Galt felt his heart racing, and the horse ride wasn't helping calm it down. The past hour had been taxing on him, and even though he wouldn't trade it for the world, he was on edge. The landscape passing by him with a picturesque quality a poor man might think only existed in fairy tales was adding to the sense of this being a dream. Luckily Silke's voice kept him grounded, and after a few miles on the estate, he found himself calming. 

He took a few deep breathes, and the two stopped before a copse of trees. When Silke presented him with the options. They all sounded lovely, and he weighed the options. The cabin would be interesting, but it seemed a bit too romantic after recent events. The forest was nice, but he bet they would traverse through much of it going anywhere. He supposed that just left the lake. 

"The lake sounds good to me, what do you think?" He asked. He grinned at her teasing. 

"I wouldn't have it any other way. Though I thought I had procured all the lessons I would have for today..." He asked facetiously. He almost wanted to add that she would have plenty of time to teach him riding once they were married, but he felt that would be a bit too on the nose. It was strange, but he felt this trepidation of hers almost a weakness, and from the woman he felt was impenetrable. He wouldn't dwell on it. "Just make sure to come back for me if I get lost. I'm hopeless, I swear." 

He kicked his horse into a light canter, having the beast trot around her own steed to showcase he was ready. If he could survive lessons with her brother, he could stomach a few miles ride to see a pristine lake with the lady of the house.
