A New Beginning + One

[WindingWind]

Seth J Richards
(Only X-Larain & Drunken-Fox)

It had been a long trial, but it had been well worth it. The ride itself was hard, and exhausting for both me and my horse. No matter, we had made it, and we were well on our way to a new start.[glow=lightgreen,2,300]"We did it Sherika!" [/glow] I couldn't help but reach my hands into the air. Me and my beautiful black quarter horse had mastered the wild and come to a new beginning.

.....

Sherika lifted her back end in a playful buck, allowing a shrill Winnie escape her jet black muzzle. [glow=lightblue,2,300]"We sure did Seth! We sure did!"[/glow] The horse pranced ahead happily, while her rider laughed along with her as they entered the Wranglers Camp.

[Drunken-Fox]

Sly Xylina

Sly rubbed her eyes sleepily, wondering were the day had gone. She looked up, blinking her emerald green eyes free of sleep. The sky above was as blue as ever threw the thick branches that were a tangled above her head. Sly had rested her head again down onto the ground, thinking about possibly moving on. She had before been traveling, but stopped in the Wranglers camp to rest, she had also met others, but they seemed in a hurry to leave. Also Sly didn't mind, because she did not want to watch any wild horses become captured, for she was greatly against it.

A winnie from nearby brought her from her thoughts, and she rouse to her elbows, looking out from underneath the shade of the tree.[glow=Black,2,300]"Sweety?"[/glow] Sly crawled to her knees and looked around, and noticed her sorrel quarter horse standing nearby, no longer grazing.

...

SweetThing had been grazing happily, glad of the rest, also she knew she needed to get Sly to town. A winnie from down the road brought SweetThing to, and a startled huff escaped her. [glow=Maroon,2,300]"What now!..."[/glow] The four year old mare was not very keen on more company, but she knew Sly would welcome it, so again she would have to deal with it. All huffed up, SweetThing walked closer to Sly, and nickered softly, alerting her of company. [glow=Maroon,2,300]"Could we go before they get here?".[/glow] SweetThing knew Sly didn't understand a word she said, but she was used to talking to her much loved owner. They always seemed to know what each other meant.

[Dermot]

Would you mind, my good sir, if I were to ask you and Drunken-Fox to join you on this roleplay? You're characters sound.. intriguing

[WindingWind]

Seth

A couple minutes later and we had finaly entered the Wranglers camp, but I knew we were still a bit off from the town. So at least we were able to stop and rest for a bit. Also to my dissapointment, we were alone it seemed in the camp. I had been hoping to talk with some older Wranglers, and find out were I could make a bit of money and start my new life. Also I had money to set up, and possibly start up my own ranch, but that money was for just that purpose.

.....

Sherika slowed her pace, and the excitment of earlier faded, they were alone. Sherika snorted loadly, and rather bored, she had wanted to also talk to the horses, but she was again dissapointed, as her owner was. The beautiful quarter horse mare lowered her head slightly, but suddenly shot it up. With flared nostrils she sented the air, there was someone here. She began to bob her head happily, and then called out a greeting.

.....

The sudden jerk of Sherika's head surprised me, and caused me to look beyond, and for the first time I noticed a shape sitting under a tree. Also I noted the gorgoues sorrel horse that stood nearby, grazing freely. *Is it wild? why else would it be walking around freely?*

[Drunken-Fox]

Sly watched as a tall man entered the camp, astride a beautiful black horse, who held her head high and proud. Also he didn't seem like much of a cowboy, but rather rich. His shaggy dirty blond hair bounced slightly, as his horse trotted up, and she could tell he had spotted her. He rouse his hand in a silent greeting, and she realized she was staring in aw. The man was nothing of the sort, he was really a boy about her age, couldn't have been more than 19.
Sly sheepishly rouse to her feet and stepped out from underneath the shaded tree. She felt almost exposed as she realized she wasn't wearing her dark green traveling cloak. Her green eyes flickered helplessly at her long copper hair that plaid down her shoulder. Before she could go back to hide her hair, that she was rather embarrassed about, the boy was already beside her. Sly hooded her eyes with her hand and looked up at the boy on the horse helplessly. She had been right he was about her age, and blushing slightly, he was rather good looking. [glow=black,2,300]"Ummm....Hi"[/glow] I'm an idiot. Sly looked away dumbly and looked over toward SweetThing as if she could help.

