love should be as flowers of the weedy sort
Kamaria is still imagining what those braids look like when the invitation is given to ride Atlas, and she is so very excited to be able to experience that! Of course the answer is 'yes', so when the unicorn begins to kneel down for them, she grins so broadly it plants little dimples in her chubby cheeks.
Before she can say anything about the trick, however, Hotaru is lifting her onto his back. She gives a quiet little "Woah" in response. Trying to pay attention when instructions are given, she looks down at his mane and quickly buries her fingers into it. Normally she might falter at the thought that it could hurt him, but Hotaru says it doesn't - so she'll hold on very tightly. Truly she hadn't known what to expect but, as Atlas rises to his hooves, she feels butterflies whirl around in her stomach.
It flutters into a nervous giggle within her chest. But as Atlas walks forth through the crowd, and she grows more accustomed to the feeling of riding, her giggle becomes a happier laugh. "We're so tall, Ru!" She exclaims, glancing up over her shoulder.
"Could we go wherever we wanted to?" Ah, the dangers of a child's imagination is such that, already, she wants to explore the world. To find the tallest mountains and deepest rivers, so long as it is all from the back of a unicorn. "Even the jungle, or the mountains?"
