Roman looked down the path as Phoenix pranced eagerly. "Sure, why not?" he asked, eyes dancing. He couldn't remember the last time he'd had so much fun. Maybe he really was meant for the country life, as Ez had teased him so many times. Stroking Phoenix's neck contentedly, he said laughingly, "I guess we've just found out why Shannon keeps him around. Hey, handsome?" The horse snorted in what sounded like agreement, his ears perked towards the path that Roman had turned him toward. The stallion whickered amiably enough at Benvolio and tugged on Roman's reins. Clearly, he thought it was time to run a little more.

Kahlilia nodded, saying, "Yeah, I guess we finally did." She smiled back and giggled. She was having so much fun, she never wanted it to end. Her thoughts focused on the path, but mostly on what they would find. There was anticipation growing inside of her. This place is so beautiful, what else would they find?
Benvolio began to gallop towards the path, this time with a signal from Kahlilia. She could tell that he too was anticipating what would happen.
The path was mostly dirt, with trees clustered along its sides. It sort of felt like an ancient path, like travelers from hundreds of years ago had crossed this exact trail in hopes of starting new lives. She could see squirrels darting through the trees and could hear tiny little birds singing, even though unlike the squirrels she was unable to pinpoint their location - but it sounded like there were a lot of them.

I'm staying at the camp. Keith said, arching an eyebrow. Fairly sure I already told you this. He smiled then and nodded, I do love it here.
Nanina hurried up behind Xavier and tried to see over his shoulder. What are you writing? She demanded, her hand on his shoulder as she stood on tiptoe to see.

"You'll see." Xavier replied to her in a calm voice, but there was still a mocking edge in it as well. He noticed her hand on his shoulder, trying to see what he was writing, but he didn't really mind. She would find out in time. What had the Wicked Witch said to Dorothy?
"All in good time, my pretty."
Once he finished the message, which was actually sort of short, he clicked 'send' and gave the phone back to Nanina, smirking. "I wonder if the guy will reply to what I wrote to him." He told her, sounding very proud of himself.

Nanina took the phone and pulled up the messages. I'll find out what you wrote now. She promised, clicking on the 'sent messages'.

" Well then, anything else or are we leaving?" Emily asked placing her hands behind her back and leaning forward slightly while smiling.
Emilys' smile faded into a grin as she then stood up and headed for the door, pausing only to turn around and nod for Keith to come along.

"Fine by me." He knew that once something was sent, its hard to undo that. You can erase it, but you have no control over what the other person does with it. The smirk stayed on his face as he stood beside her, arms folded across his chest.

Phoenix tossed his head, straining at the bit. Roman kept him checked at a trot, worried about causing the animal to hurt himself. Now that he'd realized he was probably on one of the stud horses of the ranch, he'd become a lot more careful about what he did with the stallion. Phoenix, however, didn't seem to appreciate his care. He wanted to run.
Finally, Roman just sighed inwardly and let the horse go. Surprisingly, he didn't explode into a wild gallop right away. Instead, he settled into an easy canter, snorting at Benvolio as he caught up. Then and only then did he shift into a long, smooth gallop - not the out-of-control one that he'd had before the pond. This was something Roman could relax on. He grinned at Kahlilia. "Are we having fun yet?" he asked teasingly.

Kahlilia giggled. "Yeah," she responded laughingly. Benvolio snorted back in response to Phoenix, feeling friendly and playful and hyper. Kahlilia felt they were having a conversation of some sort.
She smiled as the two horses ran beside each other in a seemingly content way. Kahlilia could see a small cottage ahead, and figured they had gone quite a long way to have reached another residence. She had been having so much fun, she didn't even know how much time had passed. But why stop now? If she were to try and stop completly out of the blue, Benvolio might become startled, and she decided against it as quickly as the thought had popped into her mind.
They were still a distance away from the cottage, and it was possible some sort of fence would seperate the fields of Starr Ranch from another ranch or residence. So Kahlilia continued to ride, but signaled Benvolio to a trot once the fence came into sight. "Wow," She told Roman, smiling. "I didn't realize that we'd gone far enough to actually reach another ranch... I've been having so much fun." Her green eyes glittered and she continued to smile. "Wanna go back?" She said after a short hesitation. Benvolio responded by shaking his head, tossing some of his mane on Kahlilia's lap, which made her laugh.

keith grabbed a cellphone off the coffee table, flipped off the lights, then walked out. He turned to lock the door before whistling for B.
OhMeeGee! Why would you send that? Nanina squeeked, turning an irritated frown to Xavier. She was just about to add something when her phone started ringing. Glancing at the caller ID, she grimaced and reluctantly answered. Hello Mavrik.
((Yes, I asked what the text he sent said.))

(Cool, thanks.)
Xavier couldn't help himself and began to laugh. "Its the truth!" He quickly fell into a full blown laughing fit, which seemed rare but actually was not for him. "Mavrik? Oh Jesus." He was laughing too hard to actually say anything, but it stopped soon enough when he saw the look in Nanina's eyes. "He deserves it." He told her, his deep, emotionless voice returning back to him.

There was sone yelling on the other line and Nanina held the phone away from her ear. Well maybe if you didn't text and call me a million times a day- will you shut up? Nanina held the phone to her ear when Mavrik started to speak quieter. Mavrik. I am not your girlfriend. We have been broken up for almost a year. No I will not bare your children. Stop calling me! Mavrik said something a tears sprang to Nanina's eyes. She turned away from Xavier and listened to the other male speak.

Xavier had hopped onto the counter and was sitting cross-legged on it, watching and listening to Nanina with slight interest. "How old is this guy again?" He muttered to himself when he heard Nanina mention the baring of children. Earlier, Nanina had told him she was seventeen, two years younger than himself. He was surveying the room when he looked back at Nanina and saw tears in her eyes, and then watched her turn away. He raised his eyebrows in surprise and jumped off of the counter, going to stand beside her and looking at her, not in the eyes, because it actually looked like he was looking at her ear. He just didn't want to look in her eyes right now, because in a way he was a little scared. He made his strange noise again but otherwise, became quiet.

I didn't send the text, Mav. Xavier. Maybe he is! What are you going to do about it? I can date who ever I want! Nanina yelled, then thrust out the phone and wiped at her eyes with her sleeve. He wishes to speak to you. She practically growled.