...

SweetThing had walked away again to graze, not wanting anything to do with the hyped looking mare. Still she felt a urge to protect, and so she looked up at the horses rider. To her surprise he was fairly young, and also seemed weary of Sly.
Sweety snorted unhappily as she noticed Sly's unnerved expression, as she spoke up to the boy. All of it didn't settle well with her, and she was becoming pissed. [glow=Maroon,2,300]"Could you get that boy away from her, please." [/glow]The venom in Sweety's voice caused the playful mare to look shocked, and it made Sweety grin to herself, but she wasn't that cruel. [glow=maroon,2,300]"I'm sorry, She doesn't seem to like him, and I really don't like the looks of him." [/glow]She approached them slowly, watching the boy angrily. What was about him that triggered such danger?

[WindingWind]

Seth had ridden up, and to his surprise, and it almost angered him, it was girl about his age. The horse nearby had been with her but a pone their arrival, she had wondered back to graze. To be nice Seth lifted his hand in greeting, but he was almost reluctant to talk to her, this had not been part of the plan.
Seth was never very good with people his age, let alone girls. It angered him to see them with horses, not once had he met a girl who worked hard for the right to own one. It pissed him off to know how hard it had been for him to own such a horse like Sherika. Sure they said they loved horses, but it was more the thought of owning one that girls wanted a horse. Seth half growled to himself as he thought about it.
He had now come up to the girl, and noticed how tan she was, and was more surprised by her hair. It’s orange….? Seth lost his frustrated look and looked more closely. The girl in front of him almost looked like she had spent many hours in the sun, working. This also confused him, and he now held an interested look.

[glow=black,2,300]“Umm….Hi”[/glow]

Seth looked down at the girl, and noticed her emerald green eyes, and also noted her shyness. What was she doing out here? She look almost to small and fragile to be out here, and she didn’t look very bold. Seth almost calmed, but he still felt weary, along with his returned frustration. He swung his leg over the saddle and dismounted gracefully. [glow=LightGreen,2,300]“The name Seth J Richards… uh yours?” [/glow]Seth felt stupid for asking, but he wanted to know who she was, and what she was doing. He also now saw the dagger she has strapped to her boot.

…..

Sherika shook her head unhappily, [glow=lightblue,2,300]"Not very friendly are we?"[/glow] She almost nickered playfully, as she stood still for Seth to dismount. [glow=lightblue,2,300]"I do as he asks, he's realy not that bad. Plus! I think your girl just likes him!" [/glow]She loved to talk, and this was her first chance in a long time, so she was not going to let this chance slip away. Even if it ment pissing off a huffy mare.

Occ: I like the way you Rp better lol hope you dont mind.

[X-Larain]

