[Aye-Aye Eye]

Okay. He could do that. Right? Trepidation trickled into the front of his mind until she spoke again, "Am not!" He snapped. Judas' tone was like a child's on the playground. Oh joy, he'd screwed up again. A light blush started to warm his cheeks at his own blunder and he strode into the barn to hide it, though not well. Then he realized he had no clue what he was supposed to do. His arm gripped at his elbow apologetically, "How do I feed them?"

[peachie.]

Alison flinched when he snapped at her. She turned and patted the horses nose, trying to hide her uncertainess. "Just open the door, grab the feed, pour it into the bucket and close the door." She instructed, avioding eye contact with him like an omega wolf would do with it's alpha. She opened one of the stall doors, revealing a large gray horse. She acted as if Judas was not there. "Hey baby boy, how you doing Bo?" She said and kissed the horses head. She grabbed the bag of feed and strolled over to the bucket hanging on the wall. She began to pour the feed in. Bo kept nudging her lightly, as if urging her to hurry. "Calm down Bo! I'm going as fast as I can!" She spoke to the horse, a grin on her lips.

[Aye-Aye Eye]

Judas took a deep breath and grabbed a feed bucket and took a step towards the smallest horse he could see, he unlatched the stall door and took a baby step inside, luckily, the horse just ignored him as he poured the grain mix into the box like thing on the wall. He backed out a little quicker than he should have and latched the door closed. Then he let out his breath with a chuckle of triumph. He continued the process, only having to back out before feeding an over-zealous horse once. Judas ran his hand through his hair, leaving a wide streak of lightly dusty black locks. "Is that all?" he hoped it was all, enough risk-taking today.

[peachie.]

Alison watched Judas out of the corner of her eye as she worked, making sure he didn't get into any trouble. She rubbed her dirty hands on her t-shirt, leaving streaks of dirt on it but not caring. "Actually, I got to work a couple of horses. You know what that is?" She asked, dragging a big bag of feed to the side of the stables.

[Aye-Aye Eye]

Judas has warmed considerably at the idea of being around the horses, and to being this girl, he was an outcast as well, maybe that was where his friends would end up. "I have no clue. What does it mean?" sounded easy enough of course. He reached down his hand and wiped the dirt off of the tip of his tennis shoes. He should probably help her with the feed, but this seemed to be Ali's zone. She probably didn't need his help in the first place, at least she was nice. And comfortable in her skin. And a hard worker.

[peachie.]

Alison dusted off her hands and walked over to the rack of tack. She skimmed through it and found what she was looking for. A long leash and a whip. "These are what you use to work a horse." She explained. She held out the leash showing him. "You attach it to the bridle, and hold it in one hand. In the other you hold the whip. You go in the ring, and get the horse to trot in circles on the leash, and if they just want to stand there, you click your tongue. But if their really resistant, you give them a little tap on the bum with the whip. I got about three horses I got to work, so I can show you with the first one if you like." She said.

[Aye-Aye Eye]

He blinked almost incredulously at her. "You go into a ring with a piece of rope to move those things?" She was more ballsy than he would have believed. "I think I'll just watch. " Oh nope. Impressive indeed. He leaned back on his heels and smiled widely, this stable thing just had more and more surprises. He'd have to take her to a coffee shop sometime, see if she could handle the beast-like coffee machines at his job as efficiently.

[peachie.]

Alison shrugged. "Okay then. Im going to grab Echo, I suggest you way outside, he's pretty big." she explained. She slung the leash an whip over her shoulder and moved to Echo's stall. The horse was a large beautiful, light brown horse with a long black mane. She slid open the stall door and hooked on the leash, which she would also use as a lead rope for now. She lead the horse our of the stall, his hooves clicking on the concrete.

[Aye-Aye Eye]

She wasn't kidding about him being big. Enormous would be more accurate. Judas gulped and almost jogged back out of the stable and into the warm sunlight. The sun felt nice, as did the light breeze from the open air. He pulled the flannel shirt off and relaxed in a nice white Tee. Everything looked better in the sun, and if it was possible, Ali included. He twirled around in a joking way and stepped toward the ring, going to open the gate for the hulking horse.

[peachie.]

{ mobile, so replies will be slow }

Ali exited the barn, smiling at Judas. She was short compared to everyone, but to Echo she was mini. She lead the horse into the ring and let the horse have more of the leash. She got Echo to walk in some circles, then clicked her tongue. On command, the horse began to trot in circles around her. "Good boy!" she spoke to the horse.
