Digging through her rune stones, the seventeen year old finally came up with Dagaz and Thurisaz. She placed one stone in Tag's left hand and the other in his right and then smiled at him before closing her eyes and holding a hand right above each stone. Hm...which one did she feel like she should use?
After a moment or two, the blonde picked up the stone in Tag's right hand and opened her eyes. "Thurisaz, cool." The other one was put away and then eyes were back on Sir Sassy Pants. "Ever ride a horse before, Tag?"
No, Ella. Leprechauns did not know how to ride Granian horses. Nor did they know how to ride actual horses. But there was a first for everything. If only the horse were a unicorn, then that daydream Tag had over the summer, of a leprechaun riding a unicorn, would have come true. Anyway. And, yes! Ella was willing to work with Tag. GRIN. Why was Ella borrowing Tag's hands? Ok, and now she was holding them. What was she doing? Tag watched the girl carefully placing the runestones in his hands and then picking one of them, Thurisaz as she had said.
And attention back on her. "
Nope. I've never ridden a horse before. So this is new for me. Have you?" Because if she did, she could take control. Again. An Ella was smarter and older, so, she was automatically wiser and knew what to do. That's how it works.