X-Larain Zaltana
+
Leaf Ryder

X-Larain and Ryley walked--more of a sleep walk--into the day ahead. They felt so slow in the strange warmth that was coming. It had been awhile since they'd come down this far South, and the mild heat was terrible. Ryleys coat was still thick, causing him to sweat. He was an in-shape horse--most definetly--but he--along withX-Larain--were used to the north. He let out a sneeze as dust swirled into his nostrils. X-Larains eyes opened at the noise and she picked up the reins. Reaching back, she grasped her canvas of water. Opening it, she held it to her lips, only to suck in air. She sigh--almost growled--irritably. Ryleys ears twitched back at the sound of her. "Sorry boy," She muttered, kicking him forwards. "We're going to have to go into town." That only made her more irritated. She hated town, no, she hated other people.
X-Larain didn't think herself better then all the others, never, but she just didn't like them. It could have something to do with her wishing for the old days. Her parents had always joked when she was younger, saying she'd been born into the wrong century. She had rathered play with swords and bows than guns and games like 'cops and robbers' with the other children. Perhaps it was because she didn't belong there--that much was obvious. Everyone around her was so dark, so tan. Their eyes were either brown or hazel, with brown or dark brown hair. The boys wore baggy pants whilst the girls wore tight pants or mini-skirts. The girls always seemed to show as much of them as possible, while the boys covered themselves in layers of baggy clothing. X-Larain on the other hand wore boots, almost cowboy boot, but not quite. Her pants she loved to wear the most were brown in color and baggy. Her favrite types of shirts were something light underneath and dark on top. Even now she had a long sleeved to the middle of her forearms cotton shirt on, with a daark grey leather vest laced in front with a collar on top. And of course her ever present green cloak, the hood pulled far over her face.
Her skin, even though she had spent so long in the sun--her whole life infact-- was as pale as ever. Every year it seemed to get paler, whilst everyones elses became darker. Her eyes were an almost scary looking reddish brown color. And her hair was unusual with her skin and eyes. It was black--no more than black-- it looked like a dark blue. And she was so unusually tall, it bothered everyone around her. She shook her head and looked straight without seeming to really see anything.

.....

Ryleys eyes dropped as the sun rose in the sky. He was thirsty and hungry. But he felt bad too. He'd drank more than his far share of water, running them dry. It was easy for him to graze, but his friend had nothing to eat. Though, with her bow, she seemed to catch enough to sustain her. He could feel her on top of him barely moving, until he sneezed. Her weight shifted back and she growled. It was a normal enough soud for X-Larain, but completely unnormal for anyone else. "Sorry boy, we're going to have to go into town." She was mad. He knew of her loathing towards other people of every age. But he personaly didn't mind the town. There was many different scents there--though not all pleasent--and X-Larain seemed to get him lotss of treats, especialy if they had just set some horses free.

He pittied those poor horses that they couldn't save and shuddered inwardly at one of the only times he'd been seperated X-Larain. They'd tried freeing a small group of large stallions. One man hadn't been sleeping though and they tokk her and almost got him. For days he followed them, the wranglers, X-Larain and the captured horses. Finally, they came to a large piecce of land, a farm, and he had to wait even longer. There were two slightly older men--the ones he'd followed-- and when they got there, there was three younger men. Only a bit older than X-Larain herself, but huge. So for another couple days he waited in the shadows of the forest that surrounded their home. At nights he always heard X-Larain screaming and the men laughing. Something would break or smash and more laughing from the men would follow. They each made strange grunting noises slowly one after the other. Then one night they left again, to catch more horse. Ryley peaked his head into a window, desperate to see X-Larain, and only saw a strange lump on one f the beds. Her bruised arm came from under the blankets, with something around it, attached to the bed itself. He'd let out a whinnie and she stirred, her head barelt coming out of the blankets. There was bruises all over her face, and later he learned, her body. She had managed to take the thing off of her arm--with much difficulty-- and began to walk--no drag-- herself around the house. Her legs were weak and she could barely walk. After another night they left, freeing the horses and setting fire to the house. But that was long ago, and X-Larain was healthy again.
Suddenly, something caught his nose. There were horses and people, not many. "There's something ahead," He nickered at X-Larain, even though he knew she wouldn't know what he was saying, but rather sense it, and picked up his pace. It didn't feel dangerous to him, so he decided to walk closer. He knew a town wouln't be far from here, for he knew that this was a Wranglers Camp.

.....

