Beau walked towards Cass' stall, he breathed out a sigh, but was dry as always. He walked up to the mare and petted her muzzle as he slipped the rope halter over Cass' head. Opening the stall door he led the mare out as she nickered to him. "Hey there doll." He said and smiled slightly, as he led her to the hitching post. He already had put his grooming bag and saddle and bridle on the post. He took out the curry comb and began to brush Cass, looking around, partially hoping no one was around. Once he finished with the curry comb he took the finishing brush and went over Cass and down her legs with it. Picking up her hooves he used the hoof pick to clean out her hooves and brushed the dirt away slowly. He continued on with his usual routine, slowly, just taking his time.

Kai loosened the reins on Wasp as she rode down the path, she enjoyed it when it was just her and her horses, mostly Princess and Wasp, but today Princess was being to much of a pain so she decided to take Wasp even if he never moved that was fine with her. She smiled to her self as she let reins hang loose on the saddle horse, Wasp wouldn't go faster then a walk if anything he would stop. She let herself think some, did it bother her that she had no friends? No it didn't. Was she sad about moving? No she was happier here. Did she want friends? Nope. She didn't like talking or doing much except with her horses although she did want to see her cousin again and that was she was here to see Conner. As she walked to the edge of the barn she slowly dismounted the gelding, others saw him as a small horse but to her he pretty big. She pulled the reins off of his neck and walked slowly into the barn hopping not to disrupt any of the other horses. She didn't care about people just didn't wanna upset any horses. She stopped and saw one person but kept looking and sighed when she couldn't find Conner.

He continued over all her hooves and then brushed out her mane and worked some on her tail. She looked sleek and ready as he picked up his saddle easily and put it over her back. He did up and tightened the girth and did the chest strap. He moved the pad up some since it was too far back and then noticed a girl. A younger girl, than him at least, by the looks of it. He waved slightly, just a tad bit, not like a real wave. He coaxed Cass into the bridle and looked up slightly at the girl, not one for words.

She looked around a little more and sighed again, guess she missed him. She slipped Wasp's reins into the little loops with the breast collar and walked a little ways into the barn, she looked over to the guy who waved but didn't and smiled a little, she watched him a moment before flipping up her stirrup and tightening the girth a little more, Wasp had let out a lot of air. After that she check the chest strap and a few other things. Always one for being careful, she wasn't the type to take chances maybe that was why she didn't have many friends, almost none were actually her friends, they were Conner's or one of her other cousins not hers. But that didn't bother her, she was shy and didn't talk a lot unless you got her in the right mood then she could but mostly she was shy and didn't know how to talk to people that she knew. If she didn't know you she could pass for outgoing at times. After her tack was all checked she glanced at him one more time, maybe he had seen Conner? or heck maybe Hayden? Hayden would know where Conner was. She looked down and said as quickly as her knotted stomach would allow. "Umm... Have you seen anyone else around today?" She asked never looking up, one of her inabilities was to look someone in the eye when she talked.

He sighed and checked the girth one more time, just being careful so the saddle wouldn't slip. If it did, it would most likely end disastrous for both of them, especially Cass. He would probably kill himself if he caused her pain or anything like that, he loved his mare with all his heart. He stroked down her neck and then took the rope halters thin lead and slipped it through the chest strap metal ring and down between her legs. He clipped it on the second clip of the girth and then looked up when he heard a voice. It was that girl he saw from a few moments ago and then he tried to remember if he had seen anyone. He still had his dull, partially anti social expression, but he wasn't being completely soul less. "No, I haven't seen anyone around, are you looking for a specific person, or just people?" He asked a tad dryly, but a spark of humor peeked out of his words as he looked at her.

She looked around a little bit more, this place was nice but she liked her stable more she thought but just shrugged, horses were horses to her. She rubbed Wasp's face and checked his bit making sure it wasn't hurting his teeth it was a new headstall and bit so she wasn't sure but it all seemed to be good. She checked the leather that held her reins on and pulled them a little bit tighter just to be safe and looked to look at him when he answered her. "Uh my cousin but I guess I missed him." She said and then smiled barely still looking at the ground or at the wall and added. "Not just people, I prefer horses they don't need words." She said with a small smile rubbing Wasp's neck and then smiled more when he nickered and nudged at her pockets wanting carrots, she smiled and rubbed his face. He was her slow old man but she couldn't help but love him.

