>>5542350>>5542383>>5542394"Right, let's go get that saddle and gather some supplies." You say as you join the pair.
"Okay, here's the rental fee and this is where you need to go." Fie says, handing you a note with an address.
You nod, before borrowing her pen to make a note to get some bathers, a charge converter and some Leppa seeds, though here at least, Fie comes to your rescue with some of her own to save you time.
This done with, you catch a taxi to the beach and head towards the pier, making a detour to a surf store to get yourself some swimwear.
Holly meanwhile, gets something without your input, which you're initially a-okay with and even pleased about, taking it as a good sign she's growing less self-conscious, until she rejoins you, blushing and refusing to say what's got her so flustered.
You mentally shrug her embarrassment off and head down to the rental place Fie noted and get Rascal fitted with appropriate tack for flying, as well as harnesses for yourself and Holly, before you spend the next fifteen minutes practicing the mount and dismount to make sure you know what you're doing with it. On the advice of the manager of the rental place, you also grab a life preserver each, just in case.
This taken care of, you and Holly grab some emergency supplies in addition to the charger.
By the time you've finished packing and have made it to the correct dock at the pier, the boat out to the islands is making final preparations to leave.
You pay for your tickets and board and within ten minutes, you're on your way.
