「 Backdated to the 7th. 」

「 The feed opens to the sound of whinnying, and one can catch a glimpse of Homare's face before a horse's snout gets in the way. 」 Uwah-please try to- 「 Static here, aaand… 」

-'s a good girl. 「 He returns his gaze to the feed, smiling sheepishly as this horse continues to nuzzle him. 」 Would anyone-ah-know how to handle ( Read more... )

Thank you. I'll lead her to a river in the meantime. 「 And Zero will probably find him at a riverbank letting the horse have a drink, still too inexperienced to realize that the horse could kick him into the water at any minute… 」

[Finishing the last of his shopping, it doesn't take Zero too long to navigate his way back. Having been in Zodion for a few months now, he's adjusted well enough to its atmosphere, sharp senses picking up on the horse's presence, as well as Homare's, fairly quickly.

The number of bags he's carrying with his purchases are set down, save for one, which he hangs on to as he makes his way over. Why, yes, he was sure to pick up several apples, carrots, and celery for the horse.]

Hey. [glances to Homare, still a few feet from the animal. They tend to fear vampires at home, so he's a little cautious in getting too close too soon, not sure how it might react.

A beat or two, before he realizes-] ...I didn't get your name, when we spoke. I'm Zero.

「 He looks up, and the horse raises its head to sniff at the air. Homare strokes its mane, but doesn't leave his spot, though he smiles at the other's arrival. 」 Homare Kanakubo. Thank you for coming.

「 OOC: please feel free to godmod the horse. o3o)9 」

Yeah, sure. [He nods in turn.]

Ah- [Almost as expected, the horse does shuffle a bit nervously with Zero's appearance. It's mildly upsetting, although nothing that surprises him. He knows he's agitated the ones at home, in the past; Lily is just an exception, since he helped raise her over four years.

He approaches slowly, outstretched arm bearing an apple.]

Hey, it's okay. I won't hurt you... [speaks more calmly, now, smiling a little when the horse finally comes forward to sniff at, then take the apple. He reaches out with his other hand to gently pet its snout, glancing to Homare again.]

Where did you say you found her?

Good girl. 「 He pets the horse reassuringly, smiling all the while. No need to be afraid, and he brought a treat, even.

That last question does make him feel a little sheepish, though. More than he's already felt, lately. 」 I-I borrowed her from one of the locals.

[Blinks at him, a little incredulous.] ... You borrowed a horse even though you don't know how to care for one?

[It's a little strange, to say the least. Even just the local's approval. It sounds as if the individual is far too trusting, and maybe stupidly naive, to simply allow their horse to be borrowed by a stranger... Unless maybe Homare offered money, he supposes.

He's about to speak again, when the horse begins sniffing, then chewing at some of his hair.]

H-hey! [%#!@jdfg DX swipes his free hand at her to shoo her off, although it's clear he's almost more amused, in a way.] Cut it out! I brought you food, didn't I?

It's something I'd rather not talk about. 「 And he's usually the practical type, too… 」 Ah, wait- 「 Tugging at her reins gently but firmly till the horse finally relents. To pick on him instead, anyway. He'd be amused by this, but considering the reason for his getting a horse in the first place, he feels a little guilty for troubling this guy. 」 I'm-I'm sorry-uwah-I hope you aren't hurt?

[Lucky for Homare, then, that Zero isn't really one to press, given it's no big deal, in the end.

He ruffles his hair a bit.] No, it's okay. I'm fine.

[This horse, though. . . He sighs, taking out a stalk of celery in hopes it'll get her to stop bothering Homare, then holds the bag out for him.]

Here, take it. You should have more luck keeping her in check with these.

Ah, thank you. 「 He accepts the bag with both hands, nearly losing his balance again when the horse indicates that she wants more. 」 I should…I should pay you back, for these, at least…

Don't worry about it. [a shake of his head. He has more than enough funds to get by, so it's really no big deal.

As for the horse, though. . .] Just don't let her get the better of you.

[Gives a sharp tug on the reins, drawing the horse's snout from the bag.] Don't be afraid to discipline her a little when she gets rowdy. She needs to be shown that you're in control, and will only get her treats when she's well-behaved.

Fortunately she's a friendly one, so I don't imagine you'll have too much of a problem getting her to listen to you, for however long you have her for. You just need to be willing to try and work with her.

「 Smart boy. 」 I see…thank you. 「 He hands her a carrot, and smiles as he watches her eat. 」 I can do that with people, but I don't have much experience with animals.

Sure. [Meanwhile, he doesn't have the best social skills.] It'll just take time. You'll get the hang of it.
