[ Viktor had mentioned he's never ridden before, and honestly, Ciri doesn't mind. She loves horses, and Viktor already seems excited to be meeting his ride for the day; the horse snuffles at his hand, nose twitching, and presses his face closer to sniff at Viktor. ]
Stable says he's very friendly, good for a first-time rider. Here, come around to the left side.
[ In the meantime, Ciri leads Nixie away a few steps and loops her lead around a nearby pole. She won't run, but she might bite if she's too close.
She returns to help Viktor tie the bags he's brought behind the horse's saddle first, showing him what she's doing all the while, happily talking about knots and saddlebags. When they're ready, she'll offer a hand for him to step on, assuming he wants a boost and not being literally lifted up onto the saddle like a child. If he does want that, though, she could probably manage. ]
You're not the first person here I've taught to ride. Though, ah, circumstances this time are much better.
