It was the early evening, and Sammy was supposed to be on her way home from school. Buuuut...some horses in the stables have caught her eye. Her 'artistic' eye. A beautiful palomino mare was in the far right stall making silly faces, flapping her lips at Sammy on her way over. She assumed that the mare was trying to get her attention, so she just up and decided to give her some pets and scratches. There wasn't anybody around to protest so why not?

After a while the horse had turned away to eat some of her feed, and out came Sammy's sketchbook. It wasn't getting dark just yet, but she was still trying to rush through the sketch so she wouldn't make her parents worry. It wasn't her best work certainly, but Sammy hoped that maybe one day soon she could meet this mare again and redraw her. The proportions were a tad bit off this time.

Sammy thought to herself, 'Ugh...the legs look weird I can't...get them right...'
And so she kept drawing and redrawing the legs to the point where it was hard to tell if the thing on the page was a horse or some sort of tentacle/horse hybrid.

Giving up, she dropped the sketchbook and purse on the floor of the stables and put her hands up to the stall gate, watching the mare. The horse seemed rather young, maybe only a year or two old. That explained its pretty active nature earlier on...


Sammy was so focused on the horse that she didn't hear footsteps quietly echoing around the stables, even as the mare perked her ears up toward the sound.

Adria had spent the day wandering around, exploring. It had been almost two months now since her arrival and she was still trying to get her bearings on the island. Today, her wanderings had taken her close to the school. This whole island was very pretty, she thought. Lots of lovely places to go and sit and watch this little bubble of the world go by. Hearing animal noises nearby, Adria decided to follow them.

After a few minutes she realised she had come across the stables. A smile found its way onto her face as she observed the beautifully patterned horses from a distance. Then, she heard different noises, human noises. Looking over to a different part of the stable she saw a young girl drop her things on the floor. Immediately she made her way over, wondering what she was doing here by herself.

"Hey," Adria said softly, so as not to startle the girl, "are you okay?" Bending down, she gathered up the girls sketchbook and purse. She offered them out to her, but not before she looked at the page the sketchbook had been left on. "The drawing is really good, by the way," she added with a warm smile.

Sammy jumped ten feet in the air at the sudden voice (not literally of course). She fell butt first onto the floor and just stared for a moment, breathing fast. Subconsciously, little Sammy was relieved that...the person in front of her didn't have any obvious appendages that weren't normally human ones...That sounded weird coming out of her mind.


Where was her dry-erase board..? Sammy can't talk without it...She hoped to god that this person understood ASL, at least for the moment...The board is more than likely in the purse that the person was now handing to her.

She slowly got up and shakily brought her hand up to her chin, trying to say 'thank you'. She moved her hands around again trying to say, 'it's not my best work'. Her hands were shaking so much Sammy was worried that even if they did understand ASL, it'd come out as gibberish. She looked away from the kind person's face and gently tried to take her things back, slinging her purse over her shoulder and putting the sketchbook under her arm.

'I'm sorry', she said with her free hand, whilst trying to get her dry-erase board out of her purse.
