[And now she's staring up at him silently as she imagines his large torso pressed flush against her back as the horse makes its way back to the kingdom. Wrapped in his cloak, warm and tucked safely against. him. Surely she'd nod off and he'd probably laugh at her.
How awful! What a terrible thought! To be gazed upon so fondly by an enemy! Could she even bear it?]
[ Edelgard is in luck(?) for the moment, as Dimitri is currently too preoccupied with the issue of her startled mount to pay attention to any compromising stares. A distrustful horse can be a danger in its own right, but with an obviously inebriated rider taking the reins... hmm. It's not a prospect he's comfortable with.
He is, however, unabashedly comfortable with carrying her, so do forgive him if he takes a moment longer than absolutely necessary to come up with a solution to his self-inflicted conundrum? It's... for the sake of Fódlan. ]
Would you be opposed to riding with me?
[ Under different circumstances, with her body in his arms and his face so close to hers, this could almost be suspected of innuendo. ]
Do you really think I am that incapacitated that I cannot ride my own horse? I made it all the way here.
[It's not a "no" but it is a form of protest. Though to be quite fair Edelgard wasn't half as drunk when she got on the horse because she had a bit more to drink on the journey here.]
