is looking for new fun things to do!
says he should try horseback riding. That's always fun.
has never been on a horse before... he's heard it hurts.
nods. Well, sort of. But it's worth it. And it doesn't hurt too bad.
... thinks it will be worse for men. He's willing to give it a try though.
snorts and waves her hand. It hurts equally, but its nothing horrible. Does he really want to try it?
wants to really try it! He wouldn't say so if he didn't...!
is asking because she has a horse. Well, he;s too big for a new rider...she has another but he's kinda old.
thinks old is good, means it won't go too fast.
nods. Well, Hanyag is his name and it does mean slow. When does Will want to ride?
would like to ride, if that's okay with Miss Hungary.
will go get the horses ready then. Just come over to her house, she'll be fitting the horses so if she doesn't hear a knock just yell.
yells, loudly with a bright smile. He's not sure what to think of Hungary but she seems nice enough.
is nice enough, as long as you don't piss her off. She peeks around Hanyag and wanders top the front. she smiles and waves. "Hello!"
waves back, making his way over. Eyes concentrating on her face he replies with a small stutter, 'G-G-day.'
raises an eyebrow at his stutter then shrugs. "I have the horses ready and it's a nice day. Don't go near the black one. That's Ordog. He's-
a mean one."
nods, 'Oh, thanks there. I'll keep an eye out for him.' He then holds out a jar of Vegemite he'd been holding, 'As a thank you for inviting_
me to your home.'
blinks, then takes it with smile. "Oh! Thank you. I'm actually glad to have a guest. Follow me please." She blushes and walks towards-
the back of the house. It's still weird getting treated as a lady even after all this time.
smiles, 'I'm glad to be a guest.' He follows her around, excitedly looking around. It was rather lush here compared to Australia... but then
most places were. 'You have a nice home.'
nods and wanders over to her porch to set the jar down. She dusts her hands off and looks back. "Hm? Oh yes it can be." She catches-
her foot on a stone and trips, face planting the ground. Great. First visit and she already looks like a fool.
holds a hand up to his mouth to contain his laughter before rushing over to help her, offering a hand. 'Are you alright?' he asks with a_
tilt of his head, eyes full to the brim with amused concern. He finds it rather endearing that's she's clumsy, Canada is clumsy too.
just thanks the stars it hasn't rained recently. Mud would be a horrible addition to this humiliating situation. She blushes and takes his-
hand, attempting to stand back up. "I'm fine. I'm not normally this ditzy."
ensures that she gets up, quick to offer her a damp handkerchief he keeps handy for dealing with animals to deal with any mess. 'It's fine,_
I'm used to it.' He smiles, 'Everyone is allowed their moments.'
gladly takes the handkerchief and wipes her face and hands. She frowns at it, it now having some dirt on it. "I'll wash this and return it.-
" She smiles. "Now, back to the horses." She turns, face on fire as she paces over. Damn stone.
looks around as he follows again, still taking in the sights. 'Are horses expensive?'
scowls at Ordog. He glares back and she rolls her eyes. Damn horse. "they can be, yes. Both of mine are pure bred but I got them-
as a birthday present from my boss." She wanders over to Hanyag and pulls him near, petting his nose. "pet him. He'll let you."
gets right down to petting him, more at home with animals than human's. 'I'm guessing you breed them then... are they studs?'
sighs with relief when Hanyag does nothing but enjoy the petting. "Ordog is. Hanyag isn't. He actually was too energetic to handle."
ahhs, grinning a bit. 'The girls found him too hot to handle eh?' He scratches bhind the horses ear, cooing when it twicthes.
laughs. "You could say that. Hanyag was not always so....slow." She digs around in her apron, finding a piece of sugar. She holds it out.-
"Wanna feed him?"
nods, 'That would be brill.' He takes the sugar with a small thanks, and used to feedings roos holds his hand out flat
with the cube in the middle.
watches as Hanyag gently palms the sugar cube and smiles. "Good boy-hey! You! Don't you do it!" she glares around William at Ordog, who had-
been sneaking up to bite him. He pauses and tries to look innocent. Bastard ripped off of his picket. She should have dug the stake in deep
laughs, 'Whoa there Ordog, let's just chill eh?' He stands on the other side of Hanyag, hoping that will shield him somewhat.
moves quickly in front of William, grabbing his reins and yanking him down so they're eye level. "You brat. Stop acting up or it's to the-
glue factory for you." She glares until he bows his head. She pets his nose. "Good boy." She'll still keep an eye on him though.
watches the antics and laughs lightly, 'A handful... maybe he's just jealous.'
keeps the reins tight in her hand. "Ugh. Well his name means devil so it's not surprising." She feeds him a sugar cube. "He's really-
devoted to me." She smiles back at William. "You know how that goes."
nods, 'Yeah, Bruce is the same way.' He's left him behind today though, thinking Koala's and horses don't make for a good mix.
laughs and pats Hanyag's side. "Well enough talk. Time for you to get on this beast." she walks Ordog to the side so she can help William on
looks at the horse before giving a determined nod. He places the right foot in the stirrup and easily swing his leg over to get on. It was_
kind of like getting on a quad.
