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???

Mo grinned stupidly when Lex complimented his driving, although he had to acknowledge that he was doing a more than fair job of it. It helped that he was used to pulling up sharply on his broom, he supposed, since this employed many of the same muscles. Plus he rather thought he understood what their Abraxan was feeling. He was nervous about the explosions, rebellious about having to continue on the same path, and he did NOT like all the tugging on the reigns.

Mo wanted to tug LESS if he could help it, and he scowled broadly at Lex when she was grabbing at the reins. He wasn't trying to take her wand from her, and she needed to let him just be. All the tugging was confusing their Abraxan, and having two sets of hands on the reins was even worse. Mo tugged the rein from Lex's hands and redirected the Abraxan around the snow pile.

"You blast. Don't drive. You chose your job, remember?"
