Devon(f) in the forest with Rev
Devon nodded quickly as she did her best to avoid Kasai's cool gaze, she wasn't about to start getting technical with the other girl by explaining that she hadn't really planned on the boldness of Rev. She clumsily caught the halter before watching Kasai ride away with perfect ease on her horse that didn't seemed fazed to be ridden completely free. She breathed deeply a couple times before turning to Rev, who was now being unusually willing to letting Devon do what he wanted, the fact that Rev could become a trickster suddenly had changed her from thinking he was a cute prankster into a serious problem horse. It felt almost too easy to get Shady's halter onto the colt, Devon shakily slipped the strap through the buckle, waiting for Rev to do something, anything to prove he was more difficult than he was being now. Rev had proven how scary it is when you're riding a horse that won't listen and she didn't like it, she didn't want to be scared of him but how could she go back to trusting that he was harmless when he showed that maybe he wasn't? Devon let out a gasp, her eyes widened with horror as she remembered that she had Lucifer completely free of ropes when she jumped onto Rev's back. Where is my mare now?She thought desperately as she clutched the halter under Rev's chin and began jogging, forgetting her fear of the colt for the time being.
Rev(m) out in the forest with Devon
Shady looked at Rev as coolly as Kasai did Devon but Rev wasn't fazed by the look, although seeing how obedient shady was made Rev realize that he was rarely that obedient, even with something a simple as feeding time he could be a pain in the butt. And he even did it on purpose just to prove he liked being a pain.But being predictable is no fun.. he thought with a bit of a pout but feeling Devon's nervous, shaky, hand against his ear when he let her halter him made him feel a twinge of sadness mixed with guilt. 'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you like that' he said in his horse language but Devon couldn't understand him. Devon's gasp moments later made Rev prick up his ears in surprise, did she understand me? he wondered before Devon started to jog back towards Running Bear, so he assumed that meant she hadn't understood he decided a he followed beside her, he scared Devon enough for one day and wanted to prove that he could be obedient like other horses. It took them a while to reach the edge of the forest and to even see Running Bear, Devon had slowed to a limping walk, Rev let out a sigh of slight impatience, they could've made it back faster if she relied on him but she didn't think about it even for a moment.
Lucifer(f) at the edge of the forest
Lucifer made it to the forest's edge a while ago, but her back was painfully spasming more even when she was standing still. Walking was painful but bearable, the uneven ground through the forest would be impossible to make it very far on without her wanting to lay down and just wait for the pain to stop. The pain didn't normally stop when she did though, Devon had a way of helping to ease the pain which brought her back to her wondering anxiously when she and that troublesome colt, Rev, would come back. After waiting for more than an hour at the forest's edge, the mare saw Rev and Devon making their way back to Running Bear. Lucifer let out a whinny of excitement and relief at the sight of Devon who was unharmed, the mare then proceeded to flatten her ears at Rev in annoyance, his crazy antics could've gotten someone hurt. When Devon saw her standing there with one leg held awkwardly in hopes of easing her back pain she came over and wrapped her arms around the mare's neck. "Oh lucy.." the girl sniffled as she pressed her face into the mare's neck. "You're such a sweet girl, your back is hurting again huh? I'll lead you back to your stall and give you some medication for it. I'm sorry.. you were going to have a nice day outside but you're going to have to stay in your stall today too." The mare let out a gentle huff of air and then a nicker, she was fine with going back in her stall if it meant the pain would go away. Devon grabbed her halter and led both the horses into the barn, she first put Rev away, took off the borrowed halter and hung it on Shady's door and then put Lucifer in her stall as well, she also gave the mare a couple pills inside pieces of carrots. Lucifer knew that Devon was trying to be sneaky with hiding the pills but Lucy knew they were there and gladly ate them, hoping they would kick in soon.