X-Larains eyes strained forwards to see what she knew her horse had seen. After a few more minutes of his increased speed she could see it. A Wranglers Camp. "I guess it's a place to stop, huh boy?" She asked Ryley, patting his neck gently. With the thought of water in both there minds they raced forwards, the wind whipping at their faces. X-Larains cloak blew out behind them like a cape, though her hood stayed on her head. They saw them then. A man and a women, with two horses. "Think they could give us directions, Ryley?" She asked blankly. She wasn't looking forwards to talking to people so soon. They slowed there pace to a walk, taking in what the place looked like, in case they needed to run. The man and women seemed akward. From the short distance they now were, X-Larain could tell the man was around her height, and the women much smaller. Their features soon showed hat it was not a man and woman, but two young adults her own age. The small girls orange hair was very noticable, especially since it was so bright and went down to her waist. The man looked unhappy.[/center]

Peak-A-Boo

[Drunken-Fox]

Sly stepped back slightly as the boy dismounted, he was so much taller than her, and the look he bore didn't look to friendly. She shuddered, but soon regained herself and stood strong. Nothing has ever unerved me before! This boy is no different!

[glow=lightgreen,2,300]“The name's Seth J Richards… uh yours?”[/glow]

Sly kept her eyes solid, but she was rather surprised by the deepness of his voice. [glow=black,2,300]"Im Sly Xylina, Its nice to meet you..."[/glow] Sly reached her hand out to shake, but before he could shake they both looked away towards a sound down the road.

...

Nearby SweetThing had become quite irritated, the boy felt wrong to her, and his horse was annoying. To her great annoyance, Seth let his horse loose, not many people trusted their horses that much. [glow=maroon,2,300]"I'd stay away if I were you, I bite." [/glow]SweetThing walked back towards Sly, hoping the mare wouldn't follow.
The sound of nearby hoof beets sounded in Sweety's ears, and she lifted her head sulkily knowing another horse was arriving. [glow=Maroon,2,300]"Oh great..." [/glow]If she had been a dog she would have growled.

...

The air had seemed to clear, and Sly wasnt so weary anymore, she would have more company. SweetThing appeared beside her, and blew unhappily at her side. [glow=black,2,300]"I know youd rather be alone girl, we'll leave soon enuff." [/glow]Sly stroked the mares head lovingly, and soothed her with her voice. As if a mother crooning her child.

[WindingWind]

Sly? Xylina? She was definitely not from around here! Seth looked again as she extended her hand out to him. He was rather startled to see how sure she seemed of herself, not shy in the least, but also almost strong looking. Before Seth could take her hand he heard a low snort from down the road.
Shaking at his dusty jeans, Seth looked down the road. Great more company... He rolled his eyes angrily and then watched as Sly's horse walked up beside her.

[glow=black,2,300]"I know you'd rather be alone girl, we'll leave soon enough."[/glow]

Seth looked at Sly, his anger seemed to melt from his body as he listened to her soothing words. She really loves her horse? He looked away suddenly as she looked up at his gaze, her emerald green eyes piercing at his own brown ones. Again angry he watched the knew comer come up the path.
Astride a large, shaggy? horse was a rather tall figure, who looked as slumped and exhausted as his horse. Doesn't he own a brush! That poor animal! The thought of the horse being in this heat with that thick of a coat pissed him off, and he was already grabbing for his pack. Fishing out a curry comb and mane brush. Also grabbing for his canteen, but soon noticed the stream that ran beside them.

.....

Sherika ignored the grumpy mares comments and walked up beside her. [glow=lightblue,2,300]"I'm Sherika WildWind. May I ask your name?"[/glow] The sincerity in her voice surprised herself, she had meant some sarcasm in the question. Shrugging it off Sherika watched as another humane and horse trotted up. She swung her silky black tail at a fly while waiting.