flutters around, making sure all the straps are in place and he won't fall. "You can hug with sides of him with your knees if you think-
you're going to fall, just not too hard. Here's how you hold the reins. don't worry about telling him where to go. He'll follow me."
nods, listening to all of her instructions. 'Alrighty. I'll just wait around for you to get ready then.'
swings up on Ordog with ease, and pats his side. She trots over to William and smiles. "Haven't fallen yet. We can take a flat meadow-
trail or a small mountain trail. Both are safe for your level."
blinks, 'Well... the mountain one sounds more exciting.'
nods and swings Ordog around, ignoring his snort of amusement. She signals Hanyag to the side of her so they can ride side by side. "sounds-
like a plan." She laughs, spirits already lifted. she loves riding her horses and just traveling the country side.
smiles, glad the other seemed pleased with his choice. The horse didn't seemed too bothered either.
makes sure Ordog doesn't want to start galloping anytime soon. "So do you have anything like horses in your country?" She brushes her-
hair to the side so she can see.
thinks, 'Well, we have horses? I've just never been interested in them before... they're too easily tamed.'
grabs at Ordog's reins as he turns. "I wouldn't say that around Ordog." They reach the fringe of trees signalling the start of the mountain-
trail.
nods, 'I guess some make the exception. I doubt he's as vicious as a croc though.'
nudges him into a slow pace, looking over to make sure Hanyag and William are okay. If they're lucky her crazy weather won't randomly-
change like it tends to. "Now crocs are the lizards with the hugs teeth, right?"
... nods, 'I guess you could describe them as that.'
shudders, and ducks a tree branch. "I wouldn't go near one of those if you payed me. They look like they could rip my leg off."
ducks too, following example. 'They can... and will, if you give them the chance and provoke 'em enough.'
sneezes and glares up at the sky. If it rains..."I've also heard you have those giant...jellyfish?" Ordog snorts in boredom at the slow pace
but she's not willing to accomodate him.
nods, 'Yeah. They hurt like a bitch if you stand on 'em.'
takes a deep breath in and hums in contentment. The weather and tempature was absolutley perfect for this. And her companion was nice. "I-
bet. don't you have anything that's not potentially painful or lethal?"
laughs, 'Um... nah, that's what makes life exciting eh?' He looks around at the countryside, 'Dunno what I'd do wthout it.'
*without
scoffs, but to each his own. She can't really say much since it wasn't so long ago she ran around in boy clothes, swinging a sword around.-
"I can see your point." She blinks as a small drop of water hits her face she groans. "You have to be kidding me."
looks up, eyes wide. He has to say he's not used to rain appearing from nowhere. 'Think it's going to be bad?
'
picks up the pace slightly. If her memory is correct, there should either be a cave or at least a bridge they can huddle under. "It might."
ahhs, startling when his horse follows suit. 'Then we should probably find cover.' He starts slipping off his coat, planning to offer it to_
her.
swears as the weather turns slightly worse. She swears even more when Ogdor shakes his mane, showering her in sweat and water. Boo. "there-
should be a place up ahead. I think it's a cave." She scours ahead, but they're not quite there yet.
throws the coat over her shoulders, 'Well no need to rush and get hurt. We'll get there when we get there.' His horse follows Hungary with_
little work on his part,
blinks at the sudden weight of the jacket, and gives him a small smile. "You didn't have to do that." She blushes and grabs one side with-
one hand to keep it on.
shrugs, giving a small, wuick grin, 'It's manners.'
blushes even more at that grin. Damn girly instincts. She nods, then grins at the object in the not too far distance. "see that cave?"
nods, holding a arm over his eyes to stop the rain getting into them. 'Yeah, no far at all now. '
sighs with relief as they near it. It looks deep enough to give the horses cover. "Thankfully I have some bedrolls packed on the side of-
the sadle we can sit on until it clears up. This happens more then I would like it to."
blinks, so prepared. 'We won't have to sleep out here will we?' He jumps off the horse when they reach the cave, keeping a hold of the reign
has to be. She pulls the bedrolls off the sadles with a huff.
"Sorry it turned out this way." she blushes and fiddles with the drawstring on one. "hopefully it passes."
helps with the bags, 'It's not your fault. Let's just sit it out?'
flops one down, then the other on top of it. "Yeah we can. She brushes her hair out of her face and carefully sits. She sneezes.
offers her a tissue. 'Are you alright?'
blinks up at him and accepts it with a smile. "I think so. Just a little cold." She pulls the jacket closer around her shoulders.
smiles back, 'Ah, well I hope you get better...' And he hopes he doesn't catch it. He leans against the wall, sliding to sit on his bottom.
is pretty sure he won't. She sighs and lays on her stomach, so her head is facing him. "So had fun riding horses before the rain?"
grins, 'Yeah. A new experience so I was expecting it to be...' But he could see himself getting bored of it easily, 'Prefer sports like_
surfing and cricket though... rugger too.,'
rests her head on her arm and tilts her head inquisitively. "Those sound interesting. What's cricket and rugger like?"
thinks of how to explain it easily, 'I guess you could say Cricket is a slower game of baseball and Rugger is well, it's Rugby. Like_
American football only better.'
nods. "Sounds fun. I think I'll stick to riding horses though. It's simpler." She gets up and wanders over to the cave entrance, getting-
hit by a wave of rain. Wonderful now she's soaked.
