At her comment that it had been someone with her on the horse that she'd squeezed, Frodo raised his eyebrows and looked a little taken aback, flushing just a little bit pink. Well I uh...don't you be getting ideas! he cried out, Ent nobody gonna be squeezing me! he grinned then, combined with a sly wink, to show it was all in good nature. In fact, like a regular guy he'd most probably enjoy the contact, but it was awkward to admit the truth all the same. He just nodded at her name; surname was expected but the Caprica was a nice touch, it set her figure well and suited her, just like everyone's name seemed to.
Frodo only returned her laugh when she mentioned her being slow on her feet. No, no! he chuckled, eyes watering a little. He scratched the back of his head and then looked her up and down with a slow smile, the short young man dashing in his approval for her form. You're strong, that you are. Takes some turtle shells to ride a horse, mark my words. All the slip-slidin' and under-the-neaths of the workin's of a horsey takes a strong body an' a strong mind. Either tha', or the horse makes yer strong. he slipped her another wink, and from there on watched with delight as she clumsily mounted Rohan, his eyes never leaving her for fear she would make a mistake, but also to steady her own mind. He was here, and no harm would come to her.
The young man gave a sure smile, and put a hand on the horse's shoulder when the weight was thrust upon Rohan's back. He started laughing at her holding on comment and simply unwound the reins, and placed them firmly in both of her palms. Hold 'em surely, but not too tight. They're to give you confidence, and dominance over the horse, but the real thing you hold on with is your legs. he checked her girth, and stirrup length, and then stood back, watching her for a while. Try and find your balance. We don't have to move just yet. he grinned, and then he leapt astride Strider, who was rearing to go. The man walked Strider to Rohan's ride and then looked at Caprica with a sure smile. When you're ready, squeeze her gently with your calf's. Pull your right hand away from you gently to steer right, and do the same with your left to steer left. To halt, pull both hands towards your chest. his eyes blazed and he walked infront of Rohan on Strider. See if you can follow me, holler if you get left behind. And don't get too close to Strider; leave a horse's distance apart from him. To slow the horse, do little half-halts. Get it? Got it? Good. he didn't wait for an answer. It was best to bring her into it straight away. Simply, he squeezed Strider on, and they walked in a straight line ahead. Frodo didn't look behind him for the moment. Not just yet.
