ANSWERED... MATTHIAS

@glorywaited asked: 🏇 !! Send a 🏇 to go horse riding with my muse!

“Cassandra, this is... a terrible idea.” He hasn’t ridden a horse in years-- THOUSANDS of years. Equines certainly weren’t his favorite animals, especially after having been cursed as one by a jilted ex. It felt odd that the four hooves underneath him weren’t his own, Matthias still getting used to the fact that he was able to walk on two feet again. Hands clumsily fumble for the reins, and he quietly whispers a ‘whoa’ to his mount, the dark mare behaving like an absolute saint.

For as long as he’d spent in a horse’s body, he certainly hadn’t spent very long around... other horses.

“You know how I feel about... the equine variety.”

HE MAY BE SMALL IN THIS FORM, BUT HE’S STILL BIG ENOUGH TO DO SOME DAMAGE. Their walk had been interrupted by a group of highwaymen, armed with pistols, crude rifles-- a vast departure from the weaponry that he had been used to as a human. With no magic and only Cass’s sword to defend them, Matthias had decided to STEP UP TO THE PLATE, pushing Cassandra behind him, bolting towards the bandits and STRIKING OUT. The Marwari managed to drive a couple of them away before turning to the one that remained, their weapon raised--

The pain in his shoulder knocked him back, but he still leapt at the man, head-butting him before the crook could reload. Upon returning to all four hooves, Matthias nearly collapsed, favoring his front left, trying to keep the weight on his right side as much as possible. Dainty head and curved ears turned to Cassandra-- he almost seems to smile despite the injury. “I’m sorry, m’lady. That would have been... a lot less MESSY had I been able t-- to use MAGIC.”
