“I’ll keep that in mind,” She said, nodding, “I like it here, and Dani is nice.” Jynna reached over and patted the mare’s neck.
“I’ll keep that in mind,” She said, nodding, “I like it here, and Dani is nice.” Jynna reached over and patted the mare’s neck.
He smiled as the mare nickered at the touch, seeming to enjoy it. "For once," he said jokingly referring to Jynna's comment about Dani.
She smiled and patted Dani's neck again, looking around the woods, "She's always nice, you just don't understand her."
He snorted. "You make it sound like she's in her emo phase."
"Maybe she is, you'll never know," She replied, grinning as she rolled her eyes and sat back up straight in the saddle.
He chuckled and looked back at Jynna again. "Feeling up to a faster pace?" he asked her.
Jynna nodded and nudged Dani in the side lightly to get her to move into a faster gait, "Of course I am."
Rhydar smirked and urged Thunder faster, the stallion eager to do so. "How 'bout a race?" he mused nonchalantly. "Horses know where they're going."
"What does winner get?" She asked. Racing sounded quite fun and she wasn't going to say no, she just wanted to see what she could win when she beat him.
"Hmmmm," he tilted his head, a wicked gleam in his eye as he looked at Jynna. "Whatever they want."
She rolled her eyes, "That's not specific enough." Dani seemed eager to go faster and she had to tug on the reigns to keep her from taking off before the race started.
He feigned hurt. "How dare you shoot down the opportunity to get whatever you want." He pouted, sticking out his bottom lip, then huffed. "Fine. Any ideas, Princess?"
"I don't have any ideas, I just don't want to be dared to do something extremely embarrassing with the 'whatever they want' choice if I loose," She replied, a light grin on her face, "Otherwise we can just figure something out when the race is over, Prince."
"When the race is over," he said, bringing Thunder right next to Dani. His green eyes were bright as he looked at Jynna. "Ready?" He was determined to win this one.
Jynna nodded and the grin widened, "Whenever you are." She shifted around in the saddle for a moment and hoped Dani was faster than Thunder, otherwise she'd be in trouble.
Rhydar grinned as well. "Go!" He flicked the reins, and Thunder needed no more encouragement as the stallion took off at full speed.
She laughed as she nudged Dani's side, holding on tight to the saddle as she bolted forward. The mare seemed quite eager to race and Jynna just held on, hoping she knew the way.
The horses wound through the woods, following the nearly invisible path that cut through the trees. Dani and Thunder were neck and neck more often than not, and Rhydar was getting worried he'd lose this one too.
Jynna had no clue where they were going as they went deeper into the woods during the race, her gaze focused on the ground in front of Dani to make sure she wouldn’t trip or stumble on a rock. Thunder and Rhydar seemed to be inching the slightest of leads away from Dani, it was barely noticeable though and she hoped it was just in her head.
The ends of the trails were nearing, and Rhydar hunched down and urged Thunder just a little faster. It seemed he was just barely in the lead, but that didn't mean Dani would put on a sudden burst of speed and win. The path wound around, heading back to Kim's cottage. He glanced back at Jynna when he thought about what he wanted if he won.
"C'mon Dani, just keep up to them." She urged, not wanting to loose by a lot if she didn't win. Jynna focused on the cottage and smiled lightly from the thrill of racing, even though Thunder and Rhydar were going to win.
Thunder came to a sliding halt, rearing back and tossing his head proudly before crashing back down. Dani and Jynna passed mere seconds after, and Rhydar punched the air in victory. "Yes!" He beamed over at Jynna.
She laughed and glanced over at Rhydar, tugging on Dani’s reigns lightly so she wouldn’t keep going. “Well, I guess you won, Prince.” She said with a small smile.
(Funny thing I just realized? Rhydar is technically a prince in my story…)
He grinned. "Indeed I did, and I have an idea of what my reward should be."
(XDXD)
"Is that so?" She raised an eyebrow and patted Dani's neck, the smile on her face growing into a light grin.
His eyes very briefly flicked down to her lips. "Mmhmm." His tongue poked out to lick his lip ring.
She turned Dani back towards the pasture and nudged her side so she started towards it. "Well then, what's your idea?" She asked, glancing at him for only a moment.
He followed on Thunder. "Well, I was thinking of tasting something sweet and tasty, and definitely addictive, again."
"So more ice cream?" She joked, laughing lightly as her face heated up and she tried to hide it.
He laughed slightly but didn't answer her. Instead, he dismounted Thunder once they were in the pasture and started unsaddling the stallion.
