Raine glanced up when she saw Lightning enter the room, "Hi, Lightning... How's training going for you?"

"Yeah." Daniel grabbed a dry towel to get the worst of the sweat off. "I think I found my horse. Frisa, one of the mares from the nomads." He kissed Liska lightly, aware that he had sweat profusely, and probably smelled.

"Maybe," Kitt shrugged as he dialed on his cell system and put it on speaker as he dialed a number. "But my old man might know more than I do."
~~~~~~
"Guess that is good," Phoenix said as she got the bottle ready.
Gryffin looked up with his pale blues and squeaked at Ricardo.

Brett flared his nostrils as a new scent came in on the wind. "Another helo, coming this way."
"So how's he liking fatherhood all over again?" Shayla asked.
Liska extended a hand towards Frisa. "Hi, girl." She returned Daniel's embrace, notwithstanding the sweat. It was not nearly as hot as it had been over the summer, when even the aircraft were taking shade in the mountain's shadow and avoiding the sun.

"It's going okay, Raine," Lightning answered, "I didn't want Doc to think I'd slack off just because he's sick."
Doc gave an amused snort, "Well, that's good. That way, I won't have to chase you around the track as much to get you in top shape."
Lightning just chuckled politely, "Heh... yeah."

Shale spotted the mountain in the distance was heading toward it, radioing in to the radio shack that he was coming in and preparing himself for a landing.
* * * * *
Ebony chuckled, "I guess he's taking to it pretty well. He's already had a lot of experience with me."
Then her senses became alert as she picked up the same scent that Brett did. Another helo was coming, but from which direction?
* * * * *
Sapphire shrugged, "Whatever works." She settled down to listen in as Kitt dialed his father.
* * * * *
Ricardo grinned and crept closer to study Gryffin more closely. "Look, Nix," he pointed with a tire, "He's got pale blue eyes. Just like yours."

Raine rolled her eyes slightly in amusement, "What do you do to him, Dad? Chase him around the Butte with Red's hose turned on high?" She snickered.

Frisa stretched forward to sniff Liska. She showed the general curiosity of a domesticated horse towards a human. She then withdrew slightly to give Liska a breathing space.
"She's has willingness. Basically high spirited and more independent than general horses. No one really managed to connect with her until I came." Daniel said to explain why he had become the rider of her.

"Now he's a looker." Ivy remarked as the newcomer came into view and hovered over the LZ some distance away. "He looks to be about Bree's age." The implied too bad hung in the air, not close enough for Robin to call her on it.
"All the nomad horses seem to be very choosy about some things - who rides them, or which stallion breeds them. They only liked the Fjord and Haflinger studs and one of the gaited stallions, the black chestnut with the flaxen mane and tail. I never thought such a color could occur in nature till I saw him." Liska said. "And as stallions go, he's a gentleman."

Kitt waited as the phone rang and picked up. 'Wilton StreamLiner'.
"Hey Pop," Kitt said. "You free right now?"
'I got a few hours free Kitt, what is is'.
"Its about Uncle Chase," Kitt said.
There was a pause on the other end. 'What... What about him...'.
~~~~~~
"I'd figured he would since he's a user," Phoenix said as she offered Gryffin the bottle. "The blue eyes are a marker."
Gryffin squeaked once more and latched onto the bottle and suckled happily.

"I wonder how they will react to AI." Daniel said in thought. "Maybe we can trick them, let the stallion they want mount her, but we get him artificial vagina while doing the AI to the mare."
Frisa chose that moment to nudge Daniel on the back, as if she was telling him 'like hell'.

(((((OOC: Sorry, had to let my brother download some essential components for his computer, since he can't get his to work right now.)))))
Doc chuckled, "No, but that might be a nice idea to do to him later on in the future."
Lightning just grinned nervously and Sheriff was trying hard not to laugh.
* * * * *
"Si," Ricardo nodded, smiling at his son, "And I bet he won't be lacking in training either."
* * * * *
Sapphire listened to the conversation between Kitt and his father and wondered where it was going to go.
* * * * *
Ebony just looked perplexed as she watched the new helo settle on the tarmac and stilled his blades before making his way over to where the rest of the aircraft were at.

"No," Phoenix said as she held the bottle for Gryffin. "There's certainly enough of us around."
~~~~~~
"Do you know anything about why he left?" Kitt asked.
'He... He had to go to Vegas...' Wilton said. 'To work under his father. Why the sudden interest?'
"Did he... Did he ever have a kid?"
'No, but your aunt, Chloe was term when they left... Don't know what happened to the kid but she died..'

"And we have a whole mountain full of people, humans and cars, to watch him when we're both too busy," added Ricardo.

Sapphire poked Kitt with a tire as her violet eyes said, TELL-HIM-WHAT-YOU'VE-LEARNED-JUST-NOW.

Brett went out to meet the newcomer, head raised and nostrils flared as he got the measure of the stranger and checked out his attitude. It was starting to get on into the evening, and the shadows were getting long. "G'afternoon." he said. "Can I help you?"
"I think he's th' guy who took that Marty Jackson away." Misty said to Ebony.
Liska reached into her pocket for a clementine from the hothouse, peeled it, and offered a few slices to Frisa. "I think they did AI on a couple of the ones who just didn't like stallions." She looked over the mouse-dun mare, noting the striping on the shoulder, legs and barrel, and the white spot on the chin and white coronet on the left rear foot. Like all the nomad horses, Frisa had a mane that stood up like brush bristles, strong loins, a muscular neck and barefoot hooves that were thick-walled and tough as rocks. She appeared to be one genetic hair away from being a true wild horse. Tempermentally, they seemed midway between a Przewalski's horse and a completely domesticated type - tolerating human interaction, but never to be mastered by force. One had to be accepted as a "herd member" to get anywhere with them. "They're almost like cats in horsehide."

"Afternoon," Shale remained polite, even as Brett came out to meet him, "Name's Shale Huntington. I'm just here visiting and to see how everyone is doing after that incident with those two bank robbers. I heard that there was a trial concerning one of them."
* * * * *
Ebony blinked and looked at Misty. "I don't know who he is," she said, "I wasn't here when he came."
