UGH PAIN. "Reckon we better not. Can you try to blow those up out of his line of sight?" Mo let go of one of the reins to rub his shoulder and the carriage veered again, causing him to scrabble for the dropped rein. "You're a good partner." Surprisingly.
"Yeah, that too. Think we might have crashed into a tree by now if I was driving." Truth. She hadn't done the nuzzling, the horse didn't KNOW her and she didn't know how to get it to do what she wanted just by tugging on the reigns like Mo seemed to have perfected doing. Lex could have spared him a further compliment too if it weren't for the sudden swerving that sent her sprawling in the carriage, trying to get a grip on something.
Whoa! Okay. Abraxans and explosions did NOT go well together. This had become evident. It was almost the wrong day to wear a skirt. Almost. The Gryffindor still had some balance left about her, however little it was.
Er....what?
Lex hobbled back into her seat, trying to watch for obstacles again but Mo's question had her distracted.
"I'm only incharge of things we might crash into. Can't crash into them unless they're infront of us....in his line of sight." Really it was a necessary evil. She couldn't wait until
after they'd crashed to get rid of the obstacle. That wouldn't do them any good. Another shifting of the carriage sent her crashing into Mo...and what looked like a hurt shoulder but she quickly righted herself, grinning too because HE SAID SHE WAS A GOOD PARTNER.
"You haven't gotten us killed yet, I'm inclined to say you too."
Just ahead she saw another pile of snow, this one bigger and with a branch sticking from it. Forgetting she had a wand for a moment, she took hold of a part of the reigns and had the horse taken another turn so sharp she tumbled to the other end of the carriage. Where did that even come from???
