Markul had eaten enough hay that he was able to form the parts needed to speak aloud.
"Really? Well...I have no idea what we are capable of...are you good at a fighting skill? Besides, there is the question of whether or not this lady even needs help. I have seen her in action, and she can hold her own. Yet I cannot risk losing those two before making amends and satisfying my curiosity.
Hop on. Let us take to the air and circle about. If we see a clear danger to them, we shall attack with whatever we are capable of...even if that means I swoop low while you make silly faces and sly remarks. Ready?"
The pegasus allowed the rider to board and leaped into the air, then awaited Sive to try and detect any curious affair below. All the while, he was trying to think of a shape that would be an offensive advantage in a battle, but knew not what they faced yet. Then there was the whole question of what Sive was capable of. Maybe an unmentioned "trick" could win the day. There is no telling what this one was capable of!
Then Markul realized he had been thinking aloud and hoped that she was not also a mind reader.
