Cilan laughed at his own stupidity. But then again, he had never been this close to a horse before, and he wasn't good at anatomy to start off. He was a phoenix, not a phoenix's husband. Although his father Luno preferred to stay at home, he was probably qualified to be a surgeon. But most of his anatomy knowledge pertained to killing methods. His wife was a phoenix, so Luno couldn't be ignorant. He had to know what he was doing.
"Clicks?" Cilan asked curiously, raising one eyebrow in confusion. He slid off the horse, landing with an ungraceful faceplant in the ground. He stood up and didn't wipe off his clothes (he would probably have to reset after getting trampled by the horse, which he was really expecting soon).
"Okay," he said with a grin. "I'm watching."
Gavotte was completely surprised that the cinnamon rolls were there. He hadn't made them. Now that was kind of creepy... somebody else in the village must have made them and left them here. "I didn't make them," he admitted with a sheepish smile. "Thank you though. I take that as a compliment."
He started eating one. "This is good," he admitted and quickly finished off the first one. "Don't worry. I'll be sure to make lots for the journey, just for you."
Now that was hot, except she was the Ice Queen, she couldn't be hot hot. It was all rather confusing. He couldn't take his eyes off Jaai though, it was like something out of Frozen.
Tentatively, he took a step onto the ice bridge. The floor was glistening slightly, even though the sky was completely dark. Cyprian was careful not to slip or slide. He would normally want to glide across like a daredevil, but Jaai had told him to be careful, and he was pretty obsessed with obeying her words. Nah. He was really obsessed.
He slowly made his way across the bridge. If he screwed up now, he was done for. Obviously he didn't screw up, though. He was a prince. He was supposed to be the best at everything, according to his dad... but wait. Cyprian wanted to do everything the opposite of his dad. So did that mean he had to suck at everything? Nah. He just had to not be the best.
"That was awesome," he said when he reached the other side. He threw his arms around Jaai and lifted her up. "I swear that's like something out of a movie. Now let's keep moving. I hope nobody came after us."
