"How could it be hard work?" He waved both hands, and with the repeated fanning, the mane on the Abraxan horse beside him fluttered up.
"Not hard at all!" He tilted his head to one side and muttered softly in addition, "These are all things I wanted to do..."
His large hands seemed to have nowhere to go. Seeing that the mane on the Abraxan horse's neck was a little messy, he hurriedly reached out and stroked it, trying to smooth it down.