[X-Larain]

X-Larains eyes drooped as Ryley slowly plodded forwards. The two people ahead went to shake hands but stop at their approach. The man took a quick take over of them and then became angry. The girl began to mother her horse, as if the horse didn't want company. The man turned away and began to rumage for something. X-Larain didn't care though, as she spotted a stream a few meters away from the others. She turned Ryley slightly in that direction with her legs. "C'mon, boy. You can do it." Only a few meters away from the stream and the people, X-Larain hopped off Ryley. If she hadn't been so tired she would have looked graceful leaping off of him. But her foot caught and she fell. Bringing her feet underneath her and placing her arms out, she landed in a crouch, appearing as a big dark green blob to the others. Ryleys eyes were barely opened as she led him to the stream. He dipped his head and took a long, deep drink. "Good boy," She said, her worried voice filled with relief.
Walking to Ryleys side, she began to slowly unsaddle him. Her movements were slow and tired, but she couldn't let him stand with it on. She placed it on the ground with a huff, then took off his bridle.

.....

Ryleys eyes lit up when he spotted the stream. The people had been a lot farther than he'd thought. Much farther. X-Larain clumsily jumped off of him, but there wasn't much of a difference in weight. She was nothing to him. She walked beside him until they reached the stream. Her soft words comforted him. He bent his head and began to drink from the stream, the clear water soaking his throat. He snorted and the water bubled up around his muzzle. In shock, he lifted his head, just in time for X-Larain to come and take off his bridle. It felt good to have it off. He nudged her arm with his playfully, already more energized. She smiled at him with warmth and he began to drink again.

.....

X-Larains heart lept when she saw how much more ennergy Ryley had. He nudged her and she smiled happily. As she walked back to the saddle, she trailed her fingers across his side, wet with sweat. Leaning down to her saddle bags, she began to rumage around for her brushes. She couched as dust filled her lungs, again and again. He lungs wheezed with he effort, and Ryley looked back at her. She smiled reasurringly at him and began to look for the brushes again, only coughing every now and then, and completely ignoring the other humans. Until she felt a presense near her horse and best friend. Her head turned ever so slightly towards him.

[/size]


Ewwie, sorry it sucks so bad...[/center]

[Drunken-Fox]

Sly looked up happily from SweetThing, only to find Seth staring at her. It didn't surprise her much, people were always looking at her, who wouldn't? Her hair was orange, grown down to her waist, and she was rather short and slim. Also along with that, she was strong, fast and a very kind person. Her green eyes shimmered slightly in the sun, and she smiled warmly at Seth.

Some coughing reached her ears, and Sly soon realized it was the knew person, who had went past them to the stream. Fear gripped her as the rider half stummbled off of their horse, and also to how tired they both looked. Sly reached for her own pack and ran forwards to help, bringing along her canteen.

[glow=black,2,300]"Are you ok!? Here drink this..." [/glow]Sly had grabbed the weak figure and turned him, who realy turned out to be a girl. The girl seemed much more weak than her horse, and wobbled on unsteady legs.

...

[glow=lightblue,2,300]"I'm Sherika WildWind. May I ask your name?"[/glow]

SweetThing felt confused by the kindness in Sherika's tone, and it was probibly why she answered at all. [glow=maroon,2,300]"Im... SweetThing"[/glow] No sooner had she said it, that Sly rushed off to the aid of the weary pair. Sweety looked over at the horse, and swore under her breath at how exausted he was. She walked up, lifting her head high. [glow=maroon,2,300]"Are you going to be ok? And dont worry about your girl, Sly is very kind....."[/glow] SweetThing wasn't very good at conferting others, but being with Sly had rubbed off on her, and any horse this loyal to his human was ok with her.

[WindingWind]

Before Seth could take a step, Sly was already by the weak figure, so Seth headed toward the horse, but soon thought twice. He approached the owner, intending to punch him. But startled he stumbled back, Sly had removed the hood, and revealed a women, no, a girl his age. Seth finally calmed, and almost felt foolish for acting so angry. This girl had obviously had a hard time. [glow=beige,2,300]"Do you have any food we can get made up.... Sly?"[/glow] He hated assuming they were friends, but he couldn't watch the pair so worn out. [glow=beige,2,300]"I have some canned peaches left, and beef jerky... not much for cooking though, was never a good cook!"[/glow] Lame joke dude.

