Figment of Thought

She laughs upon seeing them. "Aww, look. That horse wants the goat to play," she points out not knowing the 'special' looking thing is in fact his horse.

"i told you he liked the goat " he sighs "cut that out you daft blighter......." he moves over to lean on the fence and the horse seems to notice him...and ignore him for a bit longer

Whis laughs. "So... this one is yours?" she asks him before turning her attention back to the half ghost creature. "He is very handsome. Hello Mr Equine," she greets the animal thinking he has quiet a personality about him already.

"can animals see you sometimes?" he wonders and stares at his horse who finally deams them interesing enough to stop bugging the goat and wander over

She has to think about it. "I've never interacted with one before.. But, I am sure some dogs and cats have seen me. They've stared at me or barked at me before."

he holds his hand out and the stallion nibbles it wiggling spectral ears "no food you greedy boy...you want to meet my new friend? her name is whis...isnt that pretty.." the horse nods

She giggles reaching out to try and pet some of the spectral mane.

the horse feels quite tangible despite being see through and he wickers softly "he likes you..." ewen smiles " and scratches the horses forlock "i assume so anyway...Ivory...count...how many " he points to himself the horse stamps" see he knows a few tricks"

She watches and giggles. "That's clever. You are very clever aren't you," she comments to the horse petting his nose. "I like you too."

he nuzzles her hand and ewen smiles to himself

"aww, he's so sweet," she comments with a smile.

"he has his moments....so want a ride?" he gives her a huge beaming smile obviously his favorite thing

She nods enthusiastically. "Yes please!"

he hops over the fence and wanders over the paddock "be right back will just get his tack..." he goes to a shed and takes out the saddle and bridle coming back and laying both over the fence "come on ivory stand ready" he talks to his horse as it dances about excited

She laughs at his antics. "He makes me think of a large dog. He is just as excited as you looked a moment ago."

"horses are large dogs " he gives him a shove and gets the saddle on easily enough as the horse calms to let him "and we both like riding"

She watches letting him do what he needs to. He makes it look easy

he pulls the straps tight gets the bridle on with minimum effort although ivory does move his head through it at one point "quit it..." he shakes his head then gets it fastened "right..ready to go

She pets the horse's side fondly. "Has his head ever gone through it while you where riding him?" she asks imagining that could have been an interesting out come.

"no it has a special buckle on it to stop that....does not stop him being a pain to get it on it the first place though...i dont really need it but it can help, want a hand up we have no mounting block"

"Yes please," she nods. "What should I do?"

he taps the saddle front "grab hold of this with your left hand and put your right left foot in my hands " he links his fingers and leans so she can use him as a step up "swing your leg over...i cant teach you side saddle never had anyone that did it" he grins

"O-ok.." she nods getting nervous all of a sudden. It looks a long way up now that she has to climb on. She takes ahold of the saddle and steps on his hands as instructed. She weighs next to nothing. It would seem that Alice didn't put much thought into 'weight' of her character or else went the unrealistic route of 'light as a feather'. She fails getting on the first try but gets on on her second - just.

he helps ease her up "there we go...." he makes sure she is settled before pulling himself up behind her

Given she is almost sat in his lap she coughs a little, her cheeks pinking again. She is glad he is behind her. "Um.. here to I hold onto?" she asks
