Willam looked relieved when she learned that the first time was free and she would be able to get what she needed. She was even going to be shown where to find most of the things that she wanted. That was a giant weight off her mind because she could not possibly return empty handed. Of course she hadn't exactly allowed anyone to know where she was headed or what she was after so the only one that she would truly be disappointing would be herself. But still, that was enough to bother her. It would have still been an utter failure in her mind as she hadn't been able to fulfill a task that she had set for herself.

The large female followed after the woman that had agreed to show her around. She had to or else she would never find what it was that she was after. Or well, maybe she would have still been able to find it but it would have taken much longer. "What about something to cut the wood? Where would that be found? In the same place or somewhere else?" That was the only thing else that Willam would need, or so she thought, that hadn't been listed off as to where to find it.

Willam watched the other female greet her own steed. She was surprised when she climbed onto the mare's back though. "Mount up?" Her voice presented forth her confusion at the words. She had never heard them before and had no idea what they meant. Willam had never ridden a horse before. Châtiment had only ever been used as a work horse. His whole purpose had always been to pull the travois on hunts. the stallion hadn't been used for anything past that as far as Willam knew. At least she had never used him for anything other than that since she was usually the one hitching the travois to his back.

As she didn't understand, or even had the basics of riding, she continued to walk along. She had always walked wherever she went. Even the long journey all the way to Inferni had been done on her own two legs. It wasn't the quickest option of travel but it was all that she knew. Actually Willam never even knew that there was a possibility that Châtiment could be taught to carry a rider upon his back since he was certainly docile enough. But would he even walk on his own? How could Willam direct him when she was used to being in front of him and walking to show him just where to go. When they were traveling together he had always walked when she walked and would stop when she stopped. how could he do that when he would be unable to see her to follow?

No, Willam figured that she was better off just walking on her own two legs instead of trying to ride the horse. At least that way she knew she could control where she was going. Also, knowing her own speed of travel she could approximate when she would get somewhere. There were just too many uncertainties for her to consider to take up riding. She didn't want to get dependent on another for travel. Willam didn't want others to think her an invalid because she could not walk on her own.
