She much preferred the slow but steady pace she normally takes, hence the name Slow Ride. But Annie knew he enjoyed galloping at a full sprint every now and then. Annie did her best to look like she was holding the reigns, but letting Neon Knight do the actual riding. Suddenly, she felt part of her jacket loosen. Without hesitation, she let go of the reigns and re-buttoned up her jacket. Looking back she noticed a young man riding close by. He couldn't have been older than twenty. His blonde hair flew in the wind as he made eye contact with her. He seemed... very afraid. Annie gave him a short wave, but the young man seemed to be trying to get away from her more than anything. [i][color=00aeef]"Was it something I said?"[/color][/i][hr][Center][b][i]IN THE MIND OF NEON...[/i][/b][/Center][hr] This isn't the first time Neon had ridden a horse. Annie had either been injured or fallen asleep on her horse numerous times before, and it was up to him to get her to safety. He'd gotten a good feel for Slow Ride over the years. He was built for stamina, and was used to traveling for a long time. He was pretty smart, too. He could usually avoid hazards on his own, but it was still a good idea to supervise. Things seemed to be going smoothly for the most part, some riders were ahead of him, many behind. But just as things seemed to be going well, he noticed Annie take her hands off the reigns. [i][color=f26522]"Aw goddammit Annie..."[/color][/i] he hissed. Annie seemed more interested in fixing her jacket than listening to him, however. Letting go of the reigns at this point wouldn't be a good idea. Hopefully, nobody would make a big fuss about it. For now he just needed to keep a lookout for danger. Perhaps a change in equipment was in order? No, not yet. They weren't in any immediate danger. [i][color=f26522]"Annie, keep a lookout for trouble. I'll concentrate on the riding. If you see anything out of the ordinary, let me know as soon as you see it."[/color][/i] Annie looked back from the boy and grabbed the reigns once more. [i][color=00aeef]"Hmm? Sorry, you say something, Neon?"[/color][/i] Annie was met with an exasperated and defeated sigh from Neon Knight. This was going to be a [i]loooong[/i] trip.
