Ride a horse

"Alright well, I think it is time for us to go now" said Liam as he smiled and he looked at his traitor horse who obviously loved his wife more than him, and it was not like he did not want his horse to like Wura, but he liked her way too much.

"Your highness, will you please tell me where it is we are going?" asked Wura as she looked at Liam, she was curious to where he was taking her, she could not see a carriage anywhere, which meant that they were not going to go anywhere formal, and well he looked too calm, calmer than he usually was.

"Well you shall see when we get there" said Liam as he did not tell her anything at all.

"Alright then" said Wura as she did not feel like arguing with him right now, she was in a good mood, and she wanted to maintain that, and she hoped that he would do the same as well.

"So where is the carriage?" asked Wura as she looked at Liam.

"We will not be taking it today" said Liam.

"The carriage will not be able to go where we are going" said Liam.

"So how will we get there??" asked Wura as she was confused.

"By horse" said Liam as Wura looked at him, and then she looked at Nolan.

"Alright, then where is my horse?" asked Wura as she looked around.

"We will ride together on Nolan" said Liam.

"Wait, you and me??" asked Wura as she looked at Liam and he nodded his head.

"No… I ma not riding with you" said Wura as she shook her head.

"Oh really?" asked Liam.

"Yes" said Wura as she shook her head, she did not want to be close to him, not to even talk about riding on the same horse with him.

"Then tell me, do you know how to ride a horse?" asked Liam was a raised eyebrow.

"Well…" said Wura as she was about to speak, but she paused, wait he was right, she did not know how to ride a horse, she had never learnt how to.

"That is what I thought" said Liam as he smiled.

"I can ride a horse" said Wura as she really did not want to ride a horse with him, she was sure that it was not too hard to ride a horse, Nolan was very calm with her, and she was sure that any other horse would be as well.

"Trust me Wura, riding a horse is not easy at all, especially if you have no experience" said Liam as he explained, he found it amusing that she did not want to ride with him, there was nothing big with her riding with him.

"And I do not want you to end up hurting yourself" said Liam as he explained.

"Fine" said Wura as she sighed and she looked very annoyed.

"Alright then, let us go" said Liam as he smiled.

"Fine, but I can get on Nolan myself" said Wura as she was not weak at all.

"Are you sure about that?" asked Liam as he looked amused.

"Yes of course I am, I am not weak at all" said Wura as she nodded her head.

"Well then be my guest" said Liam as he smiled and he stepped back, he wanted to see how this would play out.

Wura looked at Liam, well he agreed quite to easily, and Wura was not sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Alright Wura, you can do this, it is not too hard to mount a horse, yes, yes" said Wura to herself as she tried to reassure herself, Nolan had already been saddled up, and Wura's eyes moved down to the stirrups, she could easily use them to mount on Nolan, besides Nolan was being a very good boy, and he stood very still.

"Alright Wura" said Wura to herself one last time as she held Nolan's reigns and she tried to pull herself up on the horse, but she struggled, she could not get her footing right, this was much more harder than she had thought.

Wura huffed as she could not get on Nolan, she turned to look at Liam, who was just looking at her, she hmphed at him as she turned back to face Nolan and she tried to hoist herself on him once again, she made noises as she struggled to get on him.

Liam on the other hand was trying his best not to laugh, he found this just hilarious, she was just too proud to ask for help, it was clear that she was struggling and yet she kept on struggling, once Liam was done seeing her struggle he walked towards her and without warning, he hoisted her up and she sat on Nolan.

Wura blinked as she looked around, she did not even notice what had happened, she had blinked and the next second she was on Nolan, Liam was way too swift.

Liam mounted on Nolan with ease as he held Nolan's reigns and Wura sat in front of him.

"Now that was not so hard was it" said Liam as he smiled and he whispered in Wura's ear.

"*Ahem*, your highness, I do appreciate you for your assistance, but I was about to do it myself" said Wura as she cleared her throat.

"Rightt" said Liam as he laughed and he tugged on Nolan's reigns as they began to move steadily.

Wura's heart was beating fast, she did not know if it was because this was her first time riding a horse, or if maybe it was because she was so close to Liam.

"I would need to teach you how to ride a horse sometime" said Liam.

"Would you really??" asked Wura.

"Of course" said Liam as he smiled and Wura smiled.

"Can we go faster?" asked Wura.

"Are you sure that you want to go faster?" asked Liam.

"Mhmm" said Wura as she smiled.

"Alright then, hold on" said Liam as without warning he said the word "Hiyahh" as he tugged on Nolan's reigns and Nolan moved faster.

"Hahah" said Wura as she laughed as she felt the cold wind on her face and hair, even Liam smiled, he had never seen her so happy before, the terrain around them soon began to change, from the snow covered streets to the snowy forest full of green trees.

Wura looked around, she wondered what they were doing in the forest, she wondered if where they were going was even safe.

"Hey boy… slow down" said Liam as he tugged on Nolan's reigns and Nolan slowed down as they galloped at a steady pace, and Wura took the time to look around, she had never been here before.

And after a few moments, something weird that was not part of the forests natural habitation caught her eye.

"I do not think that is supposed to be part of the forest" said Wura as she saw a flag waving in the air and Nolan came to a stop and Liam got down from Nolan.

"Well we shall see" said Liam as he smiled and he stretched out his hand and Wura took his hand as he carried her down from Nolan as if she was nothing at all.

"Thank you" she said without making eye contact with him, she was still embarrassed, she had embarrassed herself in front of him when she tried to mount on Nolan by herself, she was sure that he had enjoyed every single moment of her embarrassment.

"You are welcome" said Liam as he smiled at her.

"Will Nolan be safe here all alone?" Wura as she turned back to look at Nolan, who just neighed.

"He will be alright" said Liam.

"He is a good boy, he can go and graze" said Liam as he smiled at Nolan and he patted Nolan, which made Nolan neigh.

"Oh well alright" said Wura.

"Goodbye Boy" said Wura as she smiled at Nolan and she patted him one last time, before she turned to walk after Liam.

"Now can you please tell me what we are doing here your highness?" asked Wura as she turned to look at Liam as they walked through the snow.

"Well we surely are almost there, so you will find out soon enough" said Liam as he smiled, Wura was really impatient.

"Well that is easy for you to say your highness, you already know what you are here for" said Wura as she scoffed.

"You really are impatient are you not?" asked Liam as he laughed.

"Eager yes, impatient maybe" said Wura as she explained and Liam laughed, her was of thinking really was peculiar, and she was always very honest, that was what he liked most about her, her honesty.

"Well look" said Liam as he smiled and he pointed and Wura followed his train of sight as she was left confused at what she saw.
