⌛ Who: Kinn and OPEN ⌛ What: What's happening around town? ⌛ When: Throughout December (more starters will be added as needed) ⌛ Where: Nippon but the focus will be mainly on the Eastern Kingdom. ⌛ Warnings:...Duh. Alerts will be in the subject lines.
"Train?" That meant that there was something else going on other than riding? Wasn't he learning how to ride? What other training was Mingjue implying? "So, I'm not riding today?" Why get all the tack on the horse if he's just going to, what, walk it around outside?
Kinn's question confuses the Nie sect leader. Why would the man ask something like that? Did the other never train when it came to his own world? However, that confusion doesn't show on the bigger man's face," You are riding today. You're going to be trained how to ride." To him? Learning and training was practically the same. It must've been different for the other.
Kinn lets it go, figuring it's just a matter of translation from the devices. And the first obstacle was getting the horse to walk. Kinn moved forward, reins in hand, but he stopped short because his wrecking ball didn't budge. The nearly comical 'tug of war' happened when Kinn looked back at the horse, gently pulled the reins again, then frowned when the horse didn't move. His eyes flicked back to Mingjue.
Nie Mingjue had no clue what a parking brake was. That? It goes straight over his head. Though, he does pay attention to what Kinn is doing as well as where the man was standing. There was, after all, a reason that the horse wasn't budging from where it was at.
"Don't stand in front of him. If you're going to lead him then stand at his left side, not too close, but near his head or between his head and shoulders. In that position? He will know where you're at at all times. Also, make sure that your lead is not coiled or on the ground."
Kinn decided that there were way too many rules for horse riding. He frowned slightly, fixing the lead. "Why not coiled?" That was the easiest way to keep it from getting underfoot? Adjusting his position, he looked at the horse and tried to get the horse move.
There were many rules where horses were concerned. Where animals, in general, were concerned. "If you coil the lead or wrap it around your hand, the horse can feel how tight it is. If it's too tight then the horse will panic and if the horse panics then you'll get hurt. It also keeps the lead from getting under your feet. No way to trip up yourself or the horse."
He watches Kinn for a moment before moving over and instructing him on where to stand," Do not watch the horse as you walk. Once you start walking, after you're in the correct position, he will walk with you."
He's quiet as he makes the adjustments, feeling a bit foolish in the process. This is something he doesn't know and honestly, he wishes Porsche was here. He made learning new things fun.
Finally, once walking and that horse was walking with him, Kinn's worry eased up. Maybe he would be okay learning this, after all! Now it was a matter of getting to the fenced-off area for the lesson.
