Daioh snorted in agreement then nuzzled her gently.

She smiled, scratching his forehead. She glanced over at Denis. "What's with you and Lareta?"

He shuggred, "I really don't know.. I am pretty sure she likes me. and I like her too. but I think I like someone else as well.."

She laughed. "You got it bad." She sighed, gently stroking Daiohs cheek, still looking at Denis. "Wanna go walk out on the trails?"

"Ya, sure." He smiled.

"But you're taking a crutch. You can't walk too far unsupported." She warned.

He grinned, "Fine."

She smiled. "Or we could go on the twins." She said, walking to the black and white ponies, glancing over at Denis. "I saw you on Daioh earlier. Start stretching."

He laughed, "Okay. How did we look though?"

She smiled. "Stiff." She teased. She tacked the ponies in stock saddles, handing him the blacks reigns(Charlieee).

He laughed, "I was, a little, Daioh felt great though." He took the reins, smiling at the pony.

Charlie snorted softly at Denis. Cassie led out his white sister, Penny, and mounted up outside. "These saddles are the best." She said, relaxing deep in the saddle. "The aussies sure know how to make em."

He laughed, mounting up and sighed, "Hmmm. Your right."

She grinned.

"So where are we going?"

She shrugged. "Here. There." She clucked, and Penny set off at a rolling gait. She glanced back, smiling, her eyes pulsing from her normal robin-egg blue to a bright, sparkling yellow, for only a breif moment, flashing back to blue.

He nudged Charlie a little faster, keeping him to the side of his sister but not directly beside her, his shoulder about reached the middle of her stomach.

"Its been a while since I've been out riding." She sighed, looking up at the canopy of branches that mottled the ground with sunlight.

"Me too. Why haven't you been out?"

"I've been... Pre occupied." She said, twirling a lock of hair around a finger, biting her lip. "So what have you been doing lately?"

"Just trying to get me and Daioh back in shape, and my sister got knocked up not to long ago. So know I need to help her out."

She nodded. "Welcome to the club." She murmured, sighing.

He chuckled a bit, "Yeaa. It sure is a great one."

She nodded, eyes flashing, this time electric green, but so breifly it could have been a trick of the light. "There's a new stud barn in the area."

"Really? Who owns it?"
