"But could she come in to see him," Phoenix said as she rubbed Gryffin's roof.
Gryffin let out a contented squeak as his mother stroked him.
~~~~~~
"A T/A with pale blues and a black paintjob, newer model compared to Aunt Chloe," Kitt repeated.
'...Is she... Gifted so to speak. She hasn't tried frying anyone has she?'

Raine snickered again as she checked Doc's temperature, "No hard feelings, Lightning.... Hmm... fever's starting to drop."

"Depending on preference, the nomads hunt with bows or rifles." Julian said, "And some diehards use lances. It is possible to hunt with a handgun, thought it'd better be large caliber and the bullet well-placed. And the nomad horses definitely take time to get to know, but their advantage is that they can look out for themselves for months on end on marginal terrain, with minimal involvement from humans. They're bold, intelligent animals, so they're ideal hellride mounts. You just have to be able to think three steps ahead of them. They can't be conquered by brute force. They'll kill anyone who tries, and their hooves don't miss."
Misty laughed at Ebony's retelling of the incident. "Rodgers had it coming. He's SO a jerk."
Bree at last managed a diffident smile as she came under Shale's gaze.

"If Elizabeth and Atsuko allow her to come in," nodded Ricardo.
* * * * *
"According to her friend, Ebony, she's a user," Sapphire said, "but I haven't seen her do anything to anybody. Tell him, Kitt."
* * * * *
"Then I'll probably be better by the time the Cruise starts tonight," said Doc.
Lightning smiled at Raine, "Thank you." He turned to Doc, "I hope you feel better, Doc. You know I can't do well without a crew chief."
"I know," nodded the old Hornet, "I'll get better soon. I still have a lot to teach you, Hotrod."
* * * * *
"Well, he did provoke me," said Ebony, "So it was his fault anyway. That encounter was recorded at that diner anyway. And Kendall said that he wanted to watch it over again, too."
Shale smiled pleasantly at Bree.

Raine smiled warmly at Lightning, "I'll be sure to tell him to go easy on you for a while." She whispered and winked at the red stocker.

"I know," Phoenix said as sighed as she stopped stroking Gryffin.
Gryffin squeaked in complaint as he looked up at his parents and letting out a yawn.
~~~~~~
"She is," Kitt said. "But she hasn't tried to do anything to anyone. You think she is, she did have their picture and everything."
'She does... You're at the mountain with the humans right?'
"Well yeah."
'I need to see this before I tell your mother. I have a client out there I can meet with before I check her out'.

Lightning smiled. "I appreciate that, Raine," he whispered back.
* * * * *
Ricardo nuzzled Phoenix's fender and then looked down at Gryffin, "I think someone was really starting to enjoy that."
* * * * *
"So I guess this place is going to have another visitor," said Sapphire, "Okay, I think that you should go ahead and tell him this. Phoenix just had a baby and it's a good idea to act civil around her."

"I do know handguns are not ideal for hunting." Daniel said in a 'I'm not that dumb, you know?' tone. "It is just the weapon I was trained with. I can pick up a rifle, would take me few hours to get reaquinted with it."
"As for Frisa, we seem to think alike when riding. Willingness horse, but gives the right amound of energy for the right action for me."

Raine turned to her father, "Anything else I can get you, Dad?"

"Alright," Phoenix laughed and went back to rubbing the little Mustang's roof. "Not even a teen and already telling what to do."
Gryffin squeaked happily and settled back down in his blankets.
~~~~~~
"And Sapph says be civil too," Kitt said. "She just had a baby so its probably a good idea."
'Alright'. Wilton said. 'See you in a day or two then. Take care son'.
"You too Pop," Kitt said as he hung up.

"That's what matters when working with them." Julian nodded. "And I like the economical aspects of them, no wasted motion or energy in them, but not peanut-rollers either, if you've ever been through the horrors of a fashionable "Western Pleasure" class. So, in hunting, they just put a bit of movement pressure on the bison, just enough to get them to move through a choke point, and the archers and lancers will be waiting there. They generally take some young, stupid bulls. Those who hunt with rifles do it from farther off. "
"I'd like to see that." Misty cackled. Shayla and Seth were in agreement.
"Sounds like a lousy excuse for a lawyer." Ivy snorted. "Hope the judge put her teeth to him."
"She gave him a real dressing-down." Robin nodded. "But Ebony can tell you more."
Bree found herself blushing, even deeper than the dayglo red that was her predominant color. Surely this man could scent her biochemistry and do the math about her condition. To men in general, she was just a friend and always would be.

"Went to a dressage show once. I am quite certain that the tail does not need to be wind up to start the horse like the old cars." Daniel shook his head. "When do you think the hunt will be?"

"No, I'm fine for now," Doc shook his front, "But thanks anyway."
"Well, we better let ya get some rest now," said Sheriff as he started to herd Lightning out, "We'll see you at the Cruise later tonight."
"See ya," Lightning said before he was herded out of the backroom.
* * * * *
Ricardo chuckled, "He's not even a day old yet."
* * * * *
"I've written just about everything that happened in court down in my notebook," said Ebony, "I was going to turn it into a story so that everyone could read it."
She looked back at the entrance, hoping that she'd be allowed to go and visit Phoenix and Ricardo and Gryffin yet.
* * * * *
Sapphire sighed as Kitt hung up. "So he's coming over in a day or so? Maybe we should tell Phoenix so she won't be surprised by his unexpected visit."
* * * * *
Shale was getting that peculiar scent that was telling him of Bree's condition, but that wasn't what he was seeking. Of course, he did feel rather alone by himself, but it would be nice to have a companion to talk to at least.

"Really?" Bree lifted her head. "That sounds like it would be an interesting read, Ebony."
It was then that Atsuko came out into the late-afternoon sunlight. "Ebony, Ricardo and Phoenix are awake if you want to see them."
"Oh, modern dressage." Julian scowled. "Don't ever get Mother started on "Rollkur". She'd swear like a sailor. I'm thinking she might show up tonight, tomorrow or a week from now. I can get the general time frame but I can never pin her down exactly."

Shale nodded, "It sure does."
"Hey, I might publish it if I'm able," said Ebony, "Never really tried to publish anything of what I drew or wrote at all. Didn't have the courage to do so."
Ebony turned as Astuko came out and told her about Ricardo and Phoenix, "Oh, that's cool. I've been really anxious about them."
