"They are the real deal, Love. And these ain't my horses. But you CAN tell that the owners here love them some sweets. If yah ever wanna bake them something as thanks, just takes the horses' names as a hint. " Besides the two horses they had, there was also Cream Puff, Mocha, Jelly Roll, PBJ, and others with all sweet names. Even he thought it was silly, but given that this was a children's camp the easier the names, the easier it was for the kids to trust the horses. Nothing was scary about a Jelly Roll, unless you were allergic to Jelly. Lukas followed right behind Wyatt as he tested the waters gently with their horses. Unlike the regal and proper posture his lover had, Lukas was wild. He ebbed and flowed like water, hips rolling like waves lapping lazily against the shore. Below him, Caramel took off with her rider. Between them was complete trust and acceptance for one another, and the roles they played. And yet, they remained behind, ever faithful to Lemondrop and his prickly rider, letting them set the pace even when it was clear that they wanted to just bolt. But soon enough, the time came, Caramel absolutely whinnied in delight, stomping her foot as if already urging them forward. "Woaaaaahhh, girl woaaah! HA! Yes, I think that a few of us are more than ready to get a move on. But seriously, Wyatt. If you find the need to rest, just be honest about it and let me know. We can take our time."

Wyatt brought Lemondrop to a complementary pace alongside Lukas and Caramel, and looking over at the other man with a look mixed between playful exasperation and cockiness said, " Sure, sure. If I over-do it I'll just let you punish me and nurse me back to health later." Heck, he'd be tempted to feign hurt just for a bit of that kind of attention. Not that he'd admit it. Nah. Instead he'd feign hurt, deny being hurt, put up resistance, before 'reluctantly' relenting to to 'totally unwanted' attention. Alas, it would only be a matter of time before Lukas would catch on to his games...but maybe he'd still play along anyway. Hmmm....

“Awww, How can yah expect me to punish you when you look happier than a clam in it’s bed?” Lukas gave a snort of a laugh, knowing that even if Wyatt DID overdid it, he’d just tend to him as sweetly as ever. Though… The temptation for a good spanking or two would be there, followed by a good massage to ease the pain and show him he still adored him, even if he was being a “bad boy”. The thought made him flush just a little bit and hide his overactive imagination with a cough “Uh… There’s a trail over that way that splits into three… Beginners, intermediate, and expert. You know I trust you fully, yeah but… You’ll go ahead and humor me with the beginners one, right? Just cuz… you know.. Easier to guide you back incase… You know….”

Wyatt rolled his eyes, "I'll compromise on intermediate." Maybe he was a little offended at the idea of going on the beginners trail, even if he understood Lukas' worries, but they'd been doing construction and other rigorous activities all summer - some horseback riding wasn't going to break him any more than a long day's work fixing up the tower had. It also still felt weird to have someone worry over him. That was his job. That had always been his job. Worrying was 99% of what his last relationship had been. The more Wyatt thought of it that way the more the memory of it started to taste bitter. Well, it had for a long time now, but there were times the memories would come back and he could taste the bitter bile of it churn up again. But now was the start of something sweet. His taste buds were still adjusting. Metaphors aside, he looked over at Lukas as they neared the branching path, "Intermediate - unless you're not feeling so confident in your own riding abilities?" There was the teasing hint of challenge in Wyatt's voice as he cocked his head back, lifted a pale brow, and smirked.

"Oh, you thought I meant that you couldn't handle the trail? Nah, nah, I meant if your rear is too sore after we fool around too long in the woods later." That was a good save? Right? Lukas really hoped that Wyatt would buy it, and even if he didn't atleast he thought it was slick. His horse didn't think so, and gave an almost annoyed snort. "Fine, Intermediate has good hiding, I mean resting spots too. I bet I can out ride you any day, but I'm a graceful lover, I ain't about to show you up over somethin' silly. Maybe if we weren't at the camp. If we fly out to my home town, back on the ranch, then I'll show you an even better time."

"Woooow," Wyatt began, sarcastically, "Making a lot of a**umptions there." The look on his face, however, showed that he wasn't annoyed or offended or anything like that. "See - even Caramel knows you're full of it." Merciless jabs and teases - this is the life Lukas was signing up for by being with Wyatt. But surely he already knew that. Maybe it was part of the charm? Wyatt could only guess so. " Out ride me? Who's making this a competition?" Okay, so maybe Wyatt was a bit jealous that Lukas had gotten to grow up on a ranch, and a bit of a pout may have slipped out.

"Oops, my bad then. I'll be keep to the rear then and just let ya lead." Haha! Puns, a straight shot to his heart even if the horses are making fun of him too. It jiggled and jabbed at the part of him that knew he'd be a great dad one day, but before even that, he found the play on wards charming when it came from his prickly sweetheart. "Shuuush, no more time for fussin'. Just go out there and ride, and focus on the great time you're having."

"But making jabs at you is a good time." Wyatt kept their side-by side pace and when the fork came, took the compromised-on intermediate path and was content to enjoy the scenery and all that came with it. Riding was relaxing. The cool weather had a bit more bite to it under the shade of the trees, but that was hardly minded when everything else was so perfect.

"Yeah, yeah, you keep talking! I'll be enjoying the view from back here." That view being both the majestic way that Wyatt handled the horse with ease, and how great his a** looked. He smirked of course, more to himself than not, and only enjoyed staying behind Wyatt for a little while. Being by his side, as an equal was much more appealing, pointing out little nuances of the trail as they passed. While he had gone this way hundreds of times, each season was something new. Trees would have sprung up, others fallen. A little hovel of animals found itself just off the trail. His imagination was going a little wild at the though of sharing this with Wyatt year after year, a new ride atleast once every season. "We should take a stop a little bit ahead. There's a nice little clearing over there, and a bench we plopped down for those who needed a break. I just want you to see down the rest of the mountain from there."
