WHO: Avery Davenport & Victoria Powers
WHAT: Random run-ins trying to hang out with the horses
WHEN: Mid-day Sunday
WHERE: The stables
WARNINGS: TBD

Even though Avery wasn't in the Equestrian club (which she was seriously starting to regret and reconsider) the discussion with Ollie about horses had sparked her curiosity. It wasn't like she'd never been to the stables, but with no real great need Avery had nearly forgotten they were even there. Fortunately, on a lazy Sunday like this one was, Avery found herself with the free time to wander down to the stables. It was decently warm outside, so with no real plan in mind Avery made her way to see the horses.

The threat of rain later in the afternoon was hardly on her mind. Nothing really stopped Avery from wearing a dress on any given day, and today was no different. She did add boots to the ensemble instead of regular shoes, considering where exactly she was going. She didn't plan on meeting anyone there other than, perhaps, a teacher - but she still wanted to look her best.

As she got closer to the stables, Avery could see that some of the horses were grazing in the fenced-off area near their stalls and (particularly because she had no right to actually enter the stables), she made her way to the fence and leaned against it, watching as the horses made their way around the area, nibbling on the grass. "You're lucky you know? Nice area to live, students who take care of you, no worries about anything except when feeding time is. That's the life." A soft sigh escaped her lips. Not one to usually be down about things, it was tough on gloomy days like this not to think too much. Maybe that's why she came out the stables in the first place. Unfortunately, it didn't seem like the horses were helping too much on that front.

What she really needed was a more engaging distraction.

"It definitely does, it sounds really nice. Ollie and Avery are definitely easy to say," Vic said, a little sarcasm creeping into her voice. She cleared it, not having meant to sound like that. "I mean, those are good nicknames." She smiled and kicked at the ground a little, upset with herself slightly for having gone back to her usual mode of dealing with unfamiliar people. No wonder she was mainly friends with people like Sly. He basically spoke sarcasm as a second language.

Victoria laughed and nodded. "Yeah those suckers are scary as hell. Though they have their place in the world too. I just don't feel the need to have a chat with one any time soon," she joked, back to feeling more comfortable and in control.

She smiled at the thought of getting adopted as chosen family like that. "That's really nice. See? Even better when someone chooses you like that. That's real family," she said, matter of factly.

She laughed again at Avery's description of bees. "Well," Vic said, leaning on the post a bit before pulling herself up to sit on the top of the fence, he legs dangling. "Everything has it's place. Even us. But I'm glad to be here where we can explore how the magic us fit in with everything else, you know? Sometimes it feels like you don't quite belong, for whatever reason. And then you start understanding that everyone feels that way at some time or other. I guess the trick is to not let it get to you too much. That's what I'm still working on."

She looked over to the horses that were coming over to the fence, eager for treats or a ride, and probably both.

"I was going to have a little ride. Want to come along?"
