*Was sitting beside ai as she controlled the reigns of Aslan looking at ai he was confused for a few moments before speaking*

`"You have gotten really good at this hopefully I can teach you more things about the world or we learn together. There going to try and kill me lost a sword... My arms aren't working normally there going to train me until I drop."`

*He spoke softly as he mentions what he will be going through he knew his trainer and rehabilitation was going to be long and painful but worth it in the end. He made it seem like it was hell but he wasn't complaining or anything or worried just trying to explain it ysildea was sleeping in the back of the wagon.*

`"Will you help me hold the reigns... I want to help I don't want you to ride all the way afterall we need to continue. In the dark you can control the reigns but the day I want to help and I want to help a little now I want be useful."`

*She smiled fondly at his praise* "Aslan does most of the work... And since the road is straight, all I've got to do is hold them more or less" *Aslan was a smart horse. He seemed to know where they were going better than she did. But something perplexed her that made her grip tighten ever so slightly on the reigns.* "Why are we going to a place that will nearly kill you?" *She had some concerns, but he and Ysildea seemed very proud about the blood flame... She hoped they wouldn't needlessly die in the name of it.*

"You may hold **One** Reign... And I will hold the other" *This way, he could carry it with both or switch it between the two hands. Besides, this was kind of cute.* "I feel a lot safer with Ysildea with us... When it was just us you werre fighting alone." *She was worried constantly, and she knew he was exhausted for a vast majority of their travels. If they ran into bandits now, she wouldn't so much as gasp as she would stiffle a yawn. She actually hoped they would, if anything for Ysildeas sake... She did love her some murder.*

`"Oh don't say that he still needs the guidance to know which direction you want to go yes he is very intelligent however this is a path he probably never seen before and doesn't know our destination but if we were to sleep I think I'd trust Aslan to go on his own if he knew exactly where we were going."` *As he seen her arm tense s little he tilted his head slightly* `"Oh I didn't mean it literally I meant it metaphorically...? Maybe another word I don't know my vocabulary isn't that good."` *He nodded*

*As she was as dead set on holding one of reigns to make sure he didn't hurt himself he pouted but he knew it was for his own good.* `"Ok I accept! I'll do my best!"` *He said enthusiastically moving his hands over to gently hold onto one of the reigns he used both hands just in case something happens and Aslan jerks to take off it would send him writhing in pain* `"Well Ysildea she is unique... She is like a one person killing kicking butt machine! Based on what I've seen about her but I never got to see her fight though... Did you get to see her fight before? When I was fighting alone I did my best to protect you but I'm still a learning swordsman I can't win every fight but thank you for saving me when we was in that tavern when those people I fought got the best of me you saved my life..."`

*He would blush softly as he looked at his hands slightly before looking at her soft white pale face he would move slightly closer gently wrap one of his arms around her hugging her little head and body against his but not enough to make Aslan go off track.*
