Once boarded, Rice made herself over towards their assigned coach. She immediately examined herself in the mirror, making sure she looked in tip top shape, just in case some dashing young fellow wandered by perchance.

She thought back to the conversation with the Princess. "Alright then, just make sure the colt you pair me up with is a strong, handsome fellow with manners and will take me across the world" The Princess ran her hoof through Rice's mane lovingly as she smiled at her fairly vain cook. "Haha, Don't worry Kinky Rice, I will!" Rice sighed shaking her head as she stepped outside now walking over towards the window seats, nose still upturned in the most rudest of ways. 'She had promised she would, this isn't exactly what I had in mind though..' She thought with an internal sigh. She really wanted this trip to be over and it had just barely begun.

"But if you must know some information, we're going through this godforsaken mission because I need to gather some rare ingredients to prepare a special meal." She ended with a slight "hmph" and lost interest in looking his way, as she returned to the window.
