Good old horse puns.
All Nigel could see ahead was a bush and it seemed like it was jump overable. If that was a word. But the jumping just made their situation more weird. So yeah they led Nightmare around the bush. They should be almost done right?
She was patient while Nigel directed the granian around the bush, keeping her eyes on the Sowilo rune attached to the saddle. Alice noticed how its glow brightened after she'd recited the Galdr, but the magic seemed to be unsettling Nightmare, and he was acting a bit edgier than before. It wasn't difficult to hear the noises of protest coming from the horse's mouth.
"Is he okay?" The sixth year bent down a bit, trying to peer around Nigel's side to see the horse and nearly falling off int he process. Whoops.
There was a boulder ahead, and she was sure Nigel had it all under control, but with their creature freaking out... Alice patted the horse's flank as reassuringly as possible, tentative to use another Galdr in fear of upsetting him more.
... but it
would calm him down, right?
