So far Esille was rather pleased with her ability to stay upright on a moving animal, though part of her smugly thought that Pendalier might have had some hand in that. She didn't even lose her balance when he came in close to give her a kiss, though it certainly added a bit of an added thrill to the moment. It helped her relax a bit more once he pulled away and she loosened her grip on the reins a little, sat a bit less stiffly as she enjoyed the ride and took in the scenery as they rode through it.
It was easy to pretend that she was truly important sitting high up on her steed, surveying the Hold with Pendalier instead of just going along on what she was sure was really a very casual ride. When they finally reached their destination she reached down to gently pet the mare's neck, praising her behavior though she wasn't sure if the beast could understand or even appreciate her words or not. Her legs were slightly wobbly once she reached the ground and she used it as an excuse to wrap her arms around Pendalier in a tight hug. "That was fun. Does she have a name? She's so beautiful and lovely and well behaved! At least she seems well behaved to me."
Esille watched as the horses were tended to, curious about all of the little details that she wouldn't have normally considered went along with sitting on top of a horse. It made sense that they'd have to be kept from wandering off, and that they would want to be comfortable while they rested, but it was so odd to think about those little details when she never had to bother with it before. She joined Pendalier, lounging against him comfortably as she watched the horses. "We should probably eat soon at least, so that we have more time to relax and digest before riding back. Thank you again for taking me out here, it is really quite lovely. Do you think I'll be able to go riding with you again sometime?"
