"Then I won't stare."

He chuckled. "You do have pretty eyes though."

Another snort.

"Arigatou gozaimasu," she murmured. I sound so formal. Just 'arigatou' would work, right? She took a deep breath and looked back at him. "Did you enjoy your lesson, Taira-dono?"

Oh the topic change isn't going to slide...

Meeting her gaze, he said, with a sly grin. "Yes, I did. All three of them."

The Shinjo woman perked her brow. "Three? What do you mean, Taira-dono?"

He held up one hand, counting on his long fingers. "One, the fall. Two, the ride. Three, our conversation. All of them have been most interesting and enlightening."

Yue placed her hand beneath her cheek and did a mock impression of deep thought. "I would combine the first two, Taira-dono. Both involve horseback riding," she explained as if this was a profound truth of the universe.

"Yet both provided different applications for me to remember for later."

He placed one finger on the side of his nose. "One about what to do, one about what not."

"Sou desu ka. Then we shall settle on three lessons, Taira-dono." She was unable to contain a fit of laughter. "I am a good teacher after all! I should not have worried!"

"Indeed. Perhaps you've even managed to sneak in a lesson for yourself, in the mix."

Raising an eyebrow, he gave her a rakish grin. "So that makes four. I'm sure if we try, we could find a fifth."

She continued to laugh. "Taira-dono, we could continue to find more until the sun is gone." Hikazume, pleased by her rider's uplifted spirits, went in for a few nibbles on the man's collar. "Oh! She is being affectionate! Do not worry, Taira-dono!"

Taira sighed, and distracted the horse with scratched on the nose.

"My collar is, apparently, quite edible. This is not the first time."

"Not the first time? That is surprising, Taira-dono." Yue kept a loose grip on the reins as she watched the other two.

"When I visited the stables on my first day here, I found my collar attracted the appetites of horses. I cannot begin to fathom why."

He rubbed Hikazume's nose fondly. "They are gentle though, so I don't much mind."

"Sou desu ka." She covered her laughter at his expense with her hand. "I believe Hikazume shares my opinion on masks, Taira-dono. She wants you to forego it. The other horses may appreciate Honesty as well!"

Taira contemplated that.

"I would hate to insult Bayushi-no-kami by forgoing his example, but I may need to come up with a new solution if I am to spend time with our equestrian friends."

As they approached the stables, he added, "I'll have to let you know if I find a fitting solution."
