Phoenix smiled. He looked around at them all. His voice was warm and playful, as if he was pleased that they'd all joined them. "I think that we should go for a ride through town together, don't you think? A little parade. I know how you like those, dear. You could ride your new stallion. He needs the practice."
A...
New stallion?
Was that some kind of lewd joke? A reference she didn't get?
Phoenix lightly rapped her forehead with his fingertip. "Dispel those silly thoughts, love."
"Wha-?! I'm not-! You!"
"Archibald gifted you a stallion for the wedding. Did you not even pay attention...?"
"N-No! That's!" She sputtered. "I! Haven't! Looked at any! Gifts!"
Even though the wedding was days ago.
She...
There wasn't like.
She hadn't even realized there were a bunch of gifts to look at?! She was just!
Focused on the other stuff!
But now she felt embarrassed. Her face flushed.
