[ His heart all but leaps into his chest. His eyes go wide and his mouth drops open for a moment. A mistake because he's soon spitting out dirt. But he still gapes at the animal.
Ride? He's allowed to... His utterly shocked look melts into the warmest and happiest of smiles. For a moment, the years fall away from that aged face and Reinhardt looks like he's 12 again. Like he's just been given the gift he's always wanted.
He reaches up to tangle his fingers carefully into the mane. He knows how to ride now. He's grateful for that. He knows how to mount properly and how to dismount without falling. He knows how to keep his seat and make it easy for the animal. There might not be a saddle, but he'll try to keep his weight centered. He's not a small man not a light one, but this unicorn is so much larger and stronger than any horse he's ever seen. Surely... ]
Thank you again. You truly are astounding.
[ He yells it over the din and dares to mount. The wind threatens to throw him to the ground but he still pulls himself up onto the other's back before he leans forward to carefully wrap corded arms around the animal's neck to keep low on it's back. ] Head towards the treeline. There's a mobile house there.
