"I totally couldn't tell at all. Also, there are these incredible things called light switches on the wall- see this? If you flick that up, lights turn on, and the room won't be dark anymore." Ryker couldn't help teasing with a grin, exiting the room and getting the door shut on his face. "Okay, yeah you should, great idea." He snorted to the wall, going over to Serpant's stall again. As Abby came out he again looked surprised, cocking his head. "Huh- where did you- where did that- oh nevermind." He shook his head as a sign of defeat. How had Abby gotten one of his shirts? Beats him. Going back in the tackroom to help clean up, Ryker grabbed Serpant's dislodged headstall and carefully placed it on a hook. After everything looked in tip-top shape again, he went back out to comb out his horses mane and tail.

Abby spun in a circle with a grin before leaning against the stall door, watching Serpant. She skipped to Suns stall, keeping a hand on the back of her head and one hand on Suns muzzle. The mare licked her.

Ryker couldn't resist a small eyeroll. He was probably never going to fully understand Abby, but he appreciated having her as a friend. After Serpant looked like a king about to go into nation-wide western pleasure, Ryker put the halter on, leading the stallion out. "I guess there is upsides about not being able to ride heavily. Your horse can get the best grooming of his life and look absolutely adorable!" He chuckled, setting Serpant up to admire the handiwork. Seemingly knowing he was being observed, Serpant arched his neck and let out a low nicker.

Sun watched the stallion as he showed off. He nickered to him and tossed her head. Abby grabbed the mares halter and led her out

Serpant let out a whinny as Sun nickered, his ears perking forward. "Aw shush Serpant.." Ryker laughed a little, walking the horse out after Abby.

(Who should like the other first? I vote Ryker)

Abby giggled and looked at Ryker with a smile. "Sun and Serpsmt would have suck cute foals!!!" She laughed and stroked her mates neck. The dappled mare tossed her head as if she agreed

(Poor Ryker. Okay XD]

"I know. And it looks like they might be thinking the same thing." Ryker chuckled, patting Serpant's neck. The stallion had Bua head outstretched, nickering to Sun and trying to get closer. Ry looked at Abby with a smile, really just now noticing how pretty she really was. He pretty much had conditioned himself never to do that because he was only going to get hurt, but she was so.. funny and kind and awesome.

Sun stepped closer to Serpant. "Sun and Serpant sitting in a tree" Abby smiled and looked at Ryker, noticing him smiling at her. She shot him a playful look then looked away, her cooper hair hitting her face in the process. She kept her hazel eyes glued to her horse

Serpant nickered happily, his ears pricked as he touched Sun's shoulder with his muzzle before lowering his head to graze. Ryker laughed at what Abby said; he had laughed more after meeting her than he ever had in his life. When he realized Abby realized he had completely accidentally just been creepily smiling he looked away with a slight wince. He had buthcered that. Wow.

Sun gave a giddy whinny and trotted around him, her tail raised, pulling the rope from Abby's hands. She shook her head and watched at Sun made her way all the way around and stuck her head under the stallions mane. Abby about died laughing at how childish her mare was.
