How is Farogil so oblivious, with questions like that? It would be far less cruel if Detlef was only teasing him and felt confident to push with jokes, but he's actually trying to behave. It's the worst.
Instead of pushing his luck, Detlef grabs a nearby stool. "First we double-check every fastening. You'll get a sense of how it's supposed to feel before long, but before you're fully accustomed to the rhythm of it, always double-check." He runs through each fastening quickly enough before setting the stool down and holding a hand out.
"And now yes. On to the stool, then your hands go to the horn, that's that handle bit at the front. You'll put your right foot in the right stirrup, and swing your left leg over, sit, and holster your left foot in the left stirrup." And he'll stand here, hand out, just in case of slipping.
