[It takes him several seconds, up to a full moment, to process that the world has ceased to spin and his body is still, hovering in the air, with his stomach still deciding whether it's worth emptying itself (which is mostly only wine, but.) He swallows heavily, pushing his stomach back where it belongs, his arms having grabbed onto --
Ah. Alucard's shirt. Surely it has wrinkled terribly under the death grip of his hands.
He rests his head on Alucard's chest so he doesn't do something dramatic, like pass out. It has been years upon years since he's fallen from a horse, and the last time he did it he ended up with a broken bone.
With his brain righting itself, he licks his lips and carefully unclaws his fingers from Alucard's finery.] I -- I'm fairly sure I agree. [Alucard really could have warned him. Though he estimates it was a great sport to watch him freewheel through the air like a fish that's flown off the hook.] I appreciate your surge of heroics. I'm quite sure that would've ended up with a broken neck and a feast for your horses.
[His shaking arms have ended up around Alucard's neck, a shift in his legs to indicate he should be. Fine. On his own two feet.] Gods, you're as fast as they are, aren't you?
