*Lizzie set her jaw to one side.*
Guess that rules that one out. He'd have at least told her his name.
*Her expression warmed and she wiped off her hand on her skirt before offering it to the woman.*
"Just m'brother. Sorry, thought 'ya might have seen him go by here. I'm Lizzie."

"Kate."
No mentin of last names necessary- I don't know if there are any Wanted posters around here.
*Kate shook her hand warmly*
"Good to meet a fellow American."

*Lizzie rolled her eyes knowingly, her smile blossoming anew.*
"Ain't that the truth. All these Frenchies...where 'ya from, anyhow?"

**NEW DAY**
*Micaela led Christian in, pausing to pat the nose of one of her favorite mares.*
"Cormack!" *She called.* "I need to borrow some horses!"
*A thin redheaded man hopped down from the rafters, straightening up and brushing himself off in front of Micaela, then embraced her like a sister.* "How's me favorite girl?" *His accent was thick and Irish, and Micaela had to tame the instinct to reply in an equal brogue.*
"Just fine, Cormack. My friend Christian and I were going to go out for a ride, d'you have two free?" *Cormack nodded and turned to Christian.*
"I already know about the lady, but how's yer ridin' experience?" *He asked, wanting to pair Christian with the proper horse.*

"I'm pretty well-acquainted. I travelled extensively on horseback for a long time."

*Cormack nodded.*
"Right then. You take the bay stallion on the right, and Micaela, I know ye'll be wantin' Turtle."
*Micaela grinned and nodded, kissing Cormack in a friendly manner on the cheek. He just grinned and walked off proudly.*
"You're the best, Cormack!" *She called, rolling her eyes at the Irishman and pointing down the stable.* "Such a pervert. Would've tried to steal one if I hadn't given it to him. The tack room is down there, and your hourse is in that" *She indicated a stall* "stall. His name is Francis, go light on the crop with him." *She said, turning to Turtle, a chestnut mare, and beginning to groom and tack her up.*

*With a touch of expertise, Christian prepared the horse pointed out to him, properly getting everything into place before leading the animal outside*

*She led Turtle outside as well, having tacked her in a standard English saddle, no sidesaddle involved.*
*She was wearing a loose grey skirt and a tucked-in old shirt which used to belond to the costume department, and she suspected it was a man's shirt, given the way it fit. But they both allowed for comfortable riding, and neither required a corset. Which of course wasn't normal, but she couldn't stand not being able to breathe. Undergarments were irrelevant, linen strips were around her chest and an undershirt kept her decent when the shirt dipped too low.*
*She mounted in one graceful movement, her boots fitting into the stirrups.*

*Christian soon joined her, expertly guiding his horse so that he and Micaela were now side by side*
"Ready?"

*She nodded, nudging Turtle into a walk good for city riding.*
"You know where it is, right?" *She said, making sure.*

"Absolutely--I've visited it enough to be sure."

"Okay!" *She said brightly, turning to the correct direction.*
