"Thanks." She smiled, talking a step closer to him and getting on her tiptoes to give him a light kiss. "Go get Monty tacked up, then we can leave." She said, pulling her hand away from him and quickly haltering Lucifer, pulling him out of his stall and giving him a quick groom, then throwing his tack on easily. She held his reins, waiting for Kennedy.

oooo love the new avatar and banner!)

He leaned over slightly so that Mercy could give him a kiss easier before smiling "Alright I'll be back in a few minutes" He said softly to her before turning around and heading further down the stable to where Monty was. He pulled Monty out of the stall, gave him a quick brush down, then tacked him up quickly but lightly to not hurt him. Kennedy put the bridle on Monty then lead him back down the stables to where Mercy was waiting "Are you ready?" He asked while walking up

Thanks!))

"Yep!" She grinned at him, leading Lucifer out of the barn. She held her reins and the front of her saddle in one hand, the back of the saddle in the other. She couldn't reach her foot to the stirrup from the ground, so she jumped, pulling herself up and catching her stirrup as she did so. She settled in her saddle, rolling her shoulders. "It never does get any easier." She ran a hand down Lucifer's neck, looking back at Kennedy. "I was thinking we could go for a stroll around the village, maybe do a bit of a run in some of the fields near there."

He followed at a distance, out of the barn with Mercy. He watched he mount first and held back a small chuckle at her struggle. When she finally got up he put one hand at the front and the other hand at the back of the saddle, along with a foot in the stirrup and easily lifted himself up and onto the saddle. He settled onto it while giving Monty a pat "Sounds like fun.." He said then paused while getting Monty beside Lucifer "Race you!" He beamed with a small smirk then suddenly urged Monty into a gallop

"Hey!" She giggled, urging Lucifer onward. The stallion lunged after Monty, taking a bit to catch up. She rode even with him until they got to the village, slowing Lucifer down to a walk, panting slightly.

He laughed at her shout as he heard Lucier catching up, when they got beside them he looked over and smiled at Mercy. He slowed Monty down to a walk as wel lonce they reached the village, Monty was already puffing out loud breaths of air but still had tons of energy left

"Well, that was an interesting way to start us off." She chuckled, looking around at the sparsely populated village. A few people waved at her, and she waved back. "I like this place. Its very... welcoming."

"It definitely was" He chuckled in reply to her as he urged Monty to stayby Lucifers side. Kennedy looked around the village smiling at the few people he knew before looking back at Mercy "Mhm it is, the people here are friendly.. for the most part"

"For the most part?" She raised her eyebrows at him, glancing over. "What does that mean?" She asked curiously, stroking Lucifer's neck again as he continued to make his way toward the village square. A few people were staring, maybe because they recognized her, maybe because of her striking horse, maybe because they thought she was pretty. But they were most definitely attracting attention.

Kennedy shrugged his shoulders slightly "A good handful of people here can be rude or snotty at times, but that's mostly shop keepers or men who think their better than everyone" He stated calmly while scanning the people who were obviously staring which he did not like at all. His face turned a bit sour looking as he looked out at the crowd it was mostly men or boys staring which got it blood boiling slightly
