Kiyoshi gave a little smile when it seemed that Nani had tired of playing in the dirt and was ready to do more. The white haired man pushed to his feet, scooping his son up into his arms, and followed along after him with a bit of a smile on his lips. The boy really was a energetic thing, wasn't he? He looked down at the drawing for a moment, memorizing the details, then he quickly followed along after Nani, not wanting to lose sight of him. The boy needed tended to and taken care of, he didn't want him to be left alone or to think for even a moment that Kiyoshi would abandon him.
He set Tatsuo on his feet once he'd caught up with the cat eared boy and gave a smile as he realized that they had gone full circle, back to the place that they had first met up with the rabbits. He was quiet, as was Tatsuo, as they watched Nani as he proceeded to win the rest of the rabbits that the place had on hand. It really was cute, how much he liked the fluffy critters he thought to himself before Nani turned to looking over at them, saying that he wanted to do something else.
Tatsuo smiled when the older boy asked what he wanted to do, "I... I was wanting to see the other animals... there is a place you can feed them and... and I wanted to do that." He said, sounding a little shy when the older boy seemed to want to know what he wanted to do but excited at the same time over getting to feed and pet more animals.

Nani nodded, and reached out to grab the younger boy's hand. He'd already been over there so he knew where it was and which route to take... One had to avoid crowds after all.
"Nani thinks that Nymph is going to like the ponies." he commented, dragging him off toward the center of the fairgrounds. "They let people ride them, and they're a lot of fun! And one of them even has a braided mane."
Pausing in front of the pen of said ponies, Nani watched them walk around and around and around on their little harnesses. It was a pony-ride of course. And beyond was a petting farm, and a miniature dog-show type thing, where people with pooches were competing for ribbons and small trophies. The cat-boy turned to Tatsuo, and grinned that typical Cheshire grin.
"Does Nymph want to go on the ride?" he asked. "Nani will pay for him."

"Ponies? Alright." Tatsuo murmured in a thoughtful manner as they walked along and he happily held onto the hand of the other boy, smiling away. he was so happy to be on a walk with someone his own age again. It was always nice to make new friends he thought to himself, giving a little smile.
As they approached the center of the grounds his eyes got a bit wide, starring at the many ponies that were there in front of them, a lot bigger then he'd expected but still a lot smaller then horses that was for sure. He starred at them then stepped closer to his friend and his Father who was walking close to them, not wanting to see them get lost, "They are... are big. Its safe to ride them... right?" He whispered to Kiyoshi and Nani.
The taller pocky boy nodded his head before looking them over, "They seem quite calm, I doubt they would let mean animals be in a petting zoo or let them be ridden." He said in a reassuring manner, "Nani and I will find you the calmest of them though, don't worry."
Tatsuo gave a slow nod of his head, "Alright." That sounded like a good idea he thought to himself before he gave the other animals around them a peek, finding the smaller ones as cuter and easier to deal with.

Nani gave a grin of glee, and paid the man at the stall, before leading Tatsuo in, and finding him one that looked nice and gentle. For the amount of money he'd just paid the stall-tender... he could have BOUGHT one of the horses. As a matter of fact...
"Does Nymph want a pony?" Nani asked, leaning back against the enclosure the animals were in. "Nani can get Nymph a pony if Nymph wants a pony."
Of course, he wasn't exactly considering the whole space requirement issue, or the fact that Kiyoshi might not be entirely amiable to that idea. He simply wanted to make the younger Pocky happy right now - and if that meant buying him a pony, then... well... Also, a pony was easy, because it could be ridden. By Tatsuo in the very least. And they were nice animals. Not a single bad temperament in the lot. Most of them stallions, too - which was odd. Usually stallions were bad-tempered.

Tatsuo turned quickly to look over at Nani, eyes wide, then looked over to his Dad in an uncertain manner. He didn't know quite yet if he liked the ponies enough to want one... not to mention that he already had one pet at home and there was no other room for other ones, especially not big ones like this, "Ahhh... it is a nice thought." Maybe, so long as they were nice ponies, "But we don't have room for them." He murmured, knowing that as much as it might be nice to have one that he had to for a moment be more adult... though he knew there wasn't as much fun in being an adult as there was being a kid... or so it seemed.
Kiyoshi gave a bit of a smile, a slightly sad one, as he wished he could give his son such things but they didn't have the room for it or the money to feed it, "Hes right, Nani, but you two can play with them all you want." He said, giving a nod.
The green haired boy nodded in response before walking over toward the one that Nani seemed to deem as the nicest, slowly and cautiously lifting a hand toward it to let it smell him before he pet it gently on the side... and much to his delight he didn't get stomped on or bitten, a good sign that the rather large beast might be something he could easily deal with.

Nani grinned as the boy was lifted onto the animal's back by the corral-keeper, then he himself chose one to get on. The two animals were lead out into a rather large field, and given the reins of the ponies. Of course, Kiyoshi was offered a ride on one of the larger, older, horses in the stall in the back. That way, he could keep tabs on the two young pocky as they went for their little trail-ride.
As they were lead out into the field, Nani couldn't help but wonder if the ponies were allowed to go ANYWHERE they pleased once out of that corral... and he found out the answer was a limited yes, as his pony started headed toward one of the paths that lead into the woods, right along with Tatsuo's pony.

If anything Kiyoshi seemed to be about as unsure of the whole riding idea as Tatsuo was but he didn't let it show, not wanting for his son to see him being worried since that would in turn cause the boy to respond in kind. He starred at the larger horse, lifting a hand to touch it before he got up onto its back as instructed and like the well trained beast it was it fell into step behind the ponies and seemed to be content with following along after them at a rather sedate pace. His lips turned up into a bit of a smile, slowly but surely relaxing when it seemed that the horse wasn't going to react badly.
His hands were gently stroking against horse's back in front of the saddle in a gentle manner, "Your a nice horsey, aren't you?" He murmured before his gaze went to where his son and Nani were at, keeping a close eye on them, want to make sure that they were alright being the ever protective parent that he was.
Tatsuo was all but clinging to his pony, eyes squeezed shut at first, and it seemed that the pony was rather used to it. Likely it had to deal with nervous children all the time so what was one more of them riding around on its back? After a time Tatsuo's eyes finally slid open when it seemed that the pony wasn't going to run away with him, buck, or otherwise do anything scary... instead it was just plodding along on the trail that was laid out before it, "T-This isn't so bad... I guess." He murmured, glancing over toward Nani and gave him a wobbly smile.
