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!))

His eyes widen a bit further at the question, and he shakes his head frantically. "I could never! I...would maybe like to pet one, though..."

He hasn't seen any horses since he first came to the nexus, and he misses helping to take care of them, but he probably wouldn't be able to bring himself to actually get on one. Only Governors are allowed to ride, since horses are so rare.

"Of course you could," Simon grins, laying a hand on Edric's shoulder, because maybe, just maybe, he needs some support.

"Don't worry. We're here to enjoy ourselves. It's safe here."

He gives Simon a little smile and doesn't argue, but he'll take a bit more convincing before he relaxes his guard even a little. To anyone with knowledge of such things, he's positively bristling with defenses, and quite prepared to throw them over Simon and Lawrence as well.

((I have no idea how that ended up over there. o_o))

Simon just smiles back, and leaves his hand on Edric's shoulder. Anyone looking will think Simon's perfectly relaxed, but those looking a bit closer will see the tension keeping his back ramrod straight and stiff.
