"Well, let's get you settled in a guest room. I guess we will figure out how to get your belongings tomorrow."
( She seemed startled, almost as if she hadn't even considered such a thing. )

He turned to look at her.
"I suppose welcome home would be the right term now."
( Even she wasn't so ungrateful that she couldn't give some thanks. Her attention turned towards the home in front of them. )

( Even she wasn't so ungrateful that she couldn't give some thanks. Her attention turned towards the home in front of them. )
"See? Not too bad. You'll be able to do it without help before too long."
( Even she wasn't so ungrateful that she couldn't give some thanks. Her attention turned towards the home in front of them. )
He pointed down at the stirrup.
"Just put a foot there and then I'll help you down from there, okay?"
“S..so I just step down?”
“S..so I just step down?”
He shook his head and finally began do dismount the horse once they were at his home.
"I'll help ya down. Don't want to scare her after all."
( She was almost offended. )
“S..so I just step down?”
( She was almost offended. )
He chuckled.
"No chance in hell. You'll be staying at my home."
( She was almost offended. )
"How do you run all this on your own?"
"How do you run all this on your own?"
A small laugh as they got to the point where his house could be seen in the distance.
"How do you run all this on your own?"
He didn't push the horse to move all that fast. No need to get her in a panic or anything after all. For now they would just trot back down the mountain on the way home.
She didn't even have time to think about it before they started to move and she instinctively wrapped her arms around him. )

He would give a small smile.
"You've got this, darlin'."
She didn't even have time to think about it before they started to move and she instinctively wrapped her arms around him. )
He chuckled.
"She and I are quite acquainted."
"This thing isn't going to buck or anything since two people are on it, right?"
"This thing isn't going to buck or anything since two people are on it, right?"
"There ya go. Now push yourself back a bit and I'll get in front."
"....If you insist then I could allow you to help."
"This thing isn't going to buck or anything since two people are on it, right?"
"....If you insist then I could allow you to help."
"Think you need a bit of help."
( She indeed did not have it and failed miserably trying to hoist herself up. )
"....If you insist then I could allow you to help."
( She indeed did not have it and failed miserably trying to hoist herself up. )
"Look some people like doin the trails for tourists. I didn't know."
The man would simply shrug and get behind her.
"Alright, I'll give ya a boost if you need it."
( She indeed did not have it and failed miserably trying to hoist herself up. )
He'd turn towards his horse and back to her.
"Guessing you've never been on one of these before?"
He sighed.
"How exactly did you get here in the first place?"
( She gestured towards the horse behind them. If he had to use that animal then it means his home must be a ways from here. )
( She gestured towards the horse behind them. If he had to use that animal then it means his home must be a ways from here. )
He shrugged.
"This place is much more peaceful and I do not have the expectations of others weighing me down here."
( She gestured towards the horse behind them. If he had to use that animal then it means his home must be a ways from here. )
He would slowly get back up to his feet.
"Typically I am a man of routine and people tend to get in the way of that."
He chuckled.
( She pushed herself up to her feet. )
( She pushed herself up to her feet. )
He'd give a small nod and stick his hand out for the now empty flask.
"Guess I'll have to find you a place to crash in the house. I'm sure I can figure somethin' out."
( She pushed herself up to her feet. )
He chuckled.
"Just give it a chance. At this point what's the worse that could happen?"
He shrugged.
"Can't say all my decisions would be the right ones by any means but at least you'd get another route to try. And lucky for you I aint one of those stickler types. You do what you want and just come to me when you are stuck."
“And who would want to go through the trouble of doing that? Other than mother dearest, of course.”
( She held up a hand and mimed that it was talking. )
“Camellia, don’t talk to that girl. Do you have +
