Night chuckles nervously, "No thank you I'm not sure if he remembers me from the attack at the castle or not so I'm gonna avoid him."

Collin nodded. "Very well. Onward then I... I suppose." He announced, pausing mid-sentance to stifle a yawn.
Noble shook his mane and nickered. I hope you don't fall asleep back there... He remarked.

Umbra runs towards the castle almost throwing Night off as he ran ahead, "Keep up Collin."

"Hm? I'm sorry, what was-- Gah!!" Collin exclaimed, his question cut off when Noble ubruptly broke into a sprint of his own, determined not to fall too far behind Unbra. "H-hey! Slow down!!"

Umbra did the exact opposite of what Collin wanted running even faster, "Oh great they're competing again."

Collin gripped Noble's reins tightly and pinned his ears back, quills bristling. "Can you slow your's down??" He asked in a somewhat desperate tone.

Night pulls back on Umbra's riens only to have them ripped out of his hands, "Nope. Looks like we're getting the express route to the castle."

Collin let out a defeated groan. "Loops and corkscrews..." He griped. Usually, he'd appreciate the adrenaline rush, but right now, all his exhausted state wanted was a calm, stress-free ride to deliver the message followed by a long nap under a tree someplace.
Or in a bed. Whichever was readily available.

After a few more seconds and a very close race the two make it to the castle.

Collin lurched forward as Noble skidded to a halt, leaving a cloud of dust in his wake. The hedgehog blinked once, twice as he cleared his mind and came out of his previously rattled state of mind. With a stiff nod, he sensibly slid down from Noble's back and stumbled towards the castle gate.
