It took a little bit of doing. She seemed to think he wanted him to pet her, which was nice, actually. He wouldn't object to future petting, although if she wanted to thank him, a new doorknob would be more appreciated than petting. Not that he could actually explain that to her. And besides, he really wanted the fox in question to buy him that doorknob. It seemed more fair.
But, eventually, with a lot of tugging and suggestive stares between her and his back, she seemed to figure it out. Honestly, she acted like it was his first time being ridden. He'd been doing this for years, thank you very much, with people much larger than her. Not that she could possibly know that, but she wasn't the size of a small horse just for show.
Well.
She'd find out.
He waited until she seemed to have a pretty good grip on the thick, fluffy fur around his shoulders. He appreciated that; sometimes people went for the horns, like they were handlebars. It was much more uncomfortable. Once he was sure she was on as well as she was getting, he stood. See? Just like riding a... Hmm. Well, riding a giant dog, probably. But it worked! She'd see.
He glanced around, getting his bearings again, before setting off northeast. He started in an easy trot until he felt her grip tighten, her legs squeezing his sides. Once he could be sure she wouldn't fall off... he really started to move.
He'd clocked himself at 130 kph once. It had been a fast but comfortable running speed.
He didn't subject her to that. She'd probably become distressed. He kept to a very slow, easy lope at about half that speed. It would only take them maybe five minutes to get to the oasis this way, assuming he remembered its location correctly. Then she could get some much needed water.
He was only off by a little bit. Little too far to the right. He'd remember next time. He veered to the left, heading straight for the trees he could see shimmering on the horizon. Once he reached them, he slowed to a stop by the water's edge. He sort of just wanted to jump in, but again. Trying not to distress the not-so-delicate woman.
Hopefully she knew not to gulp. Though if explosions didn't hurt her, somehow, he figured drinking too fast wouldn't do her much harm.
