Xavier nodded amiably again. "Hell yes!" He said with considerable enthusiasm. Yes, he liked the idea of the tie. Yes...
He reached over and held her hand. "I like it." Then, he raised an eyebrow suggestively.

"Alright I'll ride with you on Lady," she said smiling, "you want me in front of you or behind you?" she asked smiling.

Xavier shrugged, and after a pause he said, "Either way, I guess." He wondered for a moment how she was going to dismount Shadow and get onto Lady, and he was even a little curious. "What d'you want to do?"

Summer moved Shadow closer to Lady until the two horses were side by side. She then stood up in the saddle and sorta jumped over to Lady while landing in front of X she then sat down with her back to him. "How's this?" she asked laughing but still holding onto Shadow's reins.

Roman smiled faintly. "It was a little miracle," he admitted quietly. "I never thought witnessing a birth would be such an important thing - I mean, it happens all the time, right? Birth, death, all of it. But actually seeing it...It seemed so special." He shrugged.
Seeing the barn, he increased his pace a little. Whether he admitted it or not, he was impatient to see Phoenix and find out how he would react to his baby.

(Sorry for not posting >< My fragment of a social life caught up to me yesterday. If I can say that.)
Xavier wrapped his arms around Summer, sort of holding her in his lap now. "Great." He said, smiling, although Summer probably couldn't see that. This is so effing cool, he thought happily.
Lady seemed impatient to start galloping again, and she was vocalizing that impatience with repeated low-pitched snorts. Xavier simply chuckled at her antics. Soon, he told her mentally. Soon.
"Yeah, I guess actually experiencing it makes it that much better." Kahlilia smiled and shrugged mentally. She was feeling more peaceful now, her mind was finally clearing. Good.
Kahlilia started walking a little faster to catch up with Roman, curious herself. She hoped Phoenix wouldn't be mean or react negatively in any way, but maybe they would find out...
When the barn was close enough to enter, Kahlilia smiled. "Well," She said airily, "I guess now Phoenix gets to see his child."

"From a safe distance," agreed Roman, guessing what was on Kahlilia's mind. "I don't want anything happening to Ariel - or to Phoenix, for that matter. Or Kelly." She looked a little brighter, he noticed. Good.
Walking into the barn, he went into Phoenix's stall and put the stallion's halter on. "Come on, boy," he said gently, watching the horse's ears perk. "Let's go see your baby. Be nice now."
And he led the horse out into the alley towards Kelly's stall.

Summer leaned back against X and then said, "Well lets get going Lady seems to want to gallop so let's go handsome." she said laughing at Lady. Shadow nodded her head like she was agreeing with what Summer said.

Xavier chuckled. "Okay," He said. "Off we go!" Lady began to gallop happily once she was given the signal, making sure that Shadow would be able to catch up with her. Xavier realized Lady was vocalizing quietly to Shadow - maybe they were having some sort of private conversation.
Xavier still had his arms wrapped around Summer's waist, tight enough to be safe but not enough so that it would be choking. He was still smiling, ecstatic about doing this with her. It was so nice, he thought, having this one-on-one time.
When the barn appeared close enough, Xavier signaled Lady to slow down a little. "Here we are." He said calmly to the three girls.
Kahlilia stood infront of Kelly's stall, gently coaxing the mare and her foal forward. When she came forward, Kahlilia stroked her nose gently, murmuring unintelligable somethings to her. She knew, of course, that Kelly would be very protective of Ariel - and who wouldn't be? Ariel seemed happy and healthy so far, so that was a good sign.
Benvolio, in the stall to the right of Kelly's, was sneaking multiple glances at them and snorting in what seemed to be a friendly manner. Kahlilia looked over briefly and smiled at him. "Hello to you too, Ben." The stallion responded with a whinny.
Then, she looked over at Phoenix and Roman, beaming. She was so happy now, it was truly wonderful to be here.

Summer smiled to herself glad that she had made the decision to sit in front of Xavier. "So now that we've had a tie what do you think each of us should do?" she asked turning in the saddle so that both of her legs hung off one side of Lady and she was sitting sideways in X's arms.

"Hmm... " Xavier pondered, trying to think of something that was at least somewhat exciting. That meant house chores were completely out of the question, he thought. "I say we both strip!" He couldn't stop himself from chuckling a little. The memory was still at the back of his mind, and when it snaked back onto the tip of his tounge it created energy of sorts.
Lady came to a stop once the entrance to the barn was directly infront of her. She whinnied at the others as though to signal this and lowered her head to graze contentedly on the grass below her hooves.

Summer's face turned a bright red color but she said in a somewhat amused voice, "Alright when and where?" She looked him directly in his eyes and thought, He must be thinking of when i striped earlier or maybe he wasn't who know. She laughed alittle her eyes were sparkling with the challenge. "Your not afraid are you?"

"Tonight, midnight - when everyone is asleep. It'll be fun." Xavier smirked suggestively at Summer, raising his eyebrows again. Well, at least he wasn't puffing up like he had done in the kitchen earlier that day.
Xavier looked at Lady grazing and smiled a little. "What d'you want to do now? We've got a while, I guess."
