Dominik/ THe Eldest Son / At The Ranch / Everyone

Dominik set a hand on the boy's shoulder to let him know that it was alright. He looked at his brother and his wife when they came over. "Winnifred." There had been tension between the brothers for a long time. He saw the look of disappointment when Freddy realizing that he was an uncle and that Dominik had not told him. "Finn, this is your Uncle Winnifred and Aunt, Willow, was it?" He told the boy with a slight smile. Being an attorney made it easy for him to mask any cross feeling that he may or may not have had, with a smile and a look of being pleased.

Ruka ran out of her front door in a panicked rushed with a ham sandwich in her mouth and her bullet belt with pistol holsters in hand. She rushed towards the front gate to her family's farm where her faithful companion and friend, Jasper, waited with a bored look on her face. Ruka slung her belt on the hitching rail as she grabbed her chaps off the rail and quickly put them on. She when put her belt on as she finished her ham sandwich. Jasper nudged her with his velvety nose and nickered softly, "Yeah yeah, I'm hurrying." Jasper snorted and flicked his tail, "Don't you sass me, I was late getting ready because of you snot nose. You wouldn't get up this morning." Jasper neighed as if he were mocking her, "No carrots or treat for a week." Ruka said coldly as she grabbed Jasper's saddle and threw it onto his back. She quickly did up the sinch and girth before hooking her foot in the stirrup and hoisting herself into the saddle. Jasper tossed his head hotly, Ruka grabbed her reins and steered him towards the gate and tapped his sides, "Yaw Jasper Yaw! We're late!" The pair were off, flying down the road and towards the farm. Jasper snorted loudly as he ran, his ears flat against his head as Ruka held her cowboy hat on with one hand and the reins in the other hand. She relaxed a little when the farm came into sight.

Mary stood politely beside her husband, clutching her purse. She could already feel how her heeled shoes were sinking into the soft ground; this wasn't at all like the asphalt in her beloved city. The people out here seemed nice enough though, and she did think it would be good for Finley to grow up away from the smelly air in New York. But she hated how dirty the ranch was. She could always stay inside and clean or cook though. And write. This could be a perfect source of inspiration, she thought. And if nothing else, it was, after all, what Dominik wanted.

Ruka began to slow Jasper down, pulling into a slow gallop. Jasper snorted as he perked his ears up, making Ruka take a closer look at the yard, "Man there is a lot of horses and dogs in the yard today..." Ruka approached the gate and entered into the yards filled with life, "This is the liveliest I've seen the yard since the last cattle drive." Ruka spotted Jace talking to a couple of people at the side of the house and a small boy who was petting Gus. She just smiled and reined Jasper over to the front of the house, if she couldn't get chores from Jace, she take a look around the house herself. Ruka stopped Jasper at the front porch and climbed out of the saddle, taking his reins in her hands, she led him over to the corrals where a two horses stood, one being Jace's and the other being the old family pack horse. Ruka stopped Jasper at the gate and undid his girth, sinch, and breast collar before pulling his saddle off his back and setting it on the fence. She returned to the gray colt with a halter in hand and carefully pulled his bride off before slipping the halter on and leading Jasper into the corral with the two other horses.

Elija Kalev Hazari [Eli or Kalev] / 21 / Male / Ranch Hand / Ruka

Elija had been up since well before dawn. He had already tended to the horses that were kept in the stalls and dropped hay in the field for those in the corals. He was just riding up from the fields on a dark Arabian with blonde mane and tail. He slowed the stallion as he neared the main property. He came to a stop by Ruke as he looked towards the people who must have been 'The Family' as Jace referred to them. "I take it those are the ones he has been worried about?" He asked her. They, being the children of the ranch owner and he, being Jace. It wasn't hard to tell that the young hand was not American born. His accent rang thick when he spoke. His words were correct though and that was often what mattered. He looked to Ruka as he waited for an answer.

