Liberty Norris ✴ Female ✴ 1st Year | 15 ✴ CR: Ryker {when oh when...} ✴ Golden Dahlia ✴ M: Estelle | Ryker - Liberty was surprised she hadn't messsed things up yet. Usually the person she was talking either walked away or yelled at her before now. But Ryker hadn't. In fact, he seemed like he could stay and talk for 4 more hours without walking away for any reason. "Yeah, I guess you beat me there. Getting kicked off a table does not sound fun." Liberty's eyes widened when Ryker switched accents. She figured it out soon, though. With a smile of astonishment she said, "That's awesome! I can't do that! You beat me with accents too! Maybe you can teach me how to do that." Liberty glanced back to Dahlia, who was looking at Ryker curiously. "Meanwhile..." Liberty said, "Wanna go for a ride?" |

Ryker Rivera [] M [] 16 [] CR: Liberty (we're getting there) [] Dashing to Freedom [] M: Liberty - Ryker was honestly glad he had come over here to talk. In any case, it seemed like Liberty had cheered up, so that was a plus. No matter who people were... with some exceptions.. he didn't like people to be unhappy. His brain sauntered back to reality as she spoke, earning a small chuckle from him. "I have many people beat when it comes to school life sucking." He answered with a small snort to hide the slight sigh. He was definitely not the most lovable person, and almost everyone he had met made that painfully clear. At least Liberty was giving him a chance. At her widened eyes and slight astonishment, Ryker couldn't help but grin a little. "Years of practice. I have always been fascinated by accents, even considering my weird too-southern-for-Virginia drawl." His eyes twinkled, something that people noticed if they hung around him for long enough. At her question he paused for a second, surprise momentarily flitting across his face. "Sure. I'll go grab Dash." He answered, turning and walking back to the sleepy stallion's stall. Ryker just grabbed a headstall and slipped it on, not seeing a need for a saddle. |

Liberty Norris ✴ Female ✴ 1st Year | 15 ✴ CR: Ryker {gonna be soon, I hope} ✴ Golden Dahlia ✴ M: Estelle | Ryker - Liberty was happy Ryker had come over to talk. If he hadn't they probably never would have spoken again, because she was NOT one for walking up and saying something. But she had done that before. So maybe she was wrong. Could she be changing? Or had she always been like this, and it just had never come to the surface? Liberty laughed when he talked about being sad in school and his accent. She didn't say anything, though. She couldn't think of anything to say. So when Ryker said he would go on a ride, Liberty also didn't say anything. She just grabbed Dahlia's bridle and put it on. The mare stood still as the bit slipped into her mouth, and followed obidiently as Liberty led her out of the stall. "Where do you wanna go?" Liberty asked Ryker. - (Gotta go now, bye!) |

Ryker Rivera [] M [] 16 [] CR: Liberty (we're getting there) [] Dashing to Freedom [] M: Liberty - Ryker ran his fingers through Dash's thick black mane once before leading the stallion outside and hopping on. "I know there are some good trails back here.. I think they lead to a small pond? I've been wanting to check it out." He answered her question about where to go, then had Dash walk that way, behind the barns and into the woods. The chirping of birds could be heard, and the sun filtered through the green leaves, casting a pretty shadowy light on the trail. The trail itself was mostly soft dirt with wildflowers spattered in the trees. All in all it was beautiful and peaceful. "I think I may have a new favorite trail." He commented with a small smile before pushing himself to continue. "Where did you live before here? Still on Virginia?" Ryker asked curiously, though he did hope if Liberty didn't talk that she'd be fine riding in silence. He sure would be, for a while, but he didn't want it to seem like He wasn't interested. |

Liberty Norris ✴ Female ✴ 1st Year | 15 ✴ CR: Ryker {closer...!} ✴ Golden Dahlia ✴ M: Estelle | Ryker - Liberty nodded at Ryker's idea. It sounded good to her. She led Dahlia to a fence, climbed it, and hopped on. She followed Ryker to the trail. It was a gorgeous path, with flowers and trees scattered around. Birds chirped everywhere she listened, and the sounds of the school faded behind her. Liberty half wanted to just sit there and ride in silence, enjoying the beauty. But she also thought a silent ride might be a little awkward. So at the same time Ryker said, 'Where did you live before here? Still on Virginia?', Liberty said, Do you have any siblings?" Then, a little embarrassed, she said, "Sorry. You go." - Dahlia was walking behind Dash, but Liberty soon urged her forward to walk closer beside the other horse. Dahlia didn't object. She seemed to like Dash, which surprised Liberty a little. Dahlia normally took a while to warm up to horses, but she was just fine now. |