He listened to her and continued looking over Cass, doing his check points. He made sure the chin strap of her bridle wasn't too tight and made sure he could make a fist with it. He hushed and slowly petted the mare as she began to grow shy and started to move around nervously. He looked at her "I guess you did, cause I haven't seen anyone around lately, maybe he was here before I got here." He said slowly, and his expression really hadn't changed. He continuously checked over Cass, just to make sure nothing would go wrong. He kept his constant checking as he talked to her "Me too, I don't always find talking... fun, or what ever I guess." He shrugged and straightened up his back as he had been tightening the wrapping on her legs and looked at the girl. "Oh yea, I'm Beau by the way." He said, looking at her.

She bit her lip and kept her eyes on the ground and looked up for a split second, "Yeah he has like five horses so he gets busy, was my moms idea anyway." She said looking at Wasp again and rubbed him lovingly, he was a good horse for her, he didn't like most people when he was loose out in the field. She glanced up and bit her lip, "Sorry if we upset her." She said quietly talking about the mare, she nodded in agreement. "Yeah..." She said and put her arm under Wasp's neck and letting him rest his head on her shoulder, she looked for another second and nodded. "I'm Kai." She said quietly absently petting Wasp, using him for archer like always.

He looked at her, and shook his head "No, you didn't, she is just shy." He watched her and then suddenly chuckled, one of those rare moments when he showed emotion "Your a very shy person, aren't you Kai?" He asked looking at her, an amused look in his eyes. But as usual he dropped it and the looked over Cass once more. Then back to her "You going for a ride?" He asked, not Wang to just up and leave, being the rude person he was.

She felt a little relieved that she wasn't the cause of making the horse upset or at least hopped she wasn't. She looked up and then down and shrugged. "Yeah I guess I am." She said letting her head rest against Wasp's neck, horses were where she drew her strength from, they were the only ones she trusted with her heart, she barely trusted her family with that. She smiled lightly and said. "I rode over here, I don't usually ride alone. My mom kinda made it a rule." She said it with a calm clear voice, just cause she was shy to the point of being panicy around people didn't mean her voice wasn't always strong. She decided she was about to get to shy so she started checking her tack again mostly busy herself. As she worked she added, "What I meant was I rode over here from one of the other schools." She said mostly to talk or maybe cause she thought she didn't make sense the first time, she was always second guessing herself never saying what was on her mind in her head.

He looked at her and then nodded at what she said. He put his arm over Cass' neck and patted the mare. He watched her check her tack on the horse and then looked up slightly. He sighed and listened to her talk. "That's cool. I got it the first time." He said, not rudely but clearly and understanding.

She rubbed the geldings neck and ran her fingers through his short mane absently combing it in a way, before looking back to him, she didn't look at him though she watched the wall right behind him. "I'm a second guesser." She said simply matter-of-fact, it was true she always thought something she said would be dumb that someone would think her stupid for her words. Not listen or tell her she didn't know what she was talking about. She sighed and turned to Wasp, he finally noticed the other horse not that Kai and stopped fussing over his tack and nickered softly to where his nostrils just moved no sound came out. She smiled small and said, "This is Wasp since I think he was saying hi." She almost whispered it in Wasp's ear, god she hated being shy and not outgoing, even if she was outgoing she'd be a loner and quiet but this shyness got to her.

He nodded slightly, he was never a second guesser, never doubting what he said, if he ever said anything. He watched the gelding and then nodded "Yea, this is Cass." He watched her partially talk to her horse, and noticed how before she didn't look at him. She had just stared at the wall behind him. He looked at her "Are you ever going to look me in the eye?" He said, not in a rude way, but a questioning amused way. As if asking 'am I really that intimidating?' He would of smiled, but never usually did, just looked at her.

She nodded slightly when he said his horses name, it was a good name she thought. She continued to run her fingers through the gelding hair, when he asked her the question she actually did look at him but looked down quickly and fumbled for words. "I don't like to look people in the eye cause I don't usually look away, I have a habit of staring." She said as a short truthful answer. She tended to just kinda stare at things and it kinda embaressed her when she did that. She sighed and rubbed Wasp's neck still using her horses for strength to herself.

