3rd ♥ [Audio/Commentlog]

I'm going riding.

[Yes, her mind is made up.]

If anyone wants to come or ... Maybe could help me harness a horse, then meet me in the stables in half an hour.

[Of course, even though it's an open invitation, Kairi will be gathering up friends along the way ( Read more... )

[Xanth, being one of the people Kairi rounded up, already stands with her in the stables. He rests one hand on the wall, watching the horses as they mill about.]

S-So, um, did-- did a-anyone reply who, uh, a-actually knows h-how to ride?

[Oh, she looks hesitant. Xanth knows that feeling well.]

H--Hi. A-Are you, um. [Xanth gestures vaguely towards Talia and the horse.] H-- Here for the-- the h-horses? And-- th-the riding?

[Aara's pale face begins to pink slightly at the attention, her gaze slanted down to the stable floor.]

I am. If that's okay?

[Her gaze broadens to take in the rest of the stable now, focusing on high support beams and the shifting horses with tails and ears flicking back and forth.]

They are beautiful creatures.

[Rapunzel will answer this one.]

Of course it's okay!

[She beams, and motions the girl further in.]

They really are pretty...

[She was still a little apprehensive, but...this was going to be great fun.]

[Kairi grinned at Riku and nodded, not even the least bit abashed.]

Mhm. But I think that's everyone.

[Or it was now that Aara was here.]

So, we need to show then we're not nervous.

How do we start?

[While she knew they needed to know how the harness worked, Kairi wanted to ride.]

[Talia lets Aara approach at her own pace, feeling the girls' wariness and curiosity playing against one another in tandem. Smiling softly to herself, she directs her attention to Kairi.]

Well then, we should begin, hmm?

[She makes her way to one of the stalls, currently housing a bay gelding, and opens the gate. She clucks her tongue at the horse and he slowly plods forward, whuffling at her hand as she opens it for him. True as always, there is a small sugar cube within her palm for him to lip up.

As he chews, Talia leads the gelding forward with one guiding hand on his halter.]

Pass me the bridle?

[She takes it as it's passed to her, smiling confidently to the younglings that have gathered to learn.]

I'll just show you, and then one of you may do the same, alright?

[She demonstrates the process, speaking them through it as she goes, until the bay is bridled and standing patiently before them. Talia strokes his neck encouragingly and looks to the group as she pulls it off of him again.]Don't be intimidated by his teeth, no ( ... )

Thank you.

[Aara steps forward now, eager to learn and ride upon such a magnificent beast. She smiles at those around her, but her attention is mostly captured upon the bay, and she watches with rapt awe and memorization. Still, when asked who liked to try first, Aara could not deny her eagerness, but she calmed herself and looked to the others, not wanting to take just an amazing opportunity from those here. She would volunteer to be last, as she was patient enough for it.]
