After crossing half the distance, Erlos decided to take a stop at a place by the riverside as he didn't want to tire Ember too much. He was mindful that her human body was not used to such a long journey and that too on horseback.
"Miss, how about a short break by the river? You should stretch your limbs while we let the horse feed," Erlos suggested as they had already lowered their horses' speed back to a slow trot.
Ember almost let out a cheer. She was glad that she could give rest to her hurting bottom from the constant jerks. "Please, let's do that."
When they found a good spot by the riverbank, Erlos easily jumped down from his chestnut horse while Ember had to struggle to climb down that large white horse who was far much taller than her. Climbing it seemed easier than getting down from it.
Her struggle continued until Erlos reached her side. "Miss, let me help you."
Ember looked at him with an awkward gaze. "That…."
