The Stables [midmorning-onwards]

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

Aravis had a horse. She knew there were several others who had horses, too -- she'd said good morning to those horses when she'd carefully gotten Trenor out -- but she felt hers was the best. Clearly.

So, Aravis, her pockets full of apples, was carefully walking Trenor around the yard, and had located a mounting block (plus there was a little bit of fencing she could climb up, if she needed) for later.

[ARAVIS WILL GIVE HORSIE RIDES. So, um, open. I go into heeeeeavy SP at 4 EST though.]

"Why what yourself," Tahiri retorted good-naturedly.

[momslilassassin]

"Why what yourself?" Ben asked, then burst out giggling.

[weetuskenraider]

"And that's your answer, then," Tahiri said through her own fit of giggles.

[momslilassassin]

Ben giggled harder. "'snot so loud now," he confided.

[weetuskenraider]

"Did you figure out how to make them be quiet?" Tahiri asked him.

[momslilassassin]

He'd been concentrating entirely on Tahiri. "Kinda?"

[weetuskenraider]

"That's because you're really, really smart," Tahiri said proudly.

[momslilassassin]

Ben blushed again.

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri grinned and tried to hug him. "I'm glad it's quieter in your head now."

[momslilassassin]

Hugs were okay from Tahiri. "'m hungry," he admitted.

[weetuskenraider]

"Me too," Tahiri said in a conspiratorial voice. "I wanted to go out and explore so much, I forgot to see if there was a morning meal."

[momslilassassin]

"I found crackers," Ben said. "Cabinets are too tall."

[weetuskenraider]

Yeah, Tahiri was six whole years older, but not much bigger. Though she was enjoying this whole being-taller thing, because how often did that happen?

"I know," she said, pouting a little. "Maybe I can climb up and find things in there."

[momslilassassin]

"Or use a chair!" Ben said, nodding. "I can help!"

[weetuskenraider]

"We can be like a team," Tahiri agreed eagerly.

[momslilassassin]

"I like teams," Ben said. "Alone is bad."

[weetuskenraider]

"Alone is no fun," Tahiri agreed with a vigorous nod. "And you'll be a good teammate, I can tell."

[momslilassassin]

Ben beamed at her and squeezed her hand.
