He offered his arm, and she took it, feeling a little silly. Odd. She hadn’t felt silly in the house or with the folks that worked here, but now was awkward. It was Luthan. He no longer acted as if she were totally repulsive, but she wouldn’t ever forget that his instincts had been against her.

With great courtesy and easy strength, he helped her into the saddle and settled behind her. The volaran nickered, and Alexa sensed again that he was pleased she rode with them. It lifted her spirits a little at leaving a place where she’d prefer to stay. To explore every room while knowing that everything in it was hers. To learn the quirks of the people who kept it comfortable and safe for her. To claim her home.

She sighed.

The volaran ran and lifted off with a whoosh of great feathered wings, rising in a large circle into the sky. Luthan moved with the beast and Alexa tried to follow his lead in how to sit, where to place her hands, how to balance her weight. It was easier this time.

Luthan gestured below. “That’s Bastien’s estate, Freehold.”

Alexa glanced down to see well-tended fields and a lot of corrals that indicated volarans. Friendly neighs and greetings came from a cluster of animals, and there was some lifting of wings. She sensed Luthan expected some comment.

“Everything looks cared for.” Even from this height she could see the flying horses were healthy and just plain beautiful.

Luthan relaxed incrementally behind her and she realized another thing that bothered her was that he was so stiff all the time. His bearing would do a rigid Marine proud.

“Bastien is a good landholder and an excellent Chevalier,” Luthan replied. It was the last he spoke during the entire trip.

The guy was odd.
