Who: Reina and Sofia Wood, Andrew Del Mar Twist,and varying adults
What: Valentine's Day Visiting
When: Thursday, Feb 14. Duh.
Warnings: Cuteness, I'm sure.

The girls were thrilled to be on their way to visit their valentine; Drew wasn't icky like other boys, he was nice to them and polite, and Papi seemed to like him. Besides, they like new friends, and Drew had ponies!

Hopping right up after the portkey, they shot out to the end of the alley, in search of Drew and his family. Greg lumbered to his feet behind them, knowing it wouldn't do any good to try and get them to stop, instead following them off down the road.

	Ennis grunted as Drew attached himself to his legs. He spared a glare at Jack, over his shoulder. Turning to the girls, he smiled sweetly. "My, aren't y'both pretty things?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The smile was sort of creepy, the way Papi's smiles were creepy when he didn't really mean them, but Ennis got a pair of sweet grins in return. "Howdy, Mister. Thank y'for takin' us up onna mountain. We's never been onna ranch before!" She signed as she spoke, getting a nod out of Reina when she was done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Drew had already detatched himself and gone to stand by the girls, twiddling the toe of his shoe in the dirt as the girls and Ennis said hello, waiting patiently for them to go outside of the barn to go up to the mountain. "Girls just wanna see th'sheep, Papaw, we aint gotta go far." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"We walkin' or ridin', Rudy?" Ennis asked, unaware of the nickname he'd used for Drew. it came natural to his tongue. He'd leave it up to Drew, he didn't know if the girls had ever ridden before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The girls eyes went wide at the mention of riding, and they gasped, Fi watching Reina sign before answering for the both of them, "We's can ride? Oh, can we?" He might have just made new friends for life. Assuming Drew said yes. He got an identical pair of hopeful looks, complete with sickeningly sweet smiles. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Reckon we men can walk an' let th'ladies ride." Drew said with a nod, trying to sound as grown up as he could, glancing at the girls with a proud little grin. "'s the gentleman like thing t'do." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	quiet_cowboy 2008-02-17 04:10 am UTC (link)
	Ennis nodded. "A'aight, then. Y'think y'friends would like t'be on one t'gether?" Ennis thought that might be safest, given the fact it seemed they'd never ridden before. He could manage one horse better than two. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sofia signed this over, having a short conversation with Reina before nodding, smiling up at Ennis a little. "Please, sir. Rei-Rei's wanna ride with me, 'case she needs to talk." They still seemed exicited by the idea, grinning and looking around the barn. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	daddysliljunior 2008-02-17 04:28 am UTC (link)
	Drew nodded in agreement. "They best stick together, Reina needs to talk with Fi's hands, else she'll get mighty frustrated." [OOC:Sorry this took so long, guys! Mom called me in the next room to watch a six year old sing and I almost forget!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Tell y'friends t'stop with th'sir. Name's Ennis." Ennis titled his chin up and wandered off to find a saddle both girls could sit on comfortably. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Frowning, Fi kicked her shoe in the dirt a little bit. "We's sorry. Papi's like that, 'bout gettin' called 'Sir'. But Daddy says s'nice to say to older boys cause them's ours elders an' stuff." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	daddysliljunior 2008-02-17 07:23 pm UTC (link)
	Drew watched his friend, puzzled by her sudden shame. He shook his head. "Aint no reason t'hang y'head, Fi. He aint mad a'you, he just sayin' y'can call 'im Ennis." He made sure his Papaw was out of earshot before whispering to her. "I reckon 'sir' just makes him feel old, 's all." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	houses_of_wood 2008-02-17 07:30 pm UTC (link)
	That seemed enough to pick Sofia up a bit, and she nodded. "'Kay. S'long's he's not mad or nothin'." Her Papi always got mad when he was called Sir. She didn't want to make her new friend's Papaw mad, since she knew better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	daddysliljunior 2008-02-17 07:44 pm UTC (link)
	"Naw, 'f he were mad he'd start yellin' an' stuff like he did at Mama th'one day. Takes more than callin' him sir ta git him mad." He started to twirl himself in a circle, arms outstretched, eyes to the sky as he waited for Ennis to return. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ennis worked in silence, securing the saddle on Honeysuckle. She was by far the most kid friendly horse on the ranch. He probably ought to have asked Drew if he minded, but he didn't figure Drew would mind. When he'd checked the saddle, he nodded toward Drew. "Come on, now." The words were directed at the girls.

	The girls looked between Drew and Ennis, and seeing that seemed to be directed at them, they moved forward, looking up at the horse. "She's... really tall." Fi seemed a little unsure, looking up at the tall animal next to her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Y'aint scared, are ya? Honey don't throw people off, only Sara does 'at." He nodded to insist on the statement more. "Don't worry, mah Papaw's a big guy, he'd save ya iffa big wind blew or somethin' funny like 'at." It was four year old sarcasm, but not meant in a mean way, so much as playful.

	"Y'relax now. Y'ain't never gonna ride, if y'don't take the first ride, no how." Ennis clicked his tongue and patted Honey's snout. The horse neighed softly in response and nudged at Ennis' hand. "Rudy here's gonna take th'reigns. I'll be walkin' 'aside you. Y'safe, y'hear?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	houses_of_wood 2008-02-17 09:23 pm UTC (link)
	"We's not scared." Sofia insisted, chin sticking up a bit in a show of bravado. "She just don't look that tall inner stall thing." She gave Honey another look over, before frowning a bit. "How d'we get up there?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	daddysliljunior 2008-02-17 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	Drew nearly snickered, shaking his head. "Well since y'can't fly, Papaw's gon' have to help y'up, I reckon." (Reply to this) (Parent)

	quiet_cowboy 2008-02-18 01:14 am UTC (link)
	Ennis nodded once. "You first," he pointed to Reina, arms out to reach for her. He lifted her up, and settled her smoothly in the saddle. "Them reigns is there so y'can hold on t'em." He swung Sofia up behind her sister. "A'aight?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sofia signed over to Reina, nodding at her to let Ennis pick her up and put her on the horse. She went next, wrapping her arms around her sister to hold onto the horn, letting Reina take the reins.

Looking down at Drew and Ennis, Sofia grinned, before turning her attention back to Honey, running a hand through her mane- the other still glued to the horn of the saddle.

	"Looks like we's your knights, whisking y'off to the magic mountain, princesses." Drew remarked, hanging onto the reins his grandfather had given him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ennis didn't have anything to say, so he said nothing, but rubbed at Honey's hip to gently spur her into moving forward. (Reply to this) (Parent)
