Stables - Monday Afternoon

[thinkbetterofme.livejournal.com]

Baru had somehow not needed an explanation as to whom he was. That either proved that Baru was a rather smart horse or even in this form, Faramir was still himself or at least he smelled like himself. Admittedly, he was curious now but the one person he knew to ask was not immediately approachable.

Which was perhaps the reason Faramir was exactly where he was at this moment; sitting on a pile of hay in Baru's stable with a storybook and poetry book and the schematics from today's class scattered beside him. The schematics were giving him a headache, but this was closer as to why he was here and his stubborn streak had reared its head, refusing to let him put the notes to rest.

[Open stables, open post. Sulky ranger is sulky, but stubborn to ignore it.]

"Perhaps, but I am starting to worry that an island should have so many rules," Faramir put the schematics to his side and rose up, brushing the hay from his jeans and blouse. He actually looked like he might be from this time for once.

"Rules?" Christian asked. "It seems like chaos is the rule -- that, and that everything bad wears off eventually."

"Patterns is perhaps a better word for it," Faramir agreed. "There was a reason why we'd expected it to have disappeared today. Still, I suppose it is not as bad as it could be? We are still ourselves."

"It would be worse if we didn't have our memories," Christian had to agree. "I like my body, but I'd rather be without it than without my mind."

"And hopefully we will not be like this for too much longer," Faramir agreed as he moved over to pat Baru. "Do you have a horse here or was it chance that brought you down here?"

[boho-to-be.livejournal.com]

"Just chance," Christian answered, looking a little embarrassed. "Actually -- I like to explore when I'm thinking. I'd made plans with a young lady for tonight, and I'm trying to decide how to explain the situation to her. Or should I just show up and see how it goes?"

"I have a similar habit, though I tend to go outside," Faramir confided. He absently played with Baru's mane as he considered it.

"I would go, by now she would be aware of what is happening. There is a chance that she may have been affected as well," he reasoned. "You could ask if it is too uncomfortable and make different plans for when this is over. It seems best to me not to avoid the subject."

Said the ranger who was hiding out in the stables to avoid thinking of a certain girl.

"All good points," Christian agreed. "If I just didn't show up, she might think I didn't like her -- and that's not true at all."

Faramir smiled a little. "I would not stand her up, no. At the very least you could send her a not or use one of those telephones to delay the meeting."

[boho-to-be.livejournal.com]

"I'll try to just go see her, first," Christian decided. "... 'one of those telephones.' You aren't from this time either?"

Faramir shook his head. "I believe my world would be considered rather primitive compared to this one," he said. "No telephones, airplanes, cars, television or electricity."
