I'm going riding.

[Yes, her mind is made up.]

If anyone wants to come or ... Maybe could help me harness a horse, then meet me in the stables in half an hour.

[Of course, even though it's an open invitation, Kairi will be gathering up friends along the way ( Read more... )

Horses...?

Mhm!

Do they have horses on your world?

[Audio] angha_firebird August 3 2011, 04:29:15 UTC

On my world? Well...yes. I have seen them only rarely.

I have never ridden one.

Heh, there weren't any horses on the islands.

[Kairi had never seen one up close before coming to the keep.]

You should come along! Talia says she can teach us!

SOME TIME LATER [commentlog] lightyourway August 10 2011, 09:36:40 UTC

[Kairi let her horse to stand a short way from Xanth's, the bridle held tight in her hand. She didn't want to be too close in case either horse got skittish while she was trying to get on, Talia's words about nervousness ringing in her ears.

She glanced across at Xanth before placing a hand on the pommel of her horse's saddle.]

You ready?

[Xanth shifted in his saddle. Horse riding was not exactly comfortable, but hey - he's had worse.

Besides, this is more fun than he expected.]

Y-Yeah, just-- j-just about!

[The lessons were brief, but these horses seem well-trained. All Xanth had to do was not fall off.

And not ride into a wall.]

[Kairi did one last mental check before trying to mount. It was kind of awkward. She didn't know how putting her foot through a stirrup could be more awkward than getting a boost from Sora or Riku, but it was. Still, she managed, and a moment later she'd settled into the saddle.]

Okay.

[This... This wasn't so hard, right? She just had to press the horse a little and it would go.]

Should we practise here a little before going out the gate?

[She released the reins with one hand to wave at the curtain wall and the outer bailey beyond.]

I--I guess so, y-yeah...

[Biting his lip, Xanth squeezes his legs together and his horse starts walking. It's jarring and he rocks a bit in the saddle, but at the same time, it's exhilarating.

He can't help a grin.]

W-Woah! Um. W--Wow.

[His horse walks a few steps forward, then Xanth turns it so he doesn't stray. He sneaks a glance at Kairi.]

G--Go on, it, i-it's not th-that hard!
