Qibli walked back to the barn, but stopped right before he got there and glanced up at the sky. It was getting late... the sun was already setting. He guessed 8 pm... maybe 8:15. Too late to ride, since Qibli wanted to get up early and ride. He entered the barn and checked on West, who was sleeping, then checked on North, who was busy seeing if the boards had any weak spots and smashing against them if they did. "Hey, girl, chill out." Qibli huffed with a slight chuckle. "Ah, how I wish I would have stuck with stallions. West is so much calmer then you." Qibli teased, and the filly acted like she understood him, pinning her ears before prancing in a circle with a snort. Qibli shook his head and ran a hand through his light blonde hair, glad he didn't have to talk to anyone yet. For around 20 years of his life people had been teasing and insulting him about his accent. Pretty much since he was three... first it was kids that laughed at him, all the way through school he was isolated because of it, then into his job... then just wherever he went. Qibli had a very deep voice with a very thick, strong Scottish accent that sounded funny in itself... but when you paired it with bright blonde hair, steely blue eyes, and a 6 foot tall figure... it was plain comical.

Ella had unpacked everything and sat on the bed and looked at the time. "One last check wouldn't hurt but at the same time I know they'll be fine" she thought to herself "and I probably should wait till tomorrow to introduce myself to some of the people here" she thought. She got up and walked outside of her cabin and lent on the rail she closed her eyes and breathed in the air and the smells surrounding the cabin. She opened her eyes and looked around at the landscape before casting a gaze over to the stables and the paddocks "now thinking about it I wish I had done this sooner" she said to herself with a slight smile before she stood up straight. She glanced around again before she headed back inside. She was keen for a fresh start tomorrow were she could just focus on her horses and introduce herself to some new people.

Qibli decided the horses were fine, now. He started the long walk back to the cabin... his was the last one in a line of maybe 35. It must have been a quarter mile walk, if not a little more. -Eh, it's good for me- He thought cheerfully, adjusting his button up long sleeve shirt and lengthening his strides. Qibli continued his walk towards the cabin, rather pleased it was so far out. The night air was fresh and beautiful, and it was peaceful outside.

After going inside her cabin Ella decided to make some food and get settled for the night herself. After she had made and eaten her food she walked into her room and got changed before she laid on her bed, she set her alarm for early the next morning before she laid on her back and closed her eyes although she didn't fall asleep she just laid there and thought about tomorrow and how she could finally get back into her routine with riding.

Qibli stopped near the edge of the forest, still a long ways from his cabin. He didn't know why, but the moon was shining, fireflies flitted around, and he felt like singing. "Lazy yellow moon comin up tonight, shinin through trees. Crickets are singin and the lightnin bugs are floatin on the breeze. Baby get ready. Cross the field where the crick turns back by that old stump row, I'm gonna take you to a special place that nobody knows. Baby get ready. Oo-oo-oo, you and me goin fishin in the dark, lyin on our backs and countin the stars, where the cool grass grows. Down by the river in the full moonlight we'll be fallin in love in the middle of the night just movin slow. Stayin the whole night through... feels so good to be with you." Qibli very gently sang the first verse and chorus of *Fishin' In The Dark* by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. He had a nice, deep, country sounding singing voice, but it was rather soft. Even though soft, it kind of rose up among the trees like a lulluby, floating through the air

Ella laid there for a while before she got up, she couldn't sleep so she grabbed her jacket and went out side. She sat down on the stairs, she looked towards the barn which seemed peaceful even the paddocks seemed peaceful at this time. The whole place seemed so peaceful of a night. She then glanced around at the other cabins, all were dark except for hers, which had the front pourch light on. It wasn't very bright but it gave Ella enough light to see. She glanced up at the stars before looking towards the the trees she watched them as they swayed ever so slightly cause a small breeze to pass through.

Qibli's voice fell silent and his tall figure grew still as he saw a door open and someone come out. He almost wished he was wearing a hat, because his light blonde hair pretty much glowed. He watched the girl for a second, staying frozen like a statue. Then Qibli slowly walked forward, towards his cabin. He finally got there and entered the door, closing it with a gentle creak behind him and walking to the bed. He was tired.. so going straight to bed sounded like a good idea. Qibli set his alarm for early in the morning, unbuttoned his shirt and slipped it off, then collapsed into bed and promptly fell asleep

Ella didn't notice Qibli walk past, as she took a big breath in before getting up she stretched before she checked the time and walked back inside her cabin. She took off her jacket before yawning and getting into bed, she made sure her alarm was set before she curled up in bed before she slowly fell asleep for the night

(Time skip to morning)

Qibli awoke to the very annoying alarm he had set. He just about smashed his phone into the wall before it would stop, then dragged himself out of bed. Qibli got dressed and left the cabin, starting the walk up the sandy lane to the stables. This was probably meant to be driven on, but he preferred walking. He walked all the way to the stables before cheerfully saying hi to his horses and getting their grains ready. He gave the grain to North and managed not to get run over, then went into West's stall. "How you doin, bud?" Qibli murmured, stroking the horses neck before exiting that stall as well and getting ready for the new day

Ella heard her alarm go off and groaned as she rolled over to turn it off, she stretched before she got outta bed and got dressed, making sure she had everything she grabbed her truck keys and left the cabin. She got into her truck before driving up to the stables, she parked next to her trailer before she got out and headed into the barn. She smiled as quin had her head over the door waiting for her, she gave the mare a scratch before she walked into the tack room to make their feeds. Once she had given them there grain she quickly mucked out their stalls before she went into the tack room. She shuffled through her gear before she pulled out fletches gear since he would be the first one to be ridden. She double checked to make sure she had everything she needed before she went and placed everything outside of his stall.
