i will be ! see you soon tell horses see you soon for me too
[but she knows the city pretty well so! off she goes. she'll show up in about 10? 15 minutes?? with a phone flashlight on but listen, she's doing her best]
[ Okay, okay, just go greet her but not too quickly so it doesn't look like you're desperate or something, but also not too late because she'd get confused, but—
AHEM he's here!!! He gives her a little wave with his phone, moving to escort her in properly~ thankfully the stable has lights so they're good. Who needs the sun. (He does.) ]
Thank you for coming~ Everyone's very excited to meet you. [ ...Well, that's overselling it a bit, but Tsukasa's excited for the horses to meet her so that's the important part— ] Right this way, please...! Tourmaline especially wants to see you.
[please god let there be light again soon - but once she finds him, anya perks up and turns off her phone light. she'll immediately wander up to him and hum happily.]
Tourmaline...?
[she repeats the word exactly as he said it, not having encountered it before]
Then I want to see Tourmaline too! Спасибо. Thank you for showing me, Tsukasa.
Of course. [ And he'll lead her... Tourmaline is a pretty slate grey spotted mare, who peers out of her stall curiously when they approach. ] She's named after a gem—if you've ever seen one that resembles a watermelon, that's the one.
[ Tourmaline's his favorite gem, honestly. She isn't his favorite horse (don't tell her), but! Favorite gem. He holds his hand up to let her sniff it, then pets her nose gently. Good girl ♪ Get ready for some incredibly fond chatter, Anya; Tsukasa loves these horses more than anything else in this world. ]
While she might not resemble it much in coloring... Tourmy's very sweet, and she's one of the older mares, too. She's owned by the stables though, for the riding school—her owner donated her a few years ago, I think a senior of mine said...? She's been here longer than I have.
[Anya listens - she listens happily. Her expressions goes fonder as Tsukasa speaks and she giggles faintly even as she reaches out automatically to mimic him in giving her some affectionate pets.]
Hello Tourmy.... [she still repeats after him, humming a soft note as she does] Mудрый? You are very wise, no? Is it Tsukasa that takes care of you, or you that takes care of Tsukasa?
[MUST BE A SMART HORSE. and she'll automatically incline her head toward the horse like they're sharing a secret]
[ though Tourmaline gives a snort, and he pouts at her. it's nice to see Anya getting along with her though, and even nicer to see that secret sharing... he leans closer to her too, heart pounding. ]
...She likes you a lot. [ he likes her a lot. ] I'm glad.
Of course. I don't think anyone with sense could dislike you anyway. [ bias what bias-- ] Horses are very in-tune with people's temperaments and mood changes too... They're herd animals, so that's only natural. In fact, they're probably just as good as us.
[ spoken like a proud mom or something. ]
And since Anya has a kind and gentle heart, the horses will always treat her with kindness, too~. Right, Tourmy?
[ the mare butts his hand a little and he laughs. ]
[that's so much more than what she needed to know about horses. but instead she listens dutifully and smiles when the horse butts against tsukasa's hand. she'll reach to give tourmy another affectionate little pet]
Tourmy has a lot of nice things to say to me even when we just met...
[she glances at tsukasa and giggles]
Везучий... I feel very lucky to have a good way to meet her.
[ Tsukasa blushes a little, feeling like he's been caught, but grins slightly anyway. ]
You can come by any time even if I'm not here, too. Tourmy's sort of popular, but I'll put in a good word for you so you can see her as often as you'd like. If you want, I mean.
