"No kidding," he mumbles. He briefly reflects upon the life he led before deciding to leave home. "Look--I'm sorry people treat you like that. And I'm sorry for--stealing the show, I guess. . . ?"
"No," Maicyn says softly, "You didn't do anything."
He looks at her, regarding her for a moment. Then, cautiously, he sits a few feet away from her. He says quietly, "I'm not here to make trouble. I just-- I'm just here to try to learn how to do some good for the world."

Maicyn sighs. "I guess you're probably in the right place, then." There is a pause before she speaks again. "You should try to find my brother. He can tell you what it is the Riders do and start teaching you some of the things you need to know."

"Where can I find him?"
Maicyn turns to face the monument. "He's probably still at the training grounds."
"Thanks." He hesitates. "Are you going to be all right. . . ?"
Her voice wavering almost imperceptibly, she replies, "Of course."
"All right. . ." He lingers a moment longer, then turns and begins his descent down the slope. Robin looks at Maicyn with a small wag of his tail, then follows Azril.
