Party at the Nexus Stables! ((Open to everyone!))

Ellie had rushed over from work, and had been delighted to find that Mr. Dobson, Nat, and Jinian had already begun setting up for the party. The old cowboy had already fired up the grill in preparation and the girls had set out bread baskets and salads to start. There were tables with hurricane lamps set up near the house, and some additional ones down by the pond. And with clear skies, it was going to be perfect for stargazing even if you never left the table.

Several of the horses were frolicking in the paddock, and she wondered if any of their guests might like to go riding. She was definitely game, and had decided to try riding Bucky this evening. He was a beautiful Palomino, but also quite mischievous too. She was still getting to know the horses and Mr. Dobson had helped her choose which horses would be best to introduce to their guests.

While she waited for Michael and the others to arrive, she climbed up onto the fence of the paddock and watched the horses play.

((Thanks for playing with them! Simon-mun and Ellie-mun need sleep, and will be back to keep playing tomorrow if y'all like!Back!))

Michael -- who has only heard of, and not actually met, John -- smiles at Nathan. "Hi there. I'm Dr. Anders, and this is my farm."

No, he's not going to get tired of saying that any time soon, as the huge grin testifies.

"Welcome to the party."

Nathan suspects owning property is something to smile about. Not that he owns anything....

"Thanks." Handshake? Yes. "Nathan Sheppard."
master_simon: (What was that?)

"Good to meet you. Sheppard? So you're one of Donna's in-laws?" He shakes Nathan's hand good-naturedly.

...Questions. He should have been prepared for questions.

"...Yeah. You could say that, I guess."

Donna is not laughing at him. At all.

Nathan -- subtley -- pokes Donna sharply in the ribs.

Nathan wears steel-toed boots. He does not notice.

So she kicks him in the shin. Subtly! Really!

This will probably end...childishly.

He sticks his tongue out at her.

Well that's not fair. The Hair is sacred.

The pouty face!

[identity profile] sixtyonereasons.livejournal.com 2006-07-15 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
She leans on him. "You pout like my daughter. My five year old daughter."

"That's just mean." Pokepoke.

So she miaows pitifully and snuggles up against his side. :D? :D?

[identity profile] nosnackforyou.livejournal.com 2006-07-15 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
He snorts. And pets her.

"Aw, Pussycat."

[identity profile] sixtyonereasons.livejournal.com 2006-07-15 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
She grins up at him, impishly. "Mrrowr?"
