Ariving in the village

[Light_hearted]

She blushed "dont think me incompitant but it was the night shade i touched it after cutting up my hands and well a small amount of the poison seeped into my system not enough to kill but enough to give everyone a fright i should wager you scared away five years of that medics life with that preformance of yours"

[Spectre]

He watched her bright face as it turned red from his comments. "I suppose I went a bit overboard. I lost control of myself, something came over me when you collapsed. He was screaming about his door, which was the least of my worries. I'll fix it eventually." He laid there  for a moment, then put his left am over her back, resting his hand on her side. "So are we laying here for fun? or other reasons?" He merely cracked a smile, and kissed her lips again.

[Light_hearted]

She smilled "I am here cause my legs are still a bit shakey and i cant have you going off and terrorizing other citizens.. " she sat up and smilled at him "cirden you dont strike me as a tirant but a gentle person please dont prove me wrong.."

[Spectre]

He merely laid there for a moment before speaking. He just thought about her words. he had always been a tirant, this day, and the night before were his only real moments of good he had had in his life in years. What had come over him in the past hours were beyond what he could figure out. " I have been a tirant most of my life. I was raised as a forgotten child. I've never had anything to live for in life. The hours since isaw you at that ball have been the only moments of joy I have ever experienced, and I dont know what has happened to me. I am me, but there seems to be somewhat of anther me that is conflicting with teh me that has been around for ages." He still laid back on the ground relaxing, as he grasped her hand and stared into her eyes.

[Light_hearted]

she smiled and almost breathed out a small laugh "I should inteend for you to experance many more moments of joy.. now if you can did up some horses perhaps we can go on that ride i spoke of last night? i think you would enjoy it that is if you can learn to ride with the stride else for men it can be quite painfull

[Spectre]

He laid there for a moment then sighed. " I suppose I could check in town for a couple usable riding horses.." He laid tehre for a moment, then sat up and kissed her cheek. He sat there for a moment then stood up, and offered a hand to help her up. Horses, one skill he had never really practice, thought about it a few times, but had never tried it.

[Light_hearted]

She took his hand and came to her feet her legs still a bit shakey but uch better then she had been "thank you cirden.. i may make a gentle men of you yet that is if the tryrant in you will let me.." she then kissed him full on the lips gently "what say you?"

[Spectre]

" I'm not quite sure. The tyrant in me seems to want to stay, but there may be work that can be done." He put his arm around her and started walking towards the village. Once there he began to look around for horses. "Ok then, you seem to know more about horses than I do, so perhaps you should be the one that points out ones good for riding."

[Light_hearted]

She wwouldinspect every horse thouroghly inspecting its hoves and spending a little talking to it and stroking its neck picking out a white arabian for him with a smoothe gait and a gentle carmel colored mare for herself but not before scolding on f the villagers on the shape of his horse  doing what she could to heal its cracked hooves taking the time to trim its hooves and brush it down to soothe the animal then saddling up the other two horses for them  sitting side saddle an taking the  eigns "now use the sturups to clime into the saddle and use you thighs  pressure to tell the beast you want to go and make small adgustments with the reigns to tur and if you feel like your going to fall grab onto the beast neck"

[Spectre]

He approached the horse on the left side, and put a hand on its back. Trying to stick his left foot into the sturup and tried to pull himself onto the horse, only to slip on the mud and fal onto his back. As he pulled himself off the ground, he glared over his shoulder at his muddy back, and proceeded to try again. He got his foot into the sturup and pushed up, this time pushing to hard and going over the horse, onto his back again.

Laying there for a moment he looked up at Sharla. "I think i need to go a bit softer trying to pull myself up." He then got himself up, and approached the horse from the right. This time, with his foot in the sturup he pushed with a little pressure, and landed himself on the saddle nicely. He leaned foreward a bit to grasp the reigns, then sat upright. pulling a bit on the reigns, and applying pressure to its side with his leg he attempted to motion the horse forward. The Horse began a slow walk, which pleased him. "I think i may have the hang of this m'lady."

[Light_hearted]

She had to try veryhard not to laugh as he landed in the mud twice she had started very young and had help so had only landed in the mud when a horse threw her now and again She noticed the walk and brought herself to a nice trot beside him "okay pick it u to a trot to keep up with me just a bit more pressure with your thighs"one had to wonder how she did it ridding side sadle havving both her legs over one side.. she looked as though she could fall at any moment but she had ridden for many years and knew how to ride

[Spectre]

He pushed into the horses side a bit more to see if it would respond. The horse began to miove lightly faster, and quickly caught up with Sharla. He gripped the reighns tighter as he went, hoping that he wouldnt fall. He had also hoped that none of the villagers saw his riding fiasco. He would never hear the end of it from Xion. What had he been up to this entire day anyways. He hadnt heard, or seen Xion at all since coming through the portal last night. It was kind of odd.

As he continued to follow Sharla he watched how she rode, hoping she wouldnt fall off. How she could ride sideways was a mystery to Cirden. He didnt even want to try it yet. He was barely comfortable with one leg on each side. "So where to Sharla? You should lead this time."

[Light_hearted]

She smilled "I barely know the place cirden but perhaps i can get some help" she leaned over the saddle to stroke the mares neck whispering to her in elvish the horse might not know elven but her touch made a talipathic link between her and the animal.. the horse snorted and nodded then she did the same to his arbabain stallion looking as though she might slip from the saddle but she didnt and after a moment it did the same with an extra snort "you may want to losen your grip on the reigns Cirden he says your hurting his neck the horses know the way and i will take the lead if you wish.." She said as her mare took the lead  sharlas holding the reigns lightly in her lap very relaxed about it

[Spectre]

"Tell the horse if it wants me to loosin my grip, then it should make sure i dont slide off.." He loosined his grip on the reigns gently, and continued to ride as well as he possibly could for his lack of experience. As he continued he tried to make his ride softer, but only found himslef slipping a bit. "You know, this thing isnt the easiest ride in the world."

[Light_hearted]

She laughed you have to grip with your thighs here ill show you bracing one foot in the stiru she stood balnceing herself and hiking her gress up to her thighs and getting on astride showing him how she was using her thighs to hold onto the horse "use the stirups too it helps even out the gai so you wont be so sore latter" i wouldnt recoment ridding side saddle only ladies do it and its most impracticle but it keeps one from showing to much flesh.. like i am now" she blushed and quickly went back to side saddle
