[Irene is pulling on a dark leather glove. She's all kitted-out in her gear - knee-high riding boots, a crisp white blouse, and a pair of khaki breeches that leave little to the imagination. Her blonde hair is pulled back in a tight french braid; a black velvet helmet is tucked under one arm, and her other hand contains a crop. Her tone, when she

That's, uh. Kind of strict, don't you think? I mean, not that I'm trying to tell you how to do your job, Miss Adler, not at all, of course not. Just. You know.

Thinking out loud. ...Sorry.

[always_thewoman]

Yes, it is. I find, however, that if firm ground-rules aren't laid down, then campers wander in whenever they feel like it, ignore safety regulations, and treat the horses carelessly. Better to get all the nasty stuff out of the way first. [She smiles rather convincingly, but lol she has no intention of easing up on being a queen bitch at any point in her lessons]

Besides, not all of us can spend our afternoons lounging by the pool or picking dandelions, Bruce.

[darknessb4me]

...I didn't know there were stables.

[always_thewoman]

There are indeed. They're located about a five minute walk from the cabins, adjacent the archery range.

[darknessb4me]

I- I would really like to. Are they open now? Can I come and see the horses?

[always_thewoman]

They are, and you may. Campers are allowed to visit the stables at any time during the day, provided you don't disturb those working or lessoning.

Know eachother? Also Damon's totally the rich kid who has his own stables

[talldarksaviour]

Oh Misstress Adler, how I missed you.

I brought my own kit, as usual. Is Silver still here?

Sure thing. Also XD Oh gosh, Damon would be.

[always_thewoman]

That cheek of yours still doesn't become you, Salvatore. [Despite her brisk tone, there's the tiny twitch of a smile] I trust you had an enjoyable year?

Glad to hear it. Silver is most definitely here, although you may have to go a bit easy on her at first; she foaled this past spring.

\o/ - they need to have/have had a kinky affair ;)

[talldarksaviour]

[Raises his hands to his cheeks, then lets his fingers slip down to his chin as he turns his head, giving the camera a view of both sides.] Oh? I think they're very becoming.

Without you, it was merely passable.

Foaled? How exciting Who was the sire?

MUAHAHA. Nemo, your subject bars are always SO FULL OF WIN. Past or present?

[always_thewoman]

[She rolls her eyes and purses her lips] You would.

[She puts a hand to her heart] My, my, you do know the way to a woman's heart. You learned a few new tricks this year, I hope. [That... probably came out inexcusably dirty.]

It was Boscoe, believe it or not.

[bob_fraser_snr]

I would like to attend, Miss. What time would suit you the best?

[always_thewoman]

Lovely. Any time will be fine, but you may find the 2 o'clock lesson the least crowded.

[bob_fraser_snr]

Then I'll shall be there. Thank you kindly.

[always_thewoman]

[She purses her lips, looking disapproving but also - strangely - like her interest's been piqued. There's always that ONE KID just BEGGING to be thrown around a bit, and this? Is that kid.]

I hate to break it to you, Squirt, but zombies aren't real.

So, you're 'totally awesome', huh. Then I guess you'd be the type who can handle a lot of horse? I think I've got just the challenge for you. You game?

[always_thewoman]

In the event of a zombie apocalypse, I sort of doubt you'd be able to out-ride a ravaging horde.

All right, champ. His name's Sugarplum, and he's alllll yours.
