Brook & Jenna Walker, Ladybird
Brook was still walking, leading the injured mare back to the corral. She was limping, greatly favoring her fore leg which was bandaged up. Brook believed the leg was simply sprained whereas it could have turned out much worse. She could have gotten hurt herself, Ladybird could have broken her leg instead... She shuddered at the thought of what could happen.
"My sister should be here." she stated as she lead the mare to the first barn. That's when she spotted her-- Jenna was standing by the entrance. The other girl waved with a smile on her face, that is until she spotted the problem. Then her face contorted into concern.
Jenna ran up to her sister and Will, although didn't pay much attention to him as she bent down to check out Ladybird's leg. Now a bit annoyed at having everyone touch her leg, the mare snorted and stamped it into the dirt which only made it worse. The pain caused her to toss her head and squeal. At this Jenna quickly attempted to calm her and run her hand over the horses shoulder. "What happened?" she asked Brook, eyes turning briefly to Will.
"We were racing in the prairie and she stepped in a hole," Brook answered, lightly huffing from the trek back. "Will helped me with her." she said, not bothering to do any introductions.
Jenna was a bit disappointed at her sister, who was probably riding haphazardly through the prairie, but she was glad that someone had been there all the same. Unfortunately, Jenna had as much of an idea about what to do now as Brook did, which wasn't much. "Shouldn't she stay off of it?" Jenna asked, looking at Will. She figured he was the one who bandaged it up.
Will & Kree
Will stopped where he was when the two sisters talked. He stepped up when Brook said he had helped her. ''She doesnt need to stay off of it. In fact she should really stop favoring it. It will only get worse if she does.''He explained. ''Believe me, I know how it feels to have a hurt horse, but i got in a worse situation then Brook and Ladybird did,'' He said
Kree longed to get some oats. He walked towards one of the stalls that was open and had some oats in it. He bent his head and started eating.
Brook & Jenna Walker, Ladybird
Jenna listened to what Will had to say about the injury. Well, she was glad that he seemed to understand what was wrong. She nodded, looking it over once more. Why she kept looking at it, she had no idea. She hadn't the slightest idea about what to even look for. She then raised a brow at his next words. She couldn't even imagine having it any worse than this. Nodding, she took the reins and began leading the mare into the barn, where she would tie her up and proceed to untack her. "I'm going to get her bedded down for the night," Jenna stated, as she turned and left. Ladybird limped along after her, tired and obviously agitated.
Brook sighed heavily, glad that they were finally back at least. Paige wouldn't be happy to know what happened, but who would? She then looked back at Will. The stress of the day was finally starting to wear on her. "Thank you for all the help." she once again expressed her gratitude, before running her the back of her hand across her forehead. It was cold but she still managed to feel hot. Then her attention turned to Kree as he moved in on some oats. "It looks like you've got a hungry steed," she stated with a chuckle, watching as he ate.
Will & Kree
He nodded. ''Hey brook, does your sister and you mind if I stay with y'all for a while. My sister is back and she has the keys to the house so can i?" he asked. He needed a place to stay.
He laughed and got Kree. ''Dont be eatin there oats now kree what did i tell you about that?" He said firmly but in a joking manner.
Kree snorted and went after the oats again.
Brook Walker
Brook looked at Will and thought for a moment. She would have to see. After all, their apartment wasn't very big, although they did have a spare bedroom. Her and Jenna shared a room while their older sister had her own. The final decision would be up to Paige.
"I'll have to see, but I don't think it will be a problem." she replied, at least hoping it wouldn't be. She figured Will for a pretty nice person and certainly wouldn't mind if he stayed for a while. That and she had next to no friends around here who were around her own age. As a matter of fact, it was rather odd for Brook to be so forward around someone. "I'll have to check with my sisters," she then said, before quietly excusing herself to the barn.
Inside, her and Jenna discussed the matter. A few minutes later, Brook emerged with a smile. "Jenna doesn't have a problem," she said, although in reality, her twin sister had been rather unsure. However, Jenna never mistrusted her sister's judgement-- except for maybe when out in prairies, but there were no real objections. She was unsure simply because to her, Will was a stranger. However, the final say was Paige's. She never really bothered the two anyway, what with her school work and all-- just had a typical sisterly spat every once in a while.
"She's calling our sister who we pretty much stay with. We're living downtown at the moment, but we do have a spare room if you need a place to stay." she explained. It may all seem a bit hasty, but she didn't mind.
Will Vincent
He nodded. He looked at her ''I just need one or two nights not that long. At least til my sister calls me and Jake back to the house.''He said and looked at Kree. Who was off in his own world while eating oats. He looked at Brook and smiled.
Brook & Jenna Walker
Brook smiled. "I'm sure you can stay," she stated. It was only two days-- if that. She didn't want to start getting anyone's hopes up though as she still needed her sister's okay. Letting out a light sigh, she looked around, waiting.
Just then, Jenna came walking back out of the barn. She was placing her cell phone back into the pocket of her jacket. Her brown eyes looked to her sister and she gave a nod. "Paige said that he can stay, but that it can't be for too long." she stated, wondering how she won Paige over. At first she didn't want much of it, but Jenna showed her otherwise. She was starting to get used to the idea herself, although now it wouldn't just be her and Brook. She immediately thought of places they could go...
Brook gave a small cheer at the news. "That's great!" she exclaimed as she lifted her hands and clasped them in front of her face. Then she regained composure, realizing how she must look. "Well, we can probably head back any time then? If Ladybird's alright,"
"Ladybird is fine. She has her feed and new straw in her stall..." Jenna started listing off all the things she had done since arriving. Finally she stopped and looked at Brook and Will. "Paige, our sister, has dinner all ready. We should get goin'," she stated, remembering the walk back downtown.
"You can go ahead; tell her we're on our way." Brook offered. At this, Jenna shrugged and started off. "Better be soon!" she said as she walked away. She waved her goodbye and disappeared beyond the fences.
Brook looked at Will's horse. "Does he just stay here?" she asked him. She figured he would need to get the horse settled before they left.
Will
He nodded ''Only for a couple of days til my sister calls me.'' He said and looked at Kree. He whistled and grabbed his reins. He put him in a stall that was next to his brothers horse. He took his tak and stuff off and let him roam around the stall. ''Hes all set now. Ready?'' he asked and waited for her.
Brook Walker
Brook waited as he got the horse settled in. Once he was finished she smiled. "Ready!" she answered as she began walking down a long pathway. It would eventually take them into town.