... snorts and then laughs, 'Are you okay?'
is not amused. She sneezes again and finger combs her hair back. She glowers down at her soaked clothes. "Yeah. Ugh this is great." She-
unties her apron and throws it on the ground.
hopes she isn't going to strip. He offers her his jumper, hoping to stop this. 'Just stay away from the entrance?'
blushes and moves away. She's not going to strip, she just wanted to get that off. She rubs her arms and shivers. She turns her back.
... sighs softly, opting to watch the rain. There was little more he could offer bar his coat and jumper...
coughs and peeks outside. Nope. She moves to walk towards Will and catches her dress on something. She facepalms her hand. "Can you help-
me? I don't know how this could get any worse." She doesnt want to rip the dress in alf.
moves over, trying to untangle her dress. 'It's just not your day today, is it hun?'
tries also to free herself. She laughs, covering her mouth. "It's really not. God now I can't stop lauging for no reason."
... gives her a brief odd look, before releasing the dress. There is a small rip but it should be easy enough to repair. 'I'm sorry.'
brushes it off with a nod. She looks down at the rip and sighs. "Is it still raining?"
looks out, 'It's letting up a tad, I think?'
peeks out. "It's almost down to where we can leave. I hope this doesn't ruin chances for another visist."
smiles, 'It's been exciting, I'd consider it a pleasure to come again.
'
smiles back and freezes at the sound of ripping. she closes her eyes. "That rip just got huge didn't it?"
... doesn't want to look ;n;. \Sounds like it.'
glances down and her face turns maroon. The rip's all the way up her side, threatning to show all. "Um..." She tries to hold the thing-
together with her hands.
... offers his jumper to wrap around her waist and then his t-shirt. 'Dear Lord.'
is speechless and gladly takes the jumper but balks at the shirt. "I can't take that. you'll freeze."
... says, 'I'd rather you be covered.'
is making a call to Will's cell phone. Ring, vibrate, ring, something.
cocks her head. "Is that you?"
nods fleeing to the other side of the cave to answer the call. 'Matthew, I love you.'
extends his phone back blinking, then pulls it back to his ear. "What did you do?"
shrugs the shirt on and flushes. It is so sweet to hear him say that to his boyfriend.
says, rather pointedly. '*I* didn't do anything!' He's unbelievably glad Hungary is covered up now.
is sitting up in his chair now. "What's that supposed to mean...?" he asks, tone somewhat softer than usual.
chews her nail nervously. She wasn't planning on doing anything either. She already knew where they stood. she really wishes the rain would-
stop. that would help a lot.
looks over his shoulder, 'Hnn... I can't say.' He looks outside, ohh wow. The rain has stopped. 'Would you be okay taking the horses back_
yourself, miss?'
just closes his phone despite feeling nervous.
feels bad for putting him in an awkward position. She nods and grabs the rolls, quickly rolling them back up. She picked up the apron-
and coughs. "um your clothes. If you follow me back to my place I can change and give you back yours."
smiles, 'I can pick them up later. I have a ton where that came from. Just stay safe, e-eh?'
nods and grabs the reigns of her horses. She turns and nervously looks at him then away. "I don't mean to nit pick buy how are you going-
to find your way off this trail?"
holds up his phone, 'GPRS. I'll be fine. Concentrate on getting home.''
moves further into the cave to call Matthew again, looking upset. If he's done anything to ruin their relationship ;~;
knows how dangerous it can be getting lost out here. She chews her lip, then stomps her foot. She'll do anything to fix whatever went wrong-
but she has to at least get him to a ranger station.
sighs, 'I'll have to leave once we reach your house.'
crosses her arms. She'll settle for that. She just doesn't want him to get eaten by animals or wander around lost.
starts down the path they came, not at all scared of animals. He's from Australia... he's dealt with worse.
chases after him, tugging the reins to keep up. He may deal with dangerous animals but different countries, different threats. Mountain-
beasts can be sneaky.
has never ever been happier to see Hungarian architecture before when they come across her house. 'Well, thank you for the lovely day.'
doubts honestly it was lovely. She pets Ordog's nose nervously, keeping him back from Will. She keeps thinking she did something to-
offend him. "I didn't do anything wrong, did I?"
shakes his head, 'No. I just. I love Matthew Williams, Canada, more than the eye can see and that situation back there just made me feel_
uncomfortable. The only person I could think of was him.' He nods his head, 'Bye,' and leaves.
feels even worse because she couldn't appologise. Damnit she didn't mean to-ugh. Great. Now she looked like a skanky whore.
