Felix's whole face lit up at the agreement. He tried to reign it in a little, to be less obviously happy, but he was never good at feeling things halfway. Especially around Marco, who it was just so easy to be open and happy around. He wanted to share what he loved with the person he loved.
"You'll have so much fun. Promise."
In spite of his obvious excitement, he was disinclined to just trump straight there by way of calling up family. On the one hand Felix generally made a face that showed how he felt about 'family' in all circumstances, but Julian's trump had been one of only two he had kept.
They didn't need it, really, Felix knew the fastest routes to get to Arden from basically anywhere in Amber, dodging and weaving as needed around buildings and other landmarks to avoid being seen by anyone even remotely important. Just because they had dinner didn't mean they needed everyone knowing they were there in that instant.
Near the edge of the ranger's encampment right inside the forest his gleeful smile turned mischievous.
"Wait here, ok? I'll get us a horse, be right back in a jiffy." With that and a quick kiss to Marco's cheek he was off like a thief in the night.
When he said 'get us a horse', that could have really meant anything. The rangers had plenty of horses.
The one Felix came back with was a very particular horse indeed. The giant stallion that was a nightmare to many. Felix was stroking Morgenstern's mane like the war horse was a pony at a petting zoo. For all it was trained to hate Corwin, Felix clearly adored the horse and the feeling was mutual.
