He skids into a stop, glancing at his map for what seems to be the hundredth time. Looking up, he scans his surroundings, and then the map again. The boy takes several steps, walking towards the North- or was it East? He wasn't really sure. He wanders around for a while, regretting his decision.

He should have just auxen within the kingdom's walls. It would have saved so much time. Of course, he is aware that it would be a stupid idea- which is likely the reason why he didn't do it in the first place. Towns, and especially around the royal palace, are infested with those dreaded White Riders. His last encounter wasn't too pleasant- he would much rather avoid the hindrances. The government clearly dislikes the idea of thievery and Blue, being the Marauder, is not in a favourable position. It is much safer to go on foot, perhaps disguised as a commoner. The Riders wouldn't know to recognize him. Aries's capital would likely be his last destination either way- if he ever finds it...
