Wesley let out a very small breath, so quiet that it was probably unnoticeable. "It's fine. Not like I spend too much time with them anyway, since I can't exactly go out and herd cattle." He answered quietly, getting out of the car since they were parked. He looked around once more, went over childhood memories to refresh them in his mind, and opened the door for Ella. "Yes, we can go back now." Wesley commented, his eyes twinkling gently like they always did as he thought about different things.

Ella gave a small nod as the door was opened for her, followed with a quiet thanks. As she passed Wesley to get in the other side, she gave him a warm, and probably one of the first genuine smiles, scraping the hair out her face. By this point, as long as Wesley was there to at least help, it wouldnt all be too bad. Right? She slipped into the passenger seat of the car and waited for him to join, various thoughts flitting across her mind.

Wesley entered his side of the car, closing the door with a gentle thud and putting it into gear. He drove back quietly, thinking about what he would be doing if Ella wasn't here. Then reminding himself to be grateful he wasn't doing backbreaking work thanks to Ella being here. When they got back to the barn Wesley backed the car in with ease, shutting it off once it was in his spot. He then got out and yet again opened the door for Ella. Yes, she could do it herself, but eh... nothing bad could come of being polite.

Most of the drive home, Ella's mind had been filled with two things. Cars-it took anything to set those thoughts off- and the hospitality from Wesley. From his mood on the very first day they had met, she hadnt expected him to suddenly become so..nice. Though he had been, she half expected him to go back to how he had been before, but her thoughts were proved wrong as he held the door open after they had eventually gotten back to the ranch. She shot him a brief "thanks" and a small smile, turning round after she had gotten out to wait for him. "This may sound stupid, but uh..What do I do now?" she asked, looking down at her feet.

(My memory sucks so I forgot what time of day it is. I think it is evening? So I'll just pretend it's before supper)

Wesley nodded as Ella spoke, backing up. He was about to turn and go... maybe take care of his horses... when Ella spoke again. Wesley wheeled back around to look at her. "Well you can do a number of things. Supper will be in about an hour, so you have a bit of time. You can go read or take a walk or look at the cows or go on a horse ride or even see how long you can hula-hoop for. Don't ask me why but we have a bunch of hoola-hoops in the bunkhouse. Heck, you could even train a baby horse... or a baby cow." Wesley smiled at the end, his joking side getting the better of him. "I have to do a training session with my colt, then exercise my actual hors ebecause he isn't getting used right now."

all good))

"I think I'll pass on the hula hoops, but thank you. I might take Misty out, thats the only thing I can think of" She said with a smile, though her expression was that of slight confusion at the mention of the hula hoops. Still, at least she had something to smile about. "Good luck with the colt though" she added, giving Wesley a smile, shielding her eyes from the sun as she looked up at him.

(so sorry I haven't responded! Life has been crazy the past couple weeks)

Wesley chuckled a little with a grin on the side. "Sounds great." He commented, nodding as Ella wished him luck. "I'll need it." He snorted, striding over to the barn to grab the yearling halter and take out the prancy colt. This little fireball had to learn some manners before he became a riding horse... or a breeding horse. The colt was of good stock, bred by Wesley himself among a couple others, so he should turn out just fine. Wesley brought the horse around to the round pen, starting to exercise the colt with a smile that lit up his tanned face. He loved working with horses.
