He'd like to roll his eyes at Detlef being a show-off, but it's honestly impressive. Faro gives his hand a soft squeeze in that intimate moment where the other man's speaking to him and settling in. But it seems like they've both settled on what's too much and what isn't, as Detlef skips an obvious time for a tease and Faro lets go of his hand to focus entirely on the horse and his lesson.

Now that he's not caught up in his head, Faro finds he really enjoys riding. He practices guiding her around the clearing for a little while, then back onto the road out of town. They don't go much further down it though before they turn around to return to the stables; he does have other things to do today, after all, and better to end on a high note than with exhaustion.

Marion seems content with the outing, too. No more stamping and snorting, just smooth walking and relaxed ears when he draws her to a stop in the stableyard. "Do you think she- wwould she like more short trips or weekly longer ones?"
