They all set out together: Susan on Kiseki, Caspian on Boukephalos, and the two gunslingers on the loaned Duncan and Rachat.
(Of course Caspian had mentioned the difficulty of getting all four of them out to the garden and of course Peter had immediately offered the use of the two geldings, so that was all right.)
The trail leads them quickly away from the gathering festivities and into the quiet woods, and Caspian thinks it's a relief for all of them, and not only Susan. Cuthbert chats lightly as they ride and he himself makes certain to talk, but he thinks all of their minds are already on the coming night.
The moon hasn't yet begun to rise, but it will.
Still, he can't help feeling some relief when the garden's peace comes stealing over them. They walk the horses into the grassy area and get them settled for the night, and then Caspian turns to the gunslingers. Cuthbert's seen the garden once already, but it's all new to Alain. "We ought to take a moment, first, to thank the tree-sisters for their kindness."
