"Come on.. There we go.. That's right." He coaxed the palomino on, guiding it around the riding circle. It didn't seem right. He'd galloped horses across Texas, broken all of the horses at the stable he'd worked at, and here he was, walking a stupid horse around a stupid ring, just because it had spooked and come way too close to injuring it's self.

He watched the mare's gait closely, watching for any change, any foot favouring. Wouldn't that be great. Sued because a horse spooked too easily. He stopped the horse for a moment, stroking her neck. "You on drugs or something to spook at a stationary bush.." he murmured cheerfully to her. He knew as long as he kept his tone gentle and kind, she'd never know what he was saying.

He ran a hand down her foreleg, feeling for any hotspots or refusal. There was none. He did the same for the other three legs, before standing, and staring into the horses large placid brown eyes. "I'm sorry darling, but things would never have worked between us. Our parents raised us too differently." he said somberly, as though breaking up with a girl. "But let's take one last walk to remember eachother by." he added, as pathetically as he could, clicking at the horse to keep on walking.

A young preadolescent sauntered in, her happy blue eyes looking around. She was purring some odd and off-key tune, the rude words going through her head. Nobody would want to know what they were about, but you could sometimes hear words coming out of her mouth.

Of course, it wouldn't be anything you pervs could come up with, it was a friend of her's that taught her, it was a song about rabbit hunting. Well, that was what you got for being friends with a wolf shapeshifter. Honestly, it was all they talked about, food and hunting.

Her feet never seemed to lift off the ground, her body would move, or glide through the stables, her limbs lenghtening instead of lifting off the ground. Her flowing beige dress hid her pants from view as she walked, her graceful movement being practiced to perfection.

The winter temperature didn't seem to bother her at all even if she had snow collecting in her hair and on her clothes. The girl soon found what she was looking for, one of the few ponies around. It was her's, her own Blotchedstar as she called the small isabella and white mare.

The pony's brown eyes followed her movements as the girl approached her 'horse'. It was not in a sign of wariness, but interst and slight excitement of knowing they would go outside. The pony always loved to go on walks with her mistress.

The girl let out a low welcoming neigh, imitated to perfection from the many horses around. She was soon releasing the pony from her stall, grabbing the soft rope dangling from the low wall. She would use it to hang on the small horse's neck as she never used a saddle.

Walking out of the stables, the girl soon found herself looking at a boy coming back from his walk on a mare he was talking to. A bit shy, she hid behind her horse, only her eyes and some of her hair being seen from above the pony's mane.

He noticed the girl hiding behind her pony, and a slight twinkle entered his eye as he continued to talk to the horse, pretending he hadn't seen her. "I'm telling you hun, it's for the best. You've got to believe me.." he paused as the horse sauntered along side of him. "Hmm? What's that?" he paused again. "Of course I love you. That's why I'm doing this." he stroked the mare's ear. "Besides, there's lots of other guys out there..." he paused again. "Ok, I'll admit, none quite as charming as me, but still. They're a better match." he nodded his head, breaking into a grin as he walked the horse.

His eyes flicked down to the horses legs again, and he winced. There was a bit of a limp there. "Hold on there honey. I've got to check on something." By this time, he was basically equal with the shy girl, as he pulled the horse to a stop, running a check on her legs again. This time, she snorted at him, and lifted her foreleg away from him. "That hurts, huh?.. Well, I know it hurts, but at least we all know you're alive." he tested it a bit more. "Just a sprain. We can easily fix that. And you won't have to move an inch." as he spoke, a bandage appeared in the air, and he caught it one handed, immediately wrapping the horses leg with expertise.

The girl peeked above the horse's neck, to look at the boy who was talking to his horse. The young preadolescent snorted softly at the small talk the boy was giving the mare. She resisted the urge to poke him out of his talkative mood.

Sure she did talk to her own pony and various animals, but she considered it more like communicating since the animals could actually understand what she understand. Its not like that boy could ever imitate an animal as good as she could.

''You know, '' She called to him. ''I doubt she can understand everything you tell her.''

Well, the mare probable didn't understand the words more like the tone of voice and body language. Unfolding her frame, she exited her hiding place. She maintained her pony in front of her, as a measure of protection for her and a head start if hse had to flee, he'd have to get around her mare before getting to her.

''You would be able to call her a stupid donkey, if it was in a sweet tone, she wouldn't bat an eyelash at it.'' She said again.

The young girl thought she would be a better conversation than the boy's horse, she at least could answer in a language he understood.

''Of course, I hope you wouldn't want to call such a beautiful horse a name as dishonoring as that.''

At least she thought he didn't wanted to call his horse that, but it was only a matter of opinion. She herself though her pony was more of a beauty than the boy's horse. But that was her point of view.

Ren glanced up at the girl, gold eyes making eye contact with hers. A large grin broke onto his face as she spoke. And he dipped his head in agreement. "You're right, she can't understand me, but it's much more fun than being silent." his eyes twinkled with amusement as he broke eye contact for a moment to finish wrapping the horses leg as he listened to her continuing on talking.

"She's a very beautiful animal, and I figure that she appreciates the company, even if I'm speaking in dumb human gibberish to her." he stood then, stroking the horse's neck as she turned placid eyes to stare at him. "Isn't that right?" he asked the horse seriously, reaching up a hand to stroke the horse's ear.

His eyes flicked over the pony that she was quite obviously using as a shield with approval. "However, that pony is extremely beautiful. What's her name?" he lapsed smoothely into talking about something that the girl obviously liked, as was his nature. He would probably try as hard as he could to make her smile or laugh, and doing it as sneakily as possible, would probably succeed.

The young girl smiled in return, feeling more at ease with the older boy. Sure she wasn't about to go and hug him, but she wasn't feeling threatened anymore.

''Depends, sometimes, I just want to be silent and enjoy the sounds of nature, even if I am not in a nature environment.'' She replied. ''Like right now, we aren't exactly in the middle of a forest or a beach.''

She continued to follow the other's movement, curiosity filling her gaze. She never had to bandage the legs of her horse. She usually was careful on how she treated her star, but she wasn't saying the boy didn't care for his mare.

"She's a very beautiful animal, and I figure that she appreciates the company, even if I'm speaking in dumb human gibberish to her."

''Yeah, she is probably thinking we are some kind of dumb animals and that she is the one owning us.'' She said laughing.

''Her Name is Blotchedstar, but I simply call her Star. I don't know what her last owner was thinking when he or she named her that.'' She said.
