidly built QH... that helped. Tyler waited for her to go so he could follow, softly stroking WW Wild West's neck. (His horses name)

"Thank you Tyler, im not all that great at mounting" she said a little embarrassed, She looked at Toby (stallion's name) making sure he was content, then gently nudged him asking him to canter. She was off

Tyler edged West into a canter, bringing him smoothly up by Zelda. Back at home he ran a ranch... so he knew how to ride. Tyler thought of all his cattle ... horses... friends. All back at home while he was stuck here... because he was the smartest and strongest guy this kingdoms king could find. He clenched his jaw for a moment, letting out a small breath.
