With the team now on horseback, traveling through the forest became effortless. Additionally, the horseriding experience was relatively pleasant since the Obsidian Criollos welcomed their company.
The only fault worth mentioning was that remaining stable required the riders to have a decent amount of Strength, Control, and Endurance.
For this reason, Kieran offered Alice some support when he found her struggling to keep steady atop the Obsidian Criollo's back. "The secret is anticipating the jolt of the horse's every movement and finding the right amount of bounce to counteract it."
"I-I understand… but that's a little difficult," Alice muttered while looking down slightly.
Kieran cluelessly followed her gaze before coughing and looking elsewhere. The source of her struggle was her decent-sized chest, which Kieran didn't possess. No matter how much she tried to control it, the extra bounce was inevitable given her natural endowment.
