147 Lauriel's Story

"This kid falls asleep so easily..." Lauriel commented suddenly.

He placed his index finger in front of his lips to signal Finland not to make a sound. Aleksis slept soundly on Lauriel's lap and he carefully carried her into the house. Finland cleared up their picnic blanket and followed him.

Until she was placed in her bed, Aleksis did not wake up at all. Lauriel signaled Finland to follow him out of the room. They then walked to the stable and Finland was immediately amazed to see the gallant horses inside the big stable.

"Want to explore this place on horseback?" Lauriel asked.

"Uhm... I can't ride a horse..." Finland said. She immediately felt moody. Lauriel's horses were very handsome and she imagined that exploring this beautiful farm area by horse would be very exciting.

"Later, when you come here often, I will teach you two how to ride horses. For now, you can ride with me."
