She chuckled as he boasted so cockily, her hand brushing her hair behind her ear as she felt he horse shift slightly under her, her legs gripping the beast before she glanced over her shoulder. “You are an ally, I simply wish to help you in any way I can.” She said softly, releasing the reins of her horse and tying them lightly around the horn of the saddle. She wouldn’t dare admit out loud that she found the wizard charming, endearing really, and perhaps quite a bit attractive. Despite his raggedy clothes and tousled mess of hair.
Maybe it was her lack of social interaction with someone who had the guts to talk to her. Or her lack of physical contact in several years. Such the burden of being a queen right? There had been rumors of his clan’s prowess. If he was indeed where he’d come from. She frowned at the thought and pushed it back, scolding herself mentally to stop acting so childish.
Grinning to himself, he rested his chin on her shoulder, “As you are my ally, Your Highness, and I would gladly help you in any way possible as well, all you’d need do is ask. I assure you I won’t disappoint~.” He cooed and laughed, once again leaning back on the horse. While he did tease her, and while he did joke and say things like that, he did mean most all of them, she was in fact, incredibly gorgeous, she had great potential as a ruler, and honestly if she had wanted or needed, he’d assist her however she wanted as long as she proved to be as decent a person as she let on.
Of course now though– he was simply teasing her because it was fun, no matter her response to it. "So, we’ve not even made it half way up the mountain, how much longer do you think we’ll be until we reach my home?“