He looked at her and watched her run her fingers through the geldings mane. He listened to her "Well, by all means, stare on." He said it kind of as a joke, but shrugged. "I really don't care if someone stares, but I guess it could be kind of... embarrassing?" He ran his hand down Cass' and looked back to Kai.

Post by KM loves MUSIC and PEANUT!!!! on Jun 23, 2012 4:36:06 GMT -5
She almost laughed but ended up barely chuckling at that, she let her fingers slightly knot into the geldings cream mane, she thought a moment trying to make herself say something but wasn't sure what to say, she hated her inability to talk but finally mumbled. "Yeah... It is, I look at something and I lock onto it." She shifted her eyes from the floor to her hands, to the stalls, to his horse, to him, to the wall and darted back to her hands and said. "Without something to look at I look at everything." She never thought of that as bad though, it made her notice things about people about her gut and how to trust her instincts.

He looked at her, and just shrugged at what she said. "Well it never bothers me, I'm not around many things to lock in on." He went back to tightening a loose strap on Cass' bridle and watched the mare snort in annoyance of being stuck in her tack and just standing there. "But I guess it would make you a good hunter or something, lock in on a target, not get distracted." His as usual was as plain as it got, just words with no feeling. He watched her gaze flick around and shrugged a bit. "I see that, then you should probably focus in on one thing, too many other things to take in." He said with a shrug and patted Cass.

She just shrugged and continued to stare at her hands, she was getting annoyed now. Not at him or the horses, but at herself for letting herself get nervous around other people, she sighed and relaxed like she always did while she rode, never wanting to get tight or tense for her horses sake. She turned to her saddle and checked the stirrup which she always did since she was young and a stirrup broke and she hit her chest on a horn and the almost smacked her face on it. "Dang." She muttered to herself mostly under her breath, the stirrup was coming loose, she shrugged, oh well she could just mount on the other side Wasp didn't care about sides. She nodded absently to him, "Yeah..." Was all she said before pulling Wasp's one rein lose and said, "Well it looks like you have stuff to do, I'll stop bothering you." She said with no real feeling or care, she always kept emotion out of her voice. She clucked and had the big gelding follow her away from the other horse and she went around and got the left side slipped both her feet out of the stirrups to keep from breaking the other one.

He glanced over at her, watching her check her stirrups. He turned around and lightly leaned against Cass and listened to her. "Your not bothering me. After all, I'm supposed to be here to cut off my anti-social crap, apparently, as he states it." Oops. That slipped, he rolled his eyes at himself and watching her walk away. He looked at her "Well, if your going for a ride, maybe I could join you. Ya know, like show me the way." He chuckled lightly, for once having some emotion as he looked at her and the gelding.

She leaned down and patted Wasp's neck, she looked over at him and almost laughed but didn't just smiled a little. "Nothing wrong with being anti-social people aren't the best company." She said and pulled her reins out and crossed them leaving Wasp on a long rein. She looked at him a little surprised. "Yeah sure at least then my mom won't kill me for riding alone if she found out." She mumbled the last part a little, she didn't blame her mom for worrying but it was safe here.

He looked at her and gave a very small, rare smile. "You can say that again." He looked at her and guessed he surprised her with his dead attitude. "Cool, where do you wanna go, cause I have no clue where anything is." He patted Cass before easily swinging into the saddle and waiting for Kais answer.

She couldn't help but a small smile at what he said. "Yep." She thought a moment trying to think about where the trails all led, "Well I know a few good trails, well two actually." She smiled to herself and said, "Ones really long and is a loop, the other is short but lots of ups and downs." She said with a smile actually look at him now, horses brought her strength out, Wasp nickered and tossed his head at some grass and she smiled and let him drop to grab a bite to eat.

He thought about it and then decided on the long looped one. "I guess we could go on the long one, I'm not really in the mood for some bumpys." He almost gave a smile, it was really just the tips of his lips coming up a little. He remembered the bumpys, an series of ups and downs that he and his dad used to go fast over in the truck. He would do it by himself with the four wheeler and would just race his horses over it for fun. He thought about it and then looked back to her and waited to go on the trail.

