Alicia followed Harold as they walked towards Hellion. She didn't know what to expect from the horse, but since Harold was there with her, she felt safe and confident that he wouldn't allow any harm to come to her.
Harold walked within the line of Hellion's vision so as not to spook the horse, and after circling for some time, he finally walked towards it from the side, "Avoid eye contact," Harold told her quietly as they approached.
Although she wanted to ask him why, she was too focused on the task ahead to do so, and she also didn't know if it was a good time to speak, seeing how Harold was speaking so quietly. She made a mental note to ask later.
"Hold out your hand," Harold instructed once they got very close to the horse, and Alicia turned her questioning eyes on him.
"Why?" She asked in a barely audible voice. What if the horse bites her or does something to her hand.
