"Aren’t you getting on?"@@novelbin@@

Meteor tilted his head slightly, his indifferent eyes fixed on me.

I glanced back and forth between his face and the hand he held out.

Sharing a horse with him felt a little awkward, but hesitating any longer would have been even stranger.

"Alright."

I forced myself to respond casually, deliberately bypassing his hand as I mounted the horse on my own.

I didn’t need help for something as simple as getting on a horse. I could do it with my eyes closed.

In a moment, I was seated securely, and Meteor withdrew his hand, gripping the reins. Just before we set off, he spoke.

"Hold on tight."

"Okay."

I lightly grabbed hold of his waist.

That was the best I could manage for "holding on tight."

The horse began to move, but as if reluctant, it slowed down almost immediately.

Wondering what was wrong, I peeked over Meteor’s shoulder.

"If you hold on so loosely, you’ll fall off and crack your head open."

“….”

What a charming way to put it.
