Not that Dimmy would much care about such things and would probably want to be up front at the reins no matter what. But is it like a motorcycle where you often see the girl on the back with her arms around her man? Or would "ladies first" apply here, and the gentleman rides behind since there may be a greater chance of falling. I would think the front seat would be safer.
Someone told me recently that gentlemen walk on the side closer to traffic historically to catch any dirt or mud that horse-drawn carts or carriages or vehicles instead of their ladies. And that they opened doors for ladies because when outdoors ladies often had to use their hands to hold up their skirts lest they be dragged through dirt or mud.
I doubt Dimmy would care, but I think about stuff like this too sometimes, okay???
That is a good question. I imagine the smaller person would sit in front. Would they "drive" though or would the person behind slip their arms around the other to hold the reins? Kestrael would want to be the one doing the steering.
Love the historical references!