She smiled a little and looked back at him and nodded, "Sounds good to me, Wasp is better at the loop anyway." She said turning back and pulling up his head and clucking and kicking, no go. She sighed, "Fine the hard way." She mumbled and started kicking the gelding hard till and then whacked him with the reins and he finally started walking, "Okay lazy boy." She snorted patting his neck the old gelding was the laziest thing she had ever seen but that's why she felt safe on him. She knew even if he ran he would never take off with her ever. He made her feel safe, as they walked she spotted the trial and started him towards it.

He sighed on Cass' back and patted her. He listened to her mumble and slightly heard her words. He raised an eyebrow, at first he took it as the trail would be hard. But then he saw how the gelding wouldn't go. He laughed shortly at her words, his small laugh actually filled with humor, or as much humor as he could get. He watched her struggle to get the gelding going, and even though his face was serious, his green eyes danced with amusement. He started to walk after her, and followed as she started down the trail.

She shook her head and sighed finally being able to relax on her horse, she rested her hand on the saddle horn and the other on her leg, she liked riding like this at a walk. Wasp's head was low and he seemed to be half asleep as he was already lagging almost behind the other horse now, she clucked and nudged him into a faster walk and let him stop when he wasn't falling behind anymore. She smiled and patted his neck, he was a lazy horse but she loved him. "You are a snail in a horses body ol' man." She laughed patting his rump and then just let her reins fall loose as she use both her hands to put on his rear and lean on, Wasp just kept walking like she was sitting normal, he knew where to go.

Beau could see how she began to relax, and that her posture wasn't as tight as it had been. He watched the gelding in his sleepiness, and the tips of his mouth fought to rise slightly but he pushed it back down. His green eyes were as dull as a blank paper, and his face was serious, mouth pulled into a straight line. He watched in silence as she sped the horse up so he wasn't behind him and Cass. A half smile fought and won as it appeared on his face, his eyes stayed blank though as what she said. The only change was the smile that appeared, half smile anyway. He looked at the paint mare underneath him and offered a better smile at Kai, but stayed quiet.

Kai sighed and sat up giving Wasp's golden rump a pat for which she got a snort and she had to smile a little bit, even though she was sitting upright again she still hadn't picked up the old geldings reins, she would only have to do that if she wanted to turn, he only turned when you told him too. She looked up at the sky and let some of the sunshine hit her, life was a lot better here then when she was at home that was for sure. Wasp snorted and flicked his ears back to her when she took in a deep breath and let it, this was how she liked riding, walking, enjoying the view and the peace. All her old riding partners wanted to race and talk the entire way no walking no relaxing. So this was nice, she looked down and around the trail and trees, and couldn't help the smile that spread across her face, she loved the woods. She leaned down and patted Wasp. "Now this is a good ride." She whispered into his mane so that hopefully he was the only one that could hear her.

As Beau relaxed his tightened posture, he swayed to the movement of Cass. Looking at Kai, he sighed then looked back forward. He squinted his eyes from the sun, mouth still pulled into a tight line. Sorry if I'm so silent, I don't talk too much, or at least I try not to. He didn't have any doubts to himself, and didn't mind telling the truth. He watched her bend down and whispered something but he didn't form the words just heard it lightly. With a sigh, he ran his hand over Cass' mane and looked forward. A deep sigh escaped him and he began to mumble something intelligible.

She looked back to the trail and over at him, "Trust me I'll take silent over loud mouth drunks." She said looking back to the trail ahead, "Not talking can be relaxing." She said with a smile thinking of that saying, it is better to silent and thought a fool then to speak up and confirm it. She leaned down and patted Wasp's neck loving doing stuff with him, he was her way to relax, the one horse that didn't have dangerous vices. Cause Evie liked to take off and gallop, Sharka was a little to fast once you got him running and Princess... Well Princess was Princess. She let the gelding to continue to walk at his slowed lazy pace, as they walked they started down a slight hill, "Creeks coming up." She said holding herself back in her saddle using nothing but her legs.
