Oh. This was... not what he expected. Wan clutched onto her shoulder so he wouldn't be tossed off by the sudden momentum forward. He'd been expecting her to fire another round of whatever that had been not charge forward to ram their opponents out of the way. But this worked too!

Riding her shoulder was a lot different than riding Mula's back or on a cloud. A little rougher all around, but he got the rhythm pretty quickly. And while she was busy ramming, he was waving a hand here and there to deflect spells cast with the few counterspells he'd learned already. They had seemed a good source of study for his first attempts and were proving very useful.

"Doing great! We're almost there!" he yelled down encouragement between castings. "That hoop is as good as ours!"
