Starfire turned back to her before nodding, "Yes that will do. And the lying will come in handy if we do run into some hunters.." He walked over to her before lowering his head so she could put it on. He usually didn't like anything on his face especially rope but it wouldn't be for long and he trusted Ash.

(Ack short)

Ayesha nods as she pulls out some rope loping it into a make shift halter. One that wasn't to tight and wasn't to loose,"Sorry. I know you probably don't like this." She mutters as she slips the halter over his head, securing it. Before loping the "reins" back to rest on the saddle horn. "Yes, I can lie pretty well. Probably not a trait I should brag about, but oh well." She manages a small smile.

(All good! Mine's pretty short to!)

Starfire allowed her to put it on, shaking his head slightly afterwards. "It's okay, just a few bad memories of rope in my history. It will be okay for the time being." He said, shaking his mane out before flicking his ears back. Starfire chuckled before saying, "Not a bragging trait but definitely useful when it comes to some things. Go ahead and hop on. It's almost afternoon which means we can get in there while they are at lunch break hopefully."

Ayesha grimaces, ropes. Most animals she knew had more bad history with ropes then good. After a second's hesitation, she swings aboard. Getting on a horse was easier then getting on a wolf. Then again, she had more experience with horses then wolves. She settles into the saddle, snagging the reins. But she doesn't put pressure on to it. Just holding them to make it look like she was doing something, hopefully that would help keep hunters away. She nods,"Hopefully."

Starfire shifted slightly to accommodate the weight back on his back. He took a step back before flicking his ears. Once Ash was on comfortably, Starfire went into a fast trot before going into a canter. As the trees thinned out, he allowed himself to go into a slow gallop before slowing as they reached a fence. Gates were open throughout the fence but each would have a guard. Since it was noon, most of them didn't. Starfire let out a sigh thankful before trotting through one of the gates. They were almost in the clear when two guards came out of the watchtower and spotted them. Don't flee, don't flee. Starfire commanded himself before coming to a halt as one of the guards started towards them. "What is your business here ma'am?" One of them said, looking at Ash. Starfire forced himself to stand still even though his brain was telling him to run away.

Ayesha moves with Starfire making everything seem natural and normal. Especially as they come closer and closer to the camp like place. Ayesha goes through the movements of pulling Starfire to a stop, but secretly was hoping she wasn't pulling to hard on the reins. Ayesha looks down at the guards,"I'm a free travler. I like to wander around with me and my horse." To add affect, she leans down to gently pat Starfire on the shoulder. Before straightening back up,"We just like to explore new places. And I was wondering what this area holds."

Starfire holds his breath as Ash lies to the guard, hoping it would be enough. The guard listened intently before asking, "Can you please come inside? We have maps of the area but would also like to inform you of how dangerous this place is." Starfire flicked his ears, a normal traveler would which would make it look weird if Ash didn't. Starfire lowered his head before bringing it back up, thinking of how they needed a code system for simple things like yes and no.
(The guard is a NPC which means you can control it too ^^ Hopefully this brings a twist~)

Ayesha hesitates, she was wary of strangers. But she looks down at Starfire,"Sure." Before swinging off, patting Starfire's shoulder as she pulls the make shift reins over his head, trying to act as normal as possible. "Do you mind if I tie him to the fence? He likes to wander." The guard shrugs,"I don't care." Ayesha walks a few steps away from the guard and begins to tie Starfire to the fence, making it so he could easily pull away if needed. Whispering so only he could hear,"Maybe I can find a easier way, I dunno."

(Oop, hopefully. I'll have to think of something, XD)

Starfire walked with Ash, listening to her before nodding slightly. "Good luck. Just whistle if anything goes wrong or you need help." He whispered so only she could hear him. He had moved his head over as if nuzzling her so no one would see his mouth moving. He would also have to be careful not to pull on the reins too much or they would come loose from the fence. It would be okay as long as they didn't bring any hounds his way.

Ayesha mutters one last thing,"Don't be afraid to run and leave me if needed. I can handle myself." Before pulling away, aware of the guard's gaze trained on her. Ayesha shrugs,"Sorry, I like to talk to my horse. It gets lonely on the roads, you start to go crazy. Then all you start to do is talk to the only companion you have." The guard grunts before beckoning Ayesha inside. Ayesha hesitates throwing one last look over her shoulder before she follows the guard inside.

(Um, I guess I should let you control teh guard now? For the map part, XD)
