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.

Qibli lifted his eyebrows and stayed silent while the girls exchanged words. He waited until a question was shot towards him before answering. "It is after 11." He answered with a light chuckle. "Yes, let's go on a trail ride. Good idea. I'll get Dash ready- meet you two at the fields!" He smiled, walking off to the stalls. Qibli patted his stallion, breathing in the scent of horses and hay. He started brushing down Dash, tacking up the stallion swiftly.

"K! Se you soon!" I say. I turn back to Desiree. "You coming? We'd love for I'd to come!" I tell her excitedly. If she doesn't come that's fine I can go with Qibli still so that's cool. I wait patiently as I study her face. Has she been crying? If so what about? I sigh dropping the subject, for now.

Qibli finished tacking Dash up, walking back outside and waiting for Desiree and Lisa. Well, he hoped both of them would come. He hadn't known them for long but he would consider both of them friends. Then again, Qibli was quite a kind-hearted soul and ready to accept anyone as a friend. He mounted the stallion and warmed Dash up, thinking. Why did Desiree look a little sad, now that he thought about it? Had she been crying? Why? Had he done something to upset her? Qibli's brow furrowed slightly as he sat on Dash, pondering thoughts and waiting for the two.

I smiled at Desiree, motioning for her to follow and walk up to the barn. Once I get inside I unlock Rain's stalls door and lead her out. Then I tie her up at some cross ropes and grab her bridle, wondering if it's to hot for a saddle. I mean she is going to want to go in the water so no saddle today. I leave her saddle behind, brushing her off and slipping off her halter. Replacing it with her bridle, before mounting and walking her out to meet Qibli. Once she gets to him and his stallion she stops Rain. "Hey Qibli, ready? I don't know if Desirees coming. But we should wait a little longer for her." I say, flashing him a smile and throwing one towards Desiree to. Eyes glinting in the light. Edited at November 24, 2023 12:15 PM by Black Beauty Stables

Qibli glances up as Lisa walks towards him on Rain, shifting slightly on Dash's bare back. "I am, and good idea. Where do you want to go?" He asked, tilting his head slightly in the way he always did when he was asking a question. Qibli's grey eyes sparkled with an inquisitive look that seemed to hold kindess and wisdom beyond his years.

"Hm, we could go to the river? Rain loves the water." I say with a smile. Leaning down to pat Rain's neck. She whinneys, impatiently. I chuckle. "We'll go in a minute girl." I tell her, straighting up and patting her butt instead.

Qibli nodded, smiling. "Sounds perfect. Dash will have to suck it up and be a stallion instead of a scaredy-cat. This totally safe horse here freaks when he sees water. I try to tell him that he drinks it every day, but he doesn't get it." He joked, scratching the stallion's withers. "Desentization time." Qibli grinned, running a hand through his blonde hair- force of habit.

I laugh at his joke. "Yeah be prepared this crazy mare splashes water at people. She'll get you soaked!" I tell him, chuckling. I run a hand over my face and through my hair, Qibli does the same. Guess we both have that problem I think. I have a question for him, I wonder if he'll mind me asking. Meh I'll ask anyway. "Qibli? Are we friends?" I ask him, bending down and resting my forearms on Rains neck and looking up at him.