Ryker Rivera [] M [] 16 [] CR Liberty (sooo close) [] Dashing to Freedom [] M: Liberty Ryker lifted his dark blue gaze to the treetops, where birds flitted and squirrels chirped. As the ambled along the trail grew a little narrower, casting the ground in a soft, cool shadow- not uninviting, but rather comfortable, guarding them from the warm sunlight. At Liberty's words he shook his head slightly. "I can answer, but you still have to answer my question." He teased a little before stroking Dash's neck. "I don't have any siblings. Otherwise I probably would've been better at talking to people. I didn't really have a chance to talk much when I was younger.. it was much more work than anything else." He answered the question with a slight joke, though it seemed to be to cover up the underlaying slight sadness. "And you? Any siblings?" He added to his former question, tilting his head slightly. - Dash strolled along, flicking his ears lazily and not paying much attention to anything. He lifted his head slightly and let out a quiet nicker as Dahlia moved up, but then went back to his swingy walk. |

Liberty Norris ✴ Female ✴ 1st Year | 15 ✴ CR: Ryker {agonizingly close!} ✴ Golden Dahlia ✴ M: Estelle | Ryker - Liberty looked into the grass and saw a family of four small foxes. The two kits were tumbling about, wrestling each other. The mother was sitting on a rock observing them play, and the father was standing nearby, scanning the surroundings for predators. His little ears pricked their way as Liberty and Ryker passed, but he didn't move from his position. Liberty turned back to Ryker as he answered. She nodded at his answer, then replied to his questions. "Yes, I live in Virginia. Up North of here on a ranch my aunt owns. She has pigs, chickens, cows, you-name-it, but no horses. I board Dahlia here at my trainer's stable in return for doing work there like cleaning stalls and excercising horses." Liberty then answered Ryker's other question. "Nope. So siblings here either. I'd probably be even quieter if I had siblings, not louder." She said, throwing in a jokw herself. - Dahlia walked along peacefully, swinging her head to look at every living thing that passed. A rabbit bounced across the trail. Birds flew overhead. Trees creaked and swayed in the gentle breeze. Dahlia turned to look at Dash again. She nickered to him, as if to say, "Nice day, isn't it?" |

Ryker Rivera [] M [] 16 [] CR Liberty (INCHES AWAY) [] Dashing to Freedom [] M: Liberty Ryker glanced over at the foxes, marveling at their intense gazes that seemed to hold intelligence many people thought animals could not possess. He slowly breathed in the clear air, enjoying the time he could spend with Dash, and with his newfound friend.. however childish that seemed. He nodded in acknowledgment as she said she did live in Virginia. "If you haven't guessed by the accent, I came up from southern Texas. Originally, anyway. My father has a cattle ranch down there. I left at.. I think 14? To pursue some education first then I got a job at a stable in nothern Texas. Traveled all the way up here just for this school." He seemed thoughtful as he relayed the information, as if imagining what it would've been like if he hadn't had an abusive father. At her answer to his second question he smiled a little. Soon they heard a quiet gurgling, then came upon a small pond. A stream flowed out one side, and a small, maybe only 6 foot waterfall splashing into it. The sun glittered through the trees and reflected in a pretty rainbow in the water. - Dash had almost fallen asleep, but a quiet nicker from the mare awoke him. He tossed his head and whinnied back, shaking his mane a little. |

Liberty Norris ✴ Female ✴ 1st Year | 15 ✴ CR: Ryker {JUST MILLIMETERS} ✴ Golden Dahlia ✴ M: Estelle | Ryker - Liberty saw Ryker's smile and smiled back. Then she saw the waterfall and the stream. "Wow," she breathed, taking it all in. Liberty slid off Dahlia's back and walked up to the waterfall. She put her hand in the water and felt in gush over her plam and flow through her fingers. Liberty looked into the little pond and saw small silver fish swimming in the shallow water. Liberty had to tell herself to breathe. It was all so beautiful. She didn't know how something so gorgeous could exist. Liberty smiled, admiring the nature and beauty around her. |

Ryker Rivera [] M [] 16 [] CR: Liberty! Finally! [] Dashing to Freedom [] M: Liberty - Ryker's eyes reflected the blue water, making them look lighter blue than they were. He watched the water ripple and the green grass wave in the slight breeze. It was such a peaceful scene. Such serene beauty in pure nature. He walked Dash a little ways into the water, then stopped, enjoying the calm. "It's just so perfect, isn't it?" He murmured, his thought process taking over. Ryker then swiveled to look at Liberty. "Ever just want to sit out here for a couple hours and not return to the chaotic mess of the world?" He asked quietly. The sun was just so pretty on her face. Something stirred inside of him. Way too deep. He glanced away quickly, down at the water. |
