He seemed confused but willing to help, she was also made nervous by the approach of the giant in their rear guard, but she had to do what she was about to try.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(247, 218, 100)">"I'll be quick, I promise."</span>She said with a warm smile that hinted at how much she appreciated his help.  He took the reins and secured her horse, both animals seeming to obey him reasonably well.  Her hands were still too full to climb so she handed him her sextant.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Hold this, carefully."</span>She cautioned as she couldn't afford to lose it.  She would have preferred back ups to all her equipment but it just wasn't possible.  With one hand free she raised it to him.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Now grab my arm tight and brace yourself in the stirrups."</span>She asked as she gripped his elbow, expecting him to do the same for her.  She tucked her time piece into a vest pocket and shoved her parchment into her cleavage.  She grabbed his belt with her other hand in a rather immodest fashion for someone she was only just meeting.  Once she felt they both had a secure grip she kicked one leg up and pulled with all her strength on his arm.  It wasn't real pretty but she managed to get up most of the way, she was stronger than she looked.  She clung tight to him, her breasts pressed and rubbed from his arm to his back side as she got herself into position.<br/><br/>Finally behind him she landed hard on the back of his saddle.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Oh that hurt."</span>She groaned slightly as her still sore bottom hit the high ridge of the saddle back.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(247, 218, 100)">"I'm Laelia by the way, I'm making our maps."</span>She managed to say as she looked around, still not really high enough to see the horizon clearly.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Hold very still." </span>She told him a bit sternly, as she put both hands on his shoulders and drew one foot up and close so she could start to stand.  She glanced behind to see the giant closing in on them.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Steady me will ya?"</span>She asked casually, her concern more for taking her first reading than any fear of either of these men.  They were after all, here to support her in bringing a decent map back to the empire, at least in her mind.  She also had a habit of treating people as if they were there to serve her needs.<br/><br/>Once she was on her feet she could see well enough.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Perfect, now hand me that."</span>She extended her left hand down expectantly towards will, impatient now that she was finally in position.  It only took her about 30 seconds to get her easterly reading.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(247, 218, 100)"> "Ok that was the easy one."</span>She said, handing him back the sextant.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Now just, excuse me." </span>For lack of a better hand hold she gripped the short hair on top of his head and shifted her position, her left leg coming over his left shoulder her pubic bone practically in his ear.  Her thighs squeezing together pressing against shoulder blade and pectoral, her foot on his saddle pommel.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Ok one more now." </span>She again took a reading then handed the device back to Will.  She scribbled on her piece of parchment then shoved it back into her cleavage.  She was about to climb down but then looked to the giant.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Be a dear won't you and just put me on my horse."</span>She again flashed a smile, the one that often had men eager to help her.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(247, 218, 100)">"Gently please."</span>She added, recalling how sensitive her poor bottom was.  As an after thought she added.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(247, 218, 100)">"My name's Laelia, but my friends call me Lia."</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:null">She then waited expectantly for the giant to fulfill her request.</span>
