-A call is sent out-

Gosh, this is certainly embarassing, but I really am flabbergasted on this. Maybe you all can help me out on this, but...

... Can someone tell me why I thought it was a good idea to buy a horse? And have the husband convert the garage into a stable? I don't even know how to ride one!

You have a horse, Misses Malfoy? Really?

[rapier_ex]

I'm as surprised as you are, really.

[bridesearching]

What are you going to do with it...? You're not going to keep it, are you?

[rapier_ex]

Well I wouldn't just want to send the poor thing away. If she's here, she's obviously my responsibility, but still...

[commentboxtroll]

Mom? [And guess who's looking through the house for her! Though he inevitably does check outside.] Hey! Where'd you... go... oh. Hey, mom, do you know where the car keys went? I think dad hid...

[He trails off once he reaches where Virginia is standing and gets a good look at the stable with Quicksilver in it.]

...when did we get a horse?

[rapier_ex]

I... can't remember for the life of me, Caesar. Did your dad say anything about it?

[commentboxtroll]

I think he would have mentioned a horse. It sort of looks like the one Albert had...

[rapier_ex]

But why... did your brother send us his horse? -And why did that somehow make any sense?-

Miss Virginia? You've had Quicksilver since you got him back in a... got it... a few years... When you rescued it from the animal shelter?

[Lucas sounds terribly confused.]

And I've seen you riding it... Um. Feeding it... No, no, you've definitely ridden him before.

[rapier_ex]

Lucas, they don't keep horses at animal shelters.

...

...

Do they?

This is weird.

[a_gentle_boy]

N-No... No, I guess not. Um. B-But...

[Lucas concentrates quite hard for a moment or two before blurting out.]

You got him back in a regain! And you asked me for help when you built the stable...!

[rapier_ex]

You really think so? It just seems so strange...

[wasthemaster]

...it really wasn't a good idea, I'm afraid. What is a horse going to do in Mayfield? [Though he's a bit curious. He's used to cats and dogs and other domestic animals around the town, but a horse? Mayfield's much too small for that.]

[rapier_ex]

Well, no matter how she got here, she's my responsibility now.

[wasthemaster]

Any idea what you're going to do at least? Horses are kind of difficult. [He has hazy memories of a large animal...it looked like a horse, kind of. It may have been a dream he had but still.]

[rapier_ex]

Can't be too hard, right? I mean, the stable's already built.

[rapier_ex]

Apparently.

[rapier_ex]

He does? I never taught him!
