[Luckily the bull is kind enough to lower itself for them again. Hijikata gets up in front and offers Nikkolaus a hand (but he won't be offended if he pulls himself up). The mount remains calm despite now carrying two people... so far, so good! He strokes its head some more and points at the landmark in the distance.]
To the hills, Shirobeko. Alright?
[He sure just gave it the most unimaginative name possible! But the bull doesn't seem bothered, instead standing up and unfolding its enormous wings again. It starts trotting, and Hijikata turns around to Nikkolaus, pressing his legs own against the animal's flanks while holding on to its horns with his hands (they may not be imposing, but they're big enough for this).]
Hold on to my waist!
[He's ridden flying creatures twice with others now - Medusa's Pegasus with her, and a giant butterfly with Jun - and learned that one can't afford to be embarrassed or shy when safety is so much more important. As the bull picks up speed, propelling its massive body forwards with every move, so does the wind-- and before they know it they're airborne!]
