He shrugged and got up behind Alice and fixed his legs between the back legs of the mantis. He put an arm gently around Alice's waist, mostly to keep her in place, in case she was to loose her gripping. "Whenever you are ready...", he said to Xander.

Alice did the same to Xander mostly to keep her balance on the mantis.

"Wow, lots of touching," he teased, "It's a smooth ride, hehe."
He clicked his tongue twice and the mantis took off, running in the direction it was told to go. The ride was indeed very smooth, the mantis's legs compensating for the speed and movement. They were at the walls within a minute, having not been far to begin with. The mantis stopped at the base of the wall, waiting for orders.
"Hold on tight, this is unusual the first couple times..." he yelled back at them and tapped the mantis's side with his legs.
The mantis started to climb up the wall, slowly at first, then got faster. In seconds it was going up the wall and over as fast as it had been running on the ground.
They reached the top of the wall, the run was just rising on the other side. Outside of the wall was vast plains, glistening with moisture and gleaming with morning light.

Alice's grip got slightly tighter around Xanders waist as the climbed up the wall. "Well we made it...." She said with a small giggle. She looked around "wow i never really been outside of the City walls."

"Xander, I am hoping your ride can go faster...", he said smiling at Alice as if asking her to play along. He was surprised when she mentioned she had never been outside the city. This should be quite an education for her then, to know what the world outside was like.

"Oh you want faster huh?" he teased back as he kicked the mantis's sides. They were on the very top of the wall, now racing down the wall. Straight down...FAST.
The wind was blowing so hard that you had to yell to be head, "Like this?" he said as he held on tight with his legs, as to no go flying off. The muscles in his thighs burned from strain.

Alice's grip around his waist got tighter as he went faster. The wind blew through her golden blond hair as the went faster and faster, "woohoo" she yelled in excitement.

Xander glanced back, grinning from seeing Alice's hair was flying into Jules face, "HAHA!"

He was a bit surprised by the burst of speed but he was also watching the way they were going, even though Alice's hair were coming in the way. He had reached back with one arm and held onto the mantis to keep himself in place.
He looked past Xander as he laughed at him and smiled. He moved his other hand from Alice's waist to around her shoulder and chest and moved her to the right along with his own body. To Xander he just said, "Watch out for the pole..."

Alice felt Jules sudden change in placement of his arm. She glared at his arm but didnt say anything.

They reached the ground in seconds, "How's that for fast?"
It would be a couple hours of riding on the mantis... she could not handle that. They would need to find another way of traveling the far distance.
"hey, I was mistaken... my mantis can't handle THREE people riding on her. Either of you, or both, have any other way of traveling the distance?" he asked, "I might have a way... but I kinda wanted that, if we needed to escape fast..."

((Uh... you didn't read my post carefully did you? You were about to be hit on the back of your head by a pole which is why I moved Alice and myself out of the way... ))

(( Shesh, nvm. It was supposed to be a street light/lamp... ))
"How very convenient Xander. You realize this now...", he said visibly irritated. "Keep you escape route. I will travel behind you. Alice, you can keep up or would you like to try traveling on that? I have a hunch he would have no problem with just you..."
