"Jumping is fun, and 6 feet! That's tall!" Qibli agreed, tilting his head as she took Dash away and chuckling a bit. "No it's fine, I would've done the same thing. Only if you're okay with him constantly looking at you longingly for treats now." He smiled a little, glancing at the stallion who was sticking his head over the stall door and nickering at Lisa. "I have absolutely no idea... that was supposed to take longer." Qibli sighed. Usually he would go into his cabin and play solitare, or watch a movie, or talk with Ryker.. but now he had to do something with another person, which meant entertaining both interests.

I smile at Dash who had stuck his head out of his stall and hand him a peppermint. I look at Qibli. "Trail ride? We could try to get farther into the forest? Or we could go hit Ryker up for some ideas?" I say, entertaining both ideas. And he was right. Training's supposed to take alot longer. I stretch, waiting for a reply and wondering how Desiree's doing.

Qibli laughed a little at the begging stallion, turning his attention back to Lisa afterwards. "I want to give Dash a little break, since what I did, and what you did as well, was rigorous work- for different reasons. So maybe a trail ride a little later? Anyway, I think going and smacking Ryker sounds fun, but I have a feeling that wsn't wht you meant. So asking him for ideas is the bet idea we have so far." Qibli grinned a little, patting Dash's neck.

I chuckled at his joke. "Yes. I meant let's go slap the owner of this place." I rolled my eyes, sarcasticly. Motioning for Qibli to come with me. We start walking. "And Rain isn't really tired yet damn horse. I have to work her butt off so she doesn't throw a fit in the middle of the night." I tell him, while we walk down to the office to see Ryker. I open the dorr and allow Qibli to step inside first, me coming in after him. We both walk over to two chairs and sit down. "Ohhhh Rykerrrr." I call out, giggling inwardly.

"I knew it!" Qibli smiled, looking satisifed with the answer as he walked alongside Lisa towars the office Ryker spent most of his time in. Qibli chuckled slightly at her description of the mare. "And that's why I have a stallion." He joked, but it really wasn't true. Dash was just quite calm and lazy. Any other stallion might just thrw a fit all day instead of only at night. Qibli entered into the small building, snickering a little at Lisa's words and Ryker's expression as he sat down. +++ Ryker was lost in diagramming a new indoor arena and looking at For Sale horse ads in the paper when the door opened and he got snapped out of his peaceful trance. Instead of Desiree and Qibli, this time it was Lisa and Qibli. As the girl sat down Ryker arched an eyebrow, looking suspicious. "What have you two been up to?" He asked with a tilt of his head. "And why do you sound like that? What did I do this time?"

"Nothing. We just wanted to ask if you knew of anything we could do. We both finished training and we're bored. Or I am anyway." I tell him. I wondered what he was going over but ignored it. I also wondered why Ryker and Qibli were having a stare down. I shrug, pulling out my phone and opening social media. Ah yes good ol' thirst traps, I roll my eyes. Scrolling past them as Qibli and Ryker are still staring eachother down, silently questioning. Soon enough they break eye contact and I sit up. "So?" I ask him. My phone buzzes and I take it out again. It's my ex. Ugh. I tap on the message. EX-bf (Should be blocked): Babe. I love you. Don't do this to me. Look I can get this weekend off. Please babe. I finish reading the text and burst into maniacal laughter. While I'm laughing I text back. Me: OMG! Yeah right. Lol you thought I would get back with you. Sry not sry, no. Blocking you now, 😘 I send it now just giggling and shove my phone back nto my pocket. I take a deep breath and look up remebering Ryker and QIbli were still here. Oops? They are now both just staring at me. Welp I fvcked up... Edited at November 21, 2023 03:41 PM by Black Beauty Stables

Ryker nodded. "Well, there's stalls to muck out... buut you could also go for a hike. Riding down the trails is nice, but there's a great hiking trail that goes up to a big waterfall. You could play a board game. Or a card game. Look at horses. There's a horse show going on somewhere around here, I know that. Sorry if I'm not the most helpful- I never get bored either having paperwork, horses to work, stalls to clean, or tack to polish." He smiled a little, then tilted his head as Lisa suddenly just burst out laughing. "In any case I think you should burn off energy." He joked a little before going back to looking at horse ads. +++ Qibli waited for the conversation to be over. "Thanks Ryker." He added, looking a little surprised at Lisa's sudden outburst of laughter but shrugging it off. He stood and walked back outside since the stable owner practically shooed them out, turning to look at Lisa. "Any ideas?"

(Back so sorry guys) _ {Desiree's Pov} - ""Ok phew" I said looking to Qibli after hugging him, I then walked into the office and checked in for the night, Walking to the cabin I watched as Lisa and Qibli talked, Slight jealousy kicked into me and i grew somewhat upset, I sat on my bed and gently cried to myself, Was i really this jealous over Lisa talking to Qibli, I then thought to myself about this for a while, "I thought Lisa was a Lesbian" i said to myself before playing soft music, A song of Alec Bejamin's can on which brought a smile to my face, I then changed into a tank top and shorts before i walked out and went to Phoneix's stall, I smiled to the Appaloosa Gelding and walked into his stall, I patted his soft shoulder before giving him a carrot and cleaning the muck from his stall, I gently sighed then went to go find Qibli who was just now leaving the convo he and Lisa were in, I gently smiled and tossed a strand of hair behind my ear, "Hey" i said gently and waited"

Qibli turned to see Desiree coming towards them. Maybe she would have a good idea of what to do. "Hello! How have you been?" He asked politely whilst waiting for Lisa's answer. (Sorry it is short, I'm a bit rushed on time)

I see Desiree walking over and I smile at her. Walking up to meet her and hug her. I wait for Qibli to stop asking her a question before I nod and say, "Yep that and I also rewrapped and walked the gelding. He's looking better but I'll have to continue doing that." I put my head on her shoulder, chuckling before stepping back. I get distracted by her smell. She smells like roses... It's nice. I smile to myself and don't notice Desiree and Qibli talking to me until Desiree goes, "EARTH TO LISA!" Before walking up to me and shaking me lightly. I blink, snapping out of it. "Oh, Qibli what time is it? If it's after 11 we should be able to take the horses back out for a trail ride and since Desiree's now awake she can come with us!" I smile, turning back to them. Waiting pateintly for an answer. I'm pretty sure I answered Qibli's question too.
