The theme of Bridgette's tenth birthday is 'Disney Princess meets crazy artist'.

The Cooper farm has balloons out front. Inside the living room are streamers made of colourful paper. Bridgette's drawings are tacked up along the walls - which includes everything from unicorns and rainbows to red and pink lumps being gnawed on by black birds and ( Read more... )

Or horsie rides, anyway.

Oliver stands patiently by Beauregard, looking somewhat bored as Beau nibbles the nearby grass.

"What's goin' on?" Hey, Oliver! Want a clueless teenager? Because there's one here!

Oliver brightens. "Miss Belmont - hello! I'm allowing Beau to be ridden for entertainment at Miss Dubois's birthday party. She sweet-talked me into it."

In reality, she demanded his horse, and, being the helpful sort, he agreed. There was very little sweetness about it.

"Birthday party, huh?" People have parties for that, now? Whoa.

"I bet you're just lovin' that, huh, Beau?" She pats the horse's neck with a sympathetic smile.

If one were tempted to anthropomorphize Beau, one might interpret the snort he gives as a 'yeah, right'.

As it is, it's probably just to clear his nostrils so he can better sniff Sonia. Hey, he remembers her! She brought him a treat, right? Beau nuzzles her hopefully, snuffling for apples.

"I've been keeping him calm, though I haven't needed to as much as I believed I would." Oliver beams at his horse proudly. "He's been doing very well."

She's got this kind of undersized apple here. Does that work?

"So which one is Miss Dubois?" Sonia cannot be bothered to keep track of the people who are not either Like Her or Possible Dangers.

"The young blonde girl," Oliver explains, looking around - but Bridgette is inside at the moment.

"She has an invisible friend by the name of Marie. She's rather...noticeable."

Which is Oliver's covert way of saying 'loud and bossy'.

"Like, invisible, or...?" Vague gestures. It's an important distinction.

"Invisible," Oliver replies. Though Bridgette has demonstrated some supernatural ability, it's nothing that leads Oliver to think she's a medium.

Though he does add, "You might ask her yourself if you have any concerns."

She nods. Demons are definitely evil enough to try and get 'em while they're young and innocent.

"...I guess now would be a bad time, though." Doing Good and protecting humanity (and various vaguely similar and nondemonic others) is all well and good, but she would rather NOT get driven off the farm for disrupting someone's party.

Or have to be the subject of another Meeting.

"Perhaps not," Oliver agrees. "I can go with you, when you wish to discuss it with her. Perhaps a familiar face might help her be more open."

Oliver is trying, in his own way, to help Sonia out - though he doesn't really think Bridgette has anything to hide in this regard, so his tone is light.

YAY AUTHORITY. (Well, as far as SHE'S concerned, he is. Even though there're weird people here who DON'T think a priest is somewhere on the level of mayor.)

"If you think it'd help."

Oliver doesn't feel he has much authority where it counts (the whole God thing), so he's happy to help out where he can (with things that he feels don't involve much risk).

He's working on the first part, don't worry, but it's coming slower than he'd like.

"It might. Now, miss Belmont, perhaps you would like to ride Beau before miss Dubois comes out and demands another turn...?"

GRIN.

You know what's boring? Trotting around in a circle with a seven year old on your back.

When Sonia saddles up, Beau would like to do something fun. How 'bout a canter, little lady?

Re: Pony Rides no_devo_quotes May 7 2008, 19:55:48 UTC
That is, indeed, pretty fun. Let's do this cantering business!

Sonia is quite happy to let the horse take the lead for now.

Though she will be steering him back if he decides this is an excuse for going home.
