Stilling on Nicole's back, Alec looked out ahead of him at the bit of grass in front of them. This wasn't bad so far. And being on a broom -- and being tall -- had made the boy used to being far away from the ground so he wasn't too scared. No.
That was, until the horse decided to get up. "Whoa whoa whoa..." he whispered, trying to keep his balance on the horse steady. Heart still thumping, he turned his head to try and look back at Wade, who was speaking again. All good? "Yeah... yeah, that was just a surprise," The horse, you know. "You all good Cur--"
But then he was cut off. Why? NICOLE WAS HEADING OFF!
O______O
Turning his attention back to the front, Alec tried his hardest to calm down his nerves. This was easier than riding on a broom... this was EASIER. Than RIDING. On a BROOM. BREATHE. Just breathe. And try not to freak out at the... reins? He knew nothing about horses or how to ride one. How was he meant to use these reins?!
... BREATHE. BREATHE. Wade would invoke the runes and they would make it to the hut. Yeah.
He tried to grab hold of them with both hands, his eyes focused on the sight in front of him and not, you know, Wade's hand on his shoulder. His faith was in Botros. The man HAD to be right. Alec was sure of it. What he wasn't sure of was what was going to end up happening at the end of this. Would they even get to the Groundskeeper's hut? Who knew. His complexion paled as his grip on the reins tightened. They had to get there! HAD to! This was as important as... as... Quidditch. Maybe.
Breathing heavily, he fiddled with the reins a bit, watching as Nicole twisted this way and that whenever he moved one rein more than the other. ... Oh? He pulled on the right rein a bit, watching as Nicole moved over towards the right. He pulled on the left rein and watched as Nicole moved towards the left, facing the direction they had initially been heading off towards. ... Right.
"You okay there, mate?" he called out, a little louder than usual. He had to make sure Wade was okay. Mainly because... well... they were riding on a horse! And Alec was going to figure out a way for them to go at full speed. Or at least faster than this trotting pace they were going at.
Well, this was a nice view being a little extra taller to look down on things. He wondered how it would've felt flying around.. But yeah, he couldn't look too much at the surroundings since he would be invoking the same runes. Right, it was sort of in his hands to keep the journey safe and everything now.
Wade smiled a little at Alec, looking up only to see the back of his hair was they were riding in the wind. It sure was bright out now. Was he okay? "
Yeah mate, you and Nicole are doing great." Now then, time to concentrate. He cleared his throat. Sowilo and Raidho. Right then, Raidho was first so the rune was likely to fade away first. Fixing his wand to the saddle attaching it like glue, he chanted, "
Raidho Raidho Raidho... r r r r r r r r r... ru ra ri re ro... rudh radh ridh redh... rodh... (rut rat rit ret rot)... or er ir ar ur... r r r r r r r r r..." Remaining concentrated on the saddle, he felt the warmth and glow feeling onto it. Perfect!
Well, this was extra comfy now. Wade then looked up towards Alec, "
See anything yet?" He didn't know if there were any obstacles close by. If so, he had his wand ready on the saddle.
