Cane pushed Iris' body against his, so she could lean on him instead of being so taut and hurting herself. He knew that she was still in pain learning how to ride a horse all day the day before, thus it wouldn't help her or him if she kept being so tense.
On the other hand, Iris licked her lips at the gesture, she was unsure if this was alright, but then when she let her weight fall on him, he didn't say anything, even when she wriggled her body to find a comfortable position, Cane still said nothing.
This made Iris smile, she could finally relax and not dread their long journey back to the Arleen city. Actually, this was way more comfortable than riding with Redmond, because she wouldn't be afraid of falling if she felt sleepy, since Cane's strong arms would keep her in place.
However, before they could reach the exit gates, someone blocked their path and made their horses almost run into him.
