Day 440 | Closed Video to Aidan
Sector 6 is gone. I'd started working in there already, and it's just gone...

	I know. [ His tone is full of empathy, raspy and tense. ] Good thing you weren't in there when it happened, I don't know what I would've- [ He cuts himself off there, too rattled by the recent events to really want to think about what-ifs. ] Sector one is going tomorrow... we should visit th' horses before then.

	[He's breathing heavily having just gotten off the call with Mary.] Yeah. Yeah. See the horses before they're gone. I'll meet you there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alright. [ And he'll show up soon enough, visibly stressed out about all this. Everything sucks and he's scared and pissed off and damn it if he's not going to be going through this day crying. ] I promised Aigis I'd help her evacuate th' Pet Store. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Stress. That's all he feels too, but Mal shows his by getting harder. His face barely moves from the craggy scowl he wears.] The pet store.... we can get to that. I want one last ride, y'know? One last ride'n then we kin evacuate all the animals. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-08-13 12:13 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah... yeah, sounds good. [ And a neck-breaking gallop along the beach might be just what the doctor ordered. ] Let's get 'em geared up then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Mal nods and veers into the stall that houses Serenity. He leans against her a moment, arm slung over her neck.] Don't worry girl. We'll keep you safe. [It doesn't take long to saddle her up. He walks her out of the barn before swinging into the saddle.] You comin'? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-08-14 11:07 am UTC (link)
	Comin'. [ He brings out his horse and pats her on the neck before getting into the saddle, the warmth of strong muscles under him already doing wonders for his anxiety. ] Wanna race? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2017-08-15 01:57 am UTC (link)
	[Mal nods and immediately urges his horse into a quicker pace. Breakneck speed is necessary. Maybe it'll make him feel a tiny bit better.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Welp! It might've been his suggestion but Aidan's already falling behind. Leaning forward in the saddle, he gives his horse free reigns to gallop to her hearts content. It's less about the competition and more about blowing off steam, while they can still do so. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Mal's already lost track of Aidan. His only concern now was death defying speed. He and Serenity run the entire length of the beach countless times before he stops for her sake. He walks her for a spell before dismounting and scanning the area for his friend.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ He's not too far behind, but certainly traveling at a more reasonable speed. It's comforting, just hanging along for the ride rather than drive her forward, and it takes him a moment or two to really catch up to Mal. He shifts his weight back in the saddle, gently pulling on the reigns to get his horse to slow down into a trot and then a relaxed saunter. ]

You feed her rocket fuel? I never stood a chance!

	Jus' needed to feel somethin' close to danger. Burn off the excess emotions. I was really looking forward to doing somethin' in sector six. An' now they're takin' away this one as well? I guess I get it. Attacks an' stuff we don't understan. But what's this place gonna become? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-09-08 08:27 am UTC (link)
	I dunno. [ He sighs, giving his horse free reigns so he can lean down over her neck and pet her for comfort. ] At this rate, there ain't gonna be much left at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So an actual prison. Sounds about right. [He rolls his eyes.] So... save the animals? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-09-09 06:35 pm UTC (link)
	Save the animals. Maybe th' horses too, if we can fit 'em. [ God, he hopes so. The idea of leaving anyone behind feels awful. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We'll figure it out. I managed a herd of cattle in my cargo bay. We can manage the horses. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-09-27 07:31 am UTC (link)
	That ain't too bad, then. [ He sighs. ] Ready to get to work? (Reply to this) (Parent)
