“I can ride a horse too.”, Markus told Nox. They could save some money instead of getting a cart. It wouldn’t be too hard to find someone Markus could trust to bring the horse back here, then.
“I come from a little further away from here. It’s quite a long travel, normally.”, he admitted, chuckling lightly.
Markus listened curiously to all Nox did, not bothered by anyone staring at him weirdly. He was used to it, in this country at the very least.
“No thank you. Do you need help?”, Markus replied and shook his head lightly. He gently laid a hand on the horse, and after a few moments peeked open the eye Nox wasn’t able to see, and easily got up then. He did offer Nox a hand to help pull her up.
Nox let Markus pull her up. She sat in front of him and took the reigns. With a gentle pat and a polite request, the horse moved forward at a steady pace.
“Just tell me if we need to change direction in good time, Markus” she said as they set off. Her excitement grew at the prospect of seeing a new land and one full of magic too.
“I thought I was going to ride?”, Markus laughed softly, but let her. What was he to do, if she suddenly decided to take the reigns.
“If you want my opinion on where to go, don’t look back at me please.”, he said then. If she had sat behind him it wouldn’t have been a problem, but he didn’t much mind either way.
