Hands on the saddle, she nods.
"Ready."
no subject
"Do not give me that look," he says, amused.
no subject
"Too late. Already did. What are you... gonna do about it?"
no subject
"At this rate, we will be punishing each other all day!"
no subject
Something like that. She takes up the reins and leans back against his chest, then urges Maximus forward and in the direction she had picked earlier. They'll start off slow for now, a leisurely walk out of and away from the castle grounds.
no subject
"It certainly does."

She had almost left, last night. Slipped out of the window to avoid being in her home knowing eventually Tim would be back and she'd have to see him again, watch his body language tell her all these things about why it was right for him to hide her loss from her. What if she had left, where would she have spent the night? If she picked Ezio's room to sneak into, how different would this morning have been?
She can feel her cheeks getting hot now, but he's behind her, he might not see. Now that they've gotten farther from the castle and the obstacles that make galloping dangerous, it's time to go faster and concentrate on horses, not men.
"Hold on."
At least she warns him before she taps Maximus' sides with her heels and the horse surges forward.

They go on like that for some time, Paradisa and less pleasant thoughts left behind her, until Cass spots what looks like a nice place to stop and eat. Ezio still hasn't had breakfast, she doesn't want him starving on his birthday, so she slows Maximus and points to a large tree that's casting a cool looking shadow over the ground.
"Is there good, to stop?"
no subject
"You tell me, you are the one in charge of this day."
no subject
"Here is good. Breakfast by lake... seems like good birthday thing."
Comfortable enough at this walking pace towards the tree, Cass shifts the reins to one hand to give it a try. She has to wonder, would watching a bunch of cowboy movies help her learn this? Watching horror movies helped her improve her stalk and terrify the bad guys skills, so maybe it's worth looking into. Once they get to the tree, she gives a gentle tug to stop Maximus. She's kind of proud of herself for getting them here with no one falling off and getting hurt.
"Hungry, Ezio?"
no subject
"Terribly, given that you didn't give me even a taste of you," he teases.
no subject
"Did you become... a zombie, on ride here?"
no subject
no subject
And she reaches for his hand even though she can get down on her own and they both know it, but it's his birthday. She's willing to allow these kinds of things today.
no subject
And then, once she's safely on two feet, he asks: "So, what is for breakfast, if not you?"
no subject
She's just sticking with the zombie thing, it's less confusing than trying to figure out what it is that he actually wants to taste.
She squeezes his hand before letting go and turning toward Maximus, digging into the saddlebag and pulling the blanket out. As an afterthought, the wine she wished for comes out too and both get handed over to him.
"Go set up blanket. Will bring rest."
no subject
He's teasing. Sort of.
no subject
"Plenty adventurous. Climbed your wall, got in bed. Looked at that." She points to his crotch, because if looking at him naked doesn't count as adventurous she has no idea what does.
no subject
"That has a name, you know! It is un pene. Cazzo. A cock. And looking doesn't matter, everyone looks if they have a chance... you'll be adventurous to me when you do more than just idly brush against it."
no subject
"Didn't brush, grabbed you. Your cock. Besides, that day... said I was adventurous. Contradicting yourself, now."

After making sure Maximus is settled and can reach the water, Cass makes her way over to Ezio and the blanket, food in hand. She'd wished for breakfast that traveled well and the castle had given her little sausages wrapped in dough, various cheeses and fruits, and a small package wrapped brown paper and tied with twine. She hands that over first.
"Wished for... Ezio's favorite food. It came wrapped, so..."
So she has no idea what it actually is, but she's very curious about what the castle would have slipped him for his birthday. It's a good thing she didn't wish for his favorite thing to eat, she realizes now. A woman would have never fit in the saddlebags.
