Josephine smiled, laughing a bit at Raoul's warning. She wouldn't mind any, as she knew he would do nothing to hurt her even if he was rough. Her eyes closed as she lay her head against Raoul's shoulder, thoughts jumbled and her mind wandering freely.<span style="font-style: italic">"It will not be long until we have to make an appearance..."</span>"Then we should start heading back. You know how Alyxander gets when he is kept waiting." She raised her head, pecking a quick, light kiss to Raoul's cheek before pulling away a little. The sky above them was beginning to color with shades of sunset, but Josephine did not complain. She was perfectly happy with the short amount of time they'd had alone, having just wished to see the glade again after such time. "The open air has done us good. At least we go some time out here." With a smile, she pulled back completely and walked over to Saphyre. The mare snorted, sticking her head back and nudging the queen with her nose. "What is it, Saph?" A soft nicker was the only response she got, and she laughed a little as she stroked her fingertips along the horse's neck. "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." A light tease and joke lined her voice at the last part, as Josephine knew all too well that he would not be leaving her side anytime soon. Still, knowing how to get up onto a horse on her own would be useful knowledge.