Seth realized Sly was busy with the girl, so he headed toward the horse. He approached slowly, allowing himself to become calm, so not to scare him. Seth also smiled as he noticed his and Sly's horses were already nickering softly at him. Slowly he drew the exhausted horses head into his hands. [glow=beige,2,300]"Hey boy.... Sorry I don't know you're name, we'll just have to make due I guess. You were very kind though, to bring that girl this far." [/glow]Seth soothingly stroked the shaggy horses forehead, causing shed hair to fly away in the breeze. [glow=beige,2,300]"May I brush you? Le mita cola ohitika?"[/glow] Seth let the Lakota words for *My Brave Friend* roll off his native tongue. Not many people knew that he was native, due to his American accent and dirty blond hair. But he did have the height, and the natural tanned skin, so many people just thought he tanned. Also his figures looked like his American mother.

Seth began to work in clockwise strokes down the horses neck, letting the wind take his feverish fur. He wanted to know what a beautiful horse lay underneath.

.....

[glow=lightblue,2,300]"I think your in very good hands...."[/glow] Sherika nickered softly as the horse in front of her began to droop his eyes. She looked over at Seth, now remembering why she loved him so much. He was a different person when with horses, and he cared very much for her, and she knew it. Sherika also noticed how kind SweetThing was, and hoped the three could get to know each other better.

[X-Larain]

X-Larain felt something small on her shoulder and was turned around. Her hood fell back a it, revealing her pale face and strange eyes. She jerked away from the stranger in surprise, not many people approached her like this. She tripped over her saddle in her haste, and landed on her bottom. Slowly she got up, eyes flashing over to Ryley, wanting to be by him. The sorrel horse stood by him and the black mare nickered softly a few feet away. They both stared at him intently. X-Larain turned back to the person who had turned her around. It was the orange haired girl. Dusting off the dirts off her pants that were half hidden by the cloak, she stared at the figure with a guarded expression, hand sliding to her waiste where on of her daggers was. [glow=Black,2,300]"Are you ok!? Here drink this..."[/glow] She said to X-Larain. "I-" She coughed, clearing her throat, though she stayed in her half standing half crouching position. "I'm fine." She said more firmly. Then shook her head at the canteen and pushed it back towards the girl. With a clearer voice she said, "I just need some directions to town and a place nearby to keep.." She looked over at her horse, her friend. Should they know his name? "My horse, a place to keep my horse over night."
X-Larains head snapped to Ryleys, for he had lifted his head and stepped back. The man, boy, looked at her, then Ryley, then angrily back to her. She stood straight up suddnly, towering infront of the girl before her. She stared at the by with cold eyes, daringhim onwards. But he seemed to calm though, and walked over to Ryley. X-Larains eyes widened in alarm, but Ryley appearred to be peacful again. [glow=White,2,300]"Do you have any food we can get made up.... Sly? I have some canned peaches left, and beef jerky... not much for cooking though, was never a good cook!"[/glow] He called to the girl infront of her. His voice was deep and smooth, and hesitant. He walked towards Ryley now. Hey boy.... Sorry I don't know you're name, we'll just have to make due I guess. You were very kind though, to bring that girl this far." He murmured softly. 'That girl,' X-Larain thought angrily. 'I'll show just how much that girl with kill your butt buddy.' He held Ryleys head in his hands. [glow=White,2,300]"May I brush you? Le mita cola ohitika?"[/glow] X-Larain gasped at this, taking a step back. 'He's a Lakota?' She thought wonderingly. She looked intently at his face. And she could see it, just barely. His eyes were a dark, chocolatey brown. His cheekbones slightly higher than most people. But it was only noticable if one stared closely. If you didn't, he just looked like your typical American teenage tanned surfer boy. Eww.
She took her gaze off of him and began to think of her own home, with her mother and father. She wasn't naive by blood, but grew up with their beliefs and so was one by heart. Her thoughts randomly turned to what she would need in town. Water.. Food.. Some more treats for Ryley... and maybe another shirt.. Oh, and of course the vet check possibly. She sighed. There would be so many people to have to talk to. She stared down at the small. "Do you know of any town nearby?" She asked her again.

