Did he... need to repeat what he said for Wade? Alec reached up a hand and ruffled his hair. It wasn't confusing, yeah? Turns out no, since the boy was making a suggestion. A suggestion that included Wade working on the runes. GULP. "I... sure, yeah, that sounds great!" he said, grinning nervously at the older boy. What was it that Botros had said? Riding a horse wasn't hard... easier than flying on a broom... And he was a fair flier. He nodded a little as he looked at the horse. Easier than flying on a broom... he was going to be the judge of that.
... WHAT?!?!?! It was time to get on?
Alec's eyes widened as he looked at Wade. It was time to get on. He... they... were getting on the horse's back! "I... yeah... yeah, okay," Breathe, Summers, BREATHE. The horse would be able to detect if he was too nervous, yeah? And speaking of horse... Nicole was bending down, low enough for them to get on. This... was it then? GULP.
"Thanks Nicole! ... Erm..." He looked around the saddle and tried to grab onto something that'll help him up without hurting the horse. Resting his hand on the top of the horse's back, Alec lifted himself up onto the horse and swung his right leg over and around the horse. He shifted a little until he was sitting comfortably. There. "Thanks again, Nicole!" GRIN. Pat pat. "Come on up, Curly!" Hopefully the Head Boy would be much better at this than he was.
"
You think so, eh?" Wade continued stroking Nicole, while beaming. She really did seem to like him too. That was a very good thing. Along with the ruffle Alec just gave him. Yeah, he was here again now. "
Great!" He watched a little while Alec got himself all comfy on the horse. Guess it was his turn now. "
Alright," He smiled at Nicole, giving her some more rubs before walking to the saddle to climb on.
The horsie was still low, so he could get on nice and easy too. Swinging his right leg over, he scooted a little behind Alec so he could still see where the runes were embedded on the saddle. "
Thanks Nicole." Giving her back some pats, before she rose up. "
Whoa.." He got his wand back out. "
You all good Spiffy?" Something told him, they would be going fast. So with his left hand, after waiting on Alec's okay to go, he gently rubbed Nicole's backbone before switching to rest on Alec's shoulder.. and they were off! To the Groundskeeper's Hut the Tag-team Rufflers were headed! Luckily, only two runes were going to be invoked at a time throughout the ride.
