He watched her with the horse and could not help but smile grateful that he had kept the mare instead of getting rid o.f her as his father had wanted to do<br/><br/>"Raoul, could you help me get back up? I fear I may hurt her if I try mounting by myself. Then sometime you will have to teach me how to mount a horse properly, as I cannot always count on your presence."<br/><br/>"But of course m'lady" He said with a bow and a charming wink in her direction before he placed his hands on her hips and began to spin her around playfully in the air. He stopped after a moment and with her still at his mercy he kissed her lips once more before placing her  upon the top of the horse.  He mounted Onyx and once more wrapped his hands gently in the steed's mane "One good thing about it already being so late is it means the night is almost upon us..." he said with a slight smirk on his lips.