.....

Ryleys ears flickered as the girl went over to X-Larain. she didn't seem dangerous, so he didn't mind her. [glow=Brown,2,300]"Are you going to be ok? And dont worry about your girl, Sly is very kind....." [/glow]His eyes lashed up to the mare beside him and his drinking slowed. He felt filled to the maximum with water. "Yes, I feel much better now, thank-you. And I feel very... safe to have X-Larain with.. Sly, is it?" He said politely to the mare with a sheepish glance. She was his height, but slimmer. She still had muscle on her of course, and held her head high. She seemed worried, but not quite. More of a she felt she should be worried, but didn't really know how. His head jerked over to the boy human. Anger swirled around him like a cloud, and Ryley wanted to run to X-Larains side. She was much weaker than him, as were all humans, and he couldn't not be there for her. The human bot seemed to suddenly calm as he walked over towards Ryley. [glow=White,2,300]"Le mita cola ohitika?"[/glow] He asked in his deep human voice. The words reminded Ryley of his homeland and X-Larains. Her father used to call him that. He liked it. He blew air into Seths face, taking in the scent for future references.
[glow=Purple,2,300]"I think your in very good hands...."[/glow] Ryleys eyes flickered over to the black mare. She seemed cheerful, though his vision blurred slightly. He could hear X-Larain talking again and wondered if maybe they could stay here, if only for a little while.

[Drunken-Fox]

The stranger pushed her away slightly, causing Sly to back away in wonder. [glow=black,2,300]"A place for your horse?"[/glow] She thought about it for a bit, then smiling, [glow=black,2,300]"Well Im headed into town soon, I need to take SweetThing to the vet and she needs to rest to. I cant recall the name of it, but there is a barn and all the things we need.... Would you mind joining me?"[/glow] Sly stopped, realizing she was rambling, slightly flushed she reached her hand out. [glow=black,2,300]"Im Sly Xylina."[/glow]

...

SweetThing almost smiled at the, gelding? He was rather polite, considering his ordeal. [glow=maroon,2,300]"Yes, she is very kind." [/glow]Sweety looked over at Sly, remember all the unending kindness that Sly gave Sweety. Not wanting to stay quite SweetThing looked back at the gelding. [glow=maroon,2,300]"I'm SweetThing, and this is my friend Sherika."[/glow] ...Friend? Sweety was to deep in her thoughts of Sly to realize she had mentioned that her and the mare, she thought was to giddy, were friends.

...

Sly smiled as she watched Seth work at the tired horse, after realizing the girl had no intetions in touching her, she suddenly felt she needed to help. She reached into her own pack and pulled out a mane comb, but also bent over to picked up the supplies the girl had dropped. Sly gripped a hoof pick and tossed it to the girl, smiling all the while, she was still waiting for the girls name.

[WindingWind]

Seth had now had all of the horses neck done, and was working his way down his legs. He was happy when brushing a horse, but he still listened to the things going on around him.

[glow=black,2,300]Well Im headed into town soon, I need to take SweetThing to the vet and she needs to rest to. I cant recall the name of it, but there is a barn and all the things we need.... Would you mind joining me?"[/glow]

So thats what she was doing! It seemed they all had the same thing in mind, all but he was coming here to look at an old slave plantation to make into his new home. Seth continued to brush the horse, thinking about how he was going to fix the ranch up himself. [glow=beige,2,300]"So you'r going into town to? I could join you guys to, I'm looking at a ranch there, but I need to get Sherika to rest some time." [/glow]He hadn't ment to be so cherfull about it, but somthing inside him just wanted to talk to someone.
