[Yeah~ Mikuniguro can tell when he's being admired, and he's enjoying every second of Jion's attention.

Jion-dono is very kind and contentious, isn't he!]

It is fine. If we were galloping, it might be a bit much, but just walking will be no trouble for him.

[And he'll placate him with an apple later. Tonbokiri smoothly mounts behind Jion, spear still in hand.]

I shall steer him with my legs, so just relax as best you can, Jion-dono. If you need me to steady you, just say the word. This is your first time riding, is it not? So there is no shame in asking for some help if you need it.

Let us be on our way!

[And with a press of his legs, Mikuniguro starts walking.]

Which district do you live in? Flavo, perhaps?

[He'd said something about colour by hair colour, after all.]
