"As a reward for stepping out of your comfort zone." Sal chuckled softly at Mot's baffled reaction. He stayed put, controlling his mount as he needed to. It was rare for Sal to let someone else ride, but a reward was a reward and besides; he always did like letting the little ones play. "If you need help, I will---Ah." Mot started to get up on his own so he left him alone to do as he pleased.
"I have faith you will be fine." He couldn't help but notice how childlike the boil looked, which made him smile even more. It was around that time the horseman took a step back, lightly patting the Horse's flank to make it lurch into motion, nothing but a lazy walk at first.
"Don't go too far."

Mot was surprised to be getting a reward for doing something wrong. But this was a Horsemen he was talking to, right? Presumably they did a lot of terrible things, or so the rumours went.
Mot felt nervous riding the Horsemen's mount, but held out hope he'd not mess anything up. The grin remained, and he nodded back to Sal. "Just a short lap or two and I'll give him right back." Mot affirmed, lurching the mount forward into a full run.
Ah! The wind in his hair! The raw power!
*A*
Mot kept himself from yelling yeehaw this time. Must'nt make himself look like a child now.

Sal only nodded at first, but as the boil took off at a gallop he raised his hand in a lazy wave, his voice low though he had no fear of being overheard. "You'll have no cho-oice~" He sang softly, his hand eventually slipping back into his robes, staying put to watch for now.
He thought about de-summoning his mount, but he resisted; he was trying to be nice to the young justice, after all!
The emaciated horse let this new Rider guide him, but no matter how Mot urged he didn't let his real Rider get out of his line of sight for longer than a few seconds. It grunted and snorted, muscles flexing and stretching in ways that seemed impossible for something that seemed so frail and weak.
Before long the mount got tired of obeying this student rider and ignored the boil's commands or urgings entirely, instead trotting right back to Sal, lightly headbutting the Horseman's shoulder, which gained an amused snort and an affectionate neck pat in response.
"Did you have fun, Young Justice?"

Gosh but the steed got temperamental every so often. Mot mistook it for sass until suddenly he found it leading him back to Sal. The reaper grinned, hipping off the mount without difficulty, save for a small grunt upon landing.
"I did! A lot of fun~ It felt great to ride again." The reaper rubbed his neck, smile turning bashful. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Sal pat his steed's thin neck once more, receiving a huff and a mane toss in return, one that nearly smacked the horseman had he not casually shifted his weight at the right moment. With a small clap the ground opened up just in front of the horse itself, which happily trotted off towards it and disappeared as if diving into the very earth. "Now that that's out of your system...I would like for you to take note of where we are, and how quickly you got here." The distraction now out of the way, the Sage was free to continue on with his little lesson. He gestured around him, showing that they were on the opposite end of campus now, a trip that would have taken much longer had they taken the 'legal' way.

"We are.. on the other side of the now sullied lawn?" Mot quipped, shrugging in an animated gesture.

Sal sighed through his nose, reaching out to pat the Reaper's head. "Perhaps you'll understand when you're older." The Horseman could only hope, really; but he had tried, in his own way, to get Mot to think like someone else.
"Well, if you are interested in giving this a shot, I would be happy to assist you where I can." He assured the boil, admittedly quite interested as to where this little fiasco was going to go. Would he learn to think like his classmates, or would he becomes such a stickler he lost all his friends? It could go either way, and that was the most exciting part!
"Even if it is 'reporting' to me if your Teachers have no interest."

Mot didn't much care to be treated as a child from this Horsemen. The reaper leveled his burning gaze up at the taller figure with much distaste.
"Well. I fail to see what reporting the student's wrong doings to you would yield." Mot quipped with an untrusting tone.

Sal, of course, had meant no harm in what he said. He was patronizing because he cared...maybe. The burning look of distaste was met with a calm, zen-like smile; it was always so cute when they wanted to be considered adults! Adorable.
"It could work out for us both. For you, you would have practice reporting to someone. For me, I would get a better idea of what rules there are here. I am still new here after all, and I am at quite the disadvantage in this land." Sal's voice dropped, trying to make himself sound as plausibly pathetic and lost as possible. "Before I lost everything, I prided myself on knowing every single rule...it was something of my job." Mostly because you had to know the rules to break them properly. "But here...? Well, as you said earlier, it isn't like the rules are easy to find."

Mot, partially oblivious to Sal's underlying intentions, decided to take a leap of faith. "Well... I suppose. I will be graduating sometime in the near future, but from now until then I will report my encounters to you."
He didn't feel right about this at all. And he doubted any student would listen to his pleas. Maybe he could simply observe and report what he considered a broken rule.

"Very well, we have an agreement. I will come here every week from today forward, whenever I am available, and we can meet then." Sal nodded, stretching out a long thin hand towards Mot, looking to shake hands to seal the deal. "And hopefully this would make you feel better?" No more sitting and lamenting in the hallways?
