The sun is slowly setting beyond the horizon, the sky turning pink, orange and purple as the air slowly, slowly turns from warm to cool. Spain is now taking the time to take a rest and just enjoy his surroundings. He's not quite sure what the Hotel has planned but he likes this floor a lot. The dude ranch has a couple of his favorite things, namely

It wasn't until he lay down under a tree that she decided to join him. "Mind if I join you, Antonio?"

"No, I don't mind at all."

She shifted a bit and snuggled close to him as her eyes started to close. It had been a long day.

"I... apologize, señorita, but..." He pauses as he looks down over her head. "Have we met?"

"If you'd like to take a siesta my father has rooms available," she told him, getting down from her horse and walking over to him. Her mare following sedately behind her. "When they bring in the horses from the fields you might get a rude awakening if you stay here."

He smiles to her as he stands, brushing away at the grass and leaves that are now stuck on his clothes due to him lying down on the ground. "That's a generous offer that I think I would take advantage of. Thank you, Señorita...?"

"If you don't mind I just need to take Luna into the barn and get her settled, then I can either take you to the main house or show you around the ranch."

He inclines his head to her at that, smiling to her with a friendly smile. "Not at all. Please take your time."

Well, the loud shout and the stamping of hooves is a good, if startling, wake up call. Spain, for all his inherent laziness, is able to move quickly and think on his feet when the opportunity demands it. He quickly gets up, alert and calm, and looks towards the horse coming his way.
The best thing to do is jump out of the way, run to the stable and get on a horse to chase down the spooked horse and its poor rider. However, that'd take too long and you just never know.
"Don't scream." Spain tells the man who is hanging on for dear life, his voice loud enough to be hard but calm. He knows it sounds ridiculous but screaming will just scare the horse even more.
He waits for the horse to come even closer.

"I-I can't, this isn't exactly a pleasant situation for me!" The young man shouted, as he clung on to that thing called 'dear life' that Spain just described. But...if it was going to help...
Tsutomu closed his mouth, trying hard not to cry out or scream, but he was so scared, he couldn't help but whimper at best. Once he looked up, however...
"W-watch out! Get out of the way!" He cried out, waving his other hand.

Seeing that he's able to wave his other hand, Spain asks, "Can you reach one of the reigns?"
If Tsutomu can do that, this'll be done easier. If not, Spain will have to jump in and risk injury to himself.

Aaron had always loved animals. As a child who was too shy and quiet to be noticed or want to make himself noticed, they had often been his main company when his brother was busy. On top of that, Aaron had a particular love for horses. Being able to go horseriding...it reminded him of the cavalry and J.E.B. Stuart and despite being stuck in the hotel he finds the nostalgia atleast serves to lift his mood, even after he had returned the horse he had ridden to the stables himself.
It's because of his good mood mainly that he decides to approach Spain whereas otherwise he likely would have gone on his way rather than bother the other Nation.
"Hello there. Mind some company?"

Spain had almost completely fallen asleep when he hears the voice. He's not sure if he's heard it before but he doesn't mind the disturbance. It's probably even time for dinner anyway so it's a good thing to be woken up.
He opens his eyes and finds himself looking at... America? He's also here? The Iberian Nation blinks a bit blankly at "America."
"Not at all..." He answers, still a bit disoriented, voice a bit rough with sleep. Why does America sound different?

"I wake ya up? S'rry 'bout that, I didn' realize."
Even if despite the apologeticness he still seems in too much of a good mood to really sincerely mean it. After all, dinner wouldn't be far off, someone would've had to wake the other Nation anyway.

Sitting up gives him a good view of the sunset. It's really starting to get dark now and what's left of the sun is a beautiful sight. Spain sighs softly, contentedly. It's really nice to be out with nature like this.
