You'll have to forgive me, I don't have much practice in having to ask for things. Can I hitch a ride on your horse? (pause pause pause.) Please?

For your information, I have. My parents attempted to get me into spots when I was younger, and so I tried a variety, including a six month stint of polo before I was kicked off the team for missing too much practice.

(That's all said rather matter-of-factly, before he's rolling his eyes just a bit. Before groaning. Oh Loki, you truly are the bearer of bad news.)

So what is there to do here?
