Were they really allowed to interact with the horses now? A smile grew on Vivian's lips. Yaaaay, finally! She had always wanted to try riding one. Well, of course she had done so before, but these ones were winged horses and that was obviously better. They were given the freedom to choose which horse they wanted to work with, thanks to their glowing pendant, which made it harder for Vivian because she was too indecisive and wanted to work with all of them if possible. But one thing's for sure: she hoped she wasn't going to work with a Thestral for the mere fact that she couldn't see it. That would've been funny, though, talking and riding an invisible horse. LOLOL.

And because she obviously can't choose one for her own good, Vivian walked along the horses while paying attention to the glow of her pendant. "Eenie... meenie... miney... mo!" she said the last word once her pendant started glowing so bright. It was directed at one lovely chestnut-coloured winged horse. She knew it was an Aethonan right away. "Guess you're the lucky stallion of the day!" She then skipped over towards her chosen-by-fate horse.

Peering at the horse's tag, Vivian smiled. "Hello there, Apollo," she said. "You're looking quite stunning today." Although the fourth year hoped that compliment would automatically gain the horse's trust, she wasn't going to just stretch her arm out just yet. Horses had TEETH, too. Hand still holding her pendant, Vivian began chanting the galdr. "Ehwo ehwo ehwo, e e e e h w o o o, ehwu ehwa ehwi ehwe ehwo, ehwo ehwe ehwi ehwa ehwu, e e e e h w o o o..." With the last syllable chanted, Apollo went towards her willingly and started sniffing the blonde.

And of course, she giggled in the process. That tickled!
