Abby sat on the grass. "Ok I will get bored real quick. Ask me something. Anything"

Ryker waited for a second before sitting down near her. "Uhhh... I'm not a fast thinker." He said, running a hand through his black hair. "Where were you before here?"

" heaven before here. No. I'm just joking. Well... I was in Kentucky before here and before then, Oklahoma and before then, Montana. We have been wherever people need training. My dad trains horses for a living so he boards them at the closest barn and follows the horses that need training. Montana had people who were training the wild horses. Oklahoma, same type thing plus other Wuarter Horses and Mustangs. In Kentucky, fifty horses went up for auction and the auctioneer needed them atleast broke in two months. Dad got them all trained and now we are here, taking care of horses and training them. Dad let me care and train Fly Away. That is why I was so attached. She was my first accomplishment..." Abby sighed. "What about you?"

Ryler listened attentively, looking intruiged. A life with horses? That sounded nice. "Oh... me? Well, it ain't as nice as yours... although I am sorry Fly had to leave. She was a beautiful, well trained mare." He smiled a little before continuing. "Before here I was struggling through college. I actually got a bachelors degree, somehow, before stopping to come here. Since my parents were abusive, and my dad was always either gone or drunk, I tended to want to stay at school and work hard even though I was bullied. After school, starting at age 6, I went to a job washing clothes for people. Barely enough money for me to eat, but it kept me alive. I stopped that job at age 12. Then I got a job at a logging camp- instead of doing the gruntwork I kept the books. All those brutes were too stupid and I was as skinny as a bean- I could barely lift a small log. Since that job didn't take up all my time I also got a job as a stable boy at a nice stable, and that's when my love for horses started. I quiet the logging job when I went to college, and I did quiet the stable job as well- but only to get another one nearer to the college. They were so impressed with my work that they gave me Serpant... only because he had had an accident and couldn't barrel race very fast anymore. After I got my bachelor degree I stopped college for the time being, looked for a stable to board Serpant at, and here I am." Ryker finished explaining.

Abby stared up at him. "Wow. That's... I'm sorry" she shook her head. "You were six?" She stopped shaking her head and looked at him. "Well atleast your here now, right? For a while right?"

Ryker glanced at the ground. "Yeah, I was six. But I am past it now, I am here, and I've met you." He smiled a little, looking at her. "And hopefully I'll be here for a long time..."

Abby didn't think anything about what he said. She looked down then back up at him from her spot on the ground. She smiled "yeah. Hopefully a VERY long time! Although, I am thinking about one day starting up my own barn and raising my own horses. Maybe boarding a few. I would need some help you know."

(Completely overlooked it -le sob-)

"Starting your own barn sounds really fun! I'd definitely be there- it'd be the best barn anywhere." Ryker chuckled. "If that was a zig-zagged weird offline way of asking me if I could help, sure, but if not, I am silent." He joked.

( zig zagged weird offline??? Lol)

Abby smiled "yes it was" she got up. "I've already found 50 acres of land and I may or may not have already bought it..." she looked up at Ryker from under her eyelashes. "And also may or may not have already started looking at barn ideas"