Henry Viking Jakobs [Viking] / 28 / Male / Ranch Hand / Open

Viking had been out since early morning. He knew that the family was supposed to show up today but that didn't mean that there wasn't work to be done. He needed to see to the herd and drive in the yearlings calves to be sawed and branded. He had spent a good deal of the morning rounding them up and separating them from the rest of the herd. He was now driving them towards the holding pens so that he and the other hands could get to work on them.

Ruka nodded as she let Jasper loose and approached the old family farm horse, "Yeah, that's them alright. I didn't dare ride by them because the one lady was in heels and I didn't want her to jump and break an ankle or something." She smirked a the thought, it wouldn't have been so funny if it had actually happened though. Ruka gently grabbed the horse's halter and lead him out of the corrals, "Jace has been super nervous about that one guy... Winifred I think. Think there might be something going on there?" Ruka asked as she shut the gate behind her.

Elija Kalev Hazari [Eli or Kalev] / 21 / Male / Ranch Hand / Ruka

Elija dismounted and walked with Ruka, leading the stallion as they walked. He nodded. "I suppose that will dampen 'Pretty Boy's' spirits about Jace." He said with a smirk. He always referred to Viking as 'Pretty Boy'. It was mostly because he always tried to keep his face and scars hidden when around outsiders who didn't understand. Though the comment itself was a true enough fact. It seemed that he had had eyes for Jace since before Elija had started working there. "Anyway. I hope these city folks at least taught their child not to mess with animals that he does not know." He said as he glanced back towards the people. It was at about that moment the large black German Shepherd that was always with Elija made himself known. The dog walked around from the side of the house. He had been out back eating his meal. He bolted from the porch at top speed, running past the new people and straight to Elija and Ruka.

Viking Jakobs [Viking] / 28 / Male / Ranch Hand / Open

Viking was driving the herd into the pens. The sun seemed to almost reflect off the golden pelt of the Palomino paint that he road. He drove about a hundred head of cattle in and kicked the gate. "Dog!" At the name, the large Collie jumped against the gate. The force made the gate latch into place. He had trained the dog to do many things simply by saying its name. He looked towards the house and saw the people. Viking wasn't one who cared for new comers. Still, he knew that they were the ones that the place had been left to. He just hoped they didn't try to sell it off. He saw Ruka and Kalev chatting by the main coral and shook his head. Without a word he dismounted and walked into the empty pen. Stoking the fire he had started earlier that morning and placing the branding iron in the flames.

Ruka laughed as they walked, "Oh come on Eli, let Viking dream! It's good to have hopes, especially for him. He needs that kind of thing in his life anyways." Ruka smiled as the big black dog ran their way, "Geez, is he just happy to see you or just wanting seconds on food?" The old pinto horse she led nickered softly, "Don't worry, you're not doing much today.." Ruka said softly as she stroked the old horses head. "Yeah, I know the older people know better for the most part, but there are a couple of animals here that not nice for their species, like the jersey bull cross out in the east field. Even I'm wary of him, he's just got this look about him." Ruka shivered as she thought about the brown and black bull.

Elija Kalev Hazari [Eli or Kalev] / 21 / Male / Ranch Hand / Ruka

Elija smirked. "Who knows, maybe Jace will get his dream boy and Viking will steal his' wife." He said half joking. He watched as Vikailo ran to them. "Watch this." He told Ruka as he took a knee in the dirt. "Up." The dog jumped onto his back and onto the saddle of the horse that he was leading. Elija stood up and looked at the dog. "Pose." The Shepherd put his paw on the horn of the saddle and tipped his head to the side. Elija smirked. "We are still working on him actually using the reins." He joked.

Ruka gasped in laughter, "Eli, that is no way to talk, we all know that Viking has no interest in the ladies, especial the married ones." She shook her head with a grin on her face. Ruka stopped to watch the performance, "Well aren't you two smart? At least I know one of you can ride a horse." Ruka said jokingly as she rubbed the dogs head. "Well Eli, I think you did quite well with this little trick. My dad can't even get our old dog to sit. Did I tell you what that darn dog did the other day?" She laughed just thinking about the incident. Ruka tied the horse to the fence and grabbed his saddle that hung up nearby.
