[She looks a little out of place since she has no idea what she's doing, but she'll roll with it. After all, it's not like she's going to die, now, is she?]
I don't think he speaks English, number one.
[There is no number two, she just tries not to look stupid or fall off.]

Action!
Date: 2008-08-01 01:17 am (UTC)[He says to the horse despite Claire's doubts. They're walking at an easy pace, and it's now that Caspian decides to remark.]
Are you afraid of falling? He won't throw you, Claire.
Action!
Date: 2008-08-01 01:21 am (UTC)I'm not afraid. Just a little worried this saddle is going to slide off and I'll get trampled at breakneck speeds.
[No, really.]
Action!
Date: 2008-08-01 01:25 am (UTC)[He leads in, knowing she'd rather not!]
Action!
Date: 2008-08-01 01:31 am (UTC)[She's laughing, so she obviously doesn't mean it.]
Action!
Date: 2008-08-01 01:34 am (UTC)[He grins. The horses are walking along the less crowded edge of the City, far enough from the urban lights but certainly not in the woods.]
Action!
Date: 2008-08-01 01:39 am (UTC)[Maybe when she got better at this, she could try going faster. The pace they're moving at now is just fine, though.]
When did you say you started riding horses?
Action!
Date: 2008-08-01 01:41 am (UTC)[He nods to her. Now just imagine Claire, doing a routine on horseback.]
Action!
Date: 2008-08-01 01:45 am (UTC)[You don't want to imagine that. It's scary. She's laughing and making a face.

Date: 2008-08-01 02:05 am (UTC)[See the horse lift his head and toss his mane briefly, as if to prove a point.]
I suppose where you are from those automobiles have replaced horses.
Action!
Date: 2008-08-01 02:12 am (UTC)We still have a lot of horses in Texas, but obviously not as many as cars and trucks and things. This is a little backwards for us.
Action!
Date: 2008-08-01 02:13 am (UTC)[He asks with a smile.]
Action!
Date: 2008-08-01 02:20 am (UTC)[Does that make sense?]
Action!
Date: 2008-08-01 02:23 am (UTC)[Word games?]

Date: 2008-08-01 02:39 am (UTC)[Caspian repeats with a playful roll of his dark eyes.]
Action!
Date: 2008-08-01 02:43 am (UTC)[if she were close enough she'd smack him. On the arm, of course.]
Action!
Date: 2008-08-01 02:47 am (UTC)[He muses, not seriously of course.]
Action!
Date: 2008-08-01 02:53 am (UTC)[Attention back on the horse. Not because he's going to fast or she's falling, but because she wants to prevent these things from happening.]
Action!
Date: 2008-08-01 02:59 am (UTC)[He asks, attention on Claire because Caspian is good like that.]
Action!
Date: 2008-08-01 03:09 am (UTC)From cars and stuff. The environment is kind of going to hell.
[Yes, that was an H word.]
Action!
Date: 2008-08-01 03:13 am (UTC)What does that mean?
Action!
Date: 2008-08-01 03:29 am (UTC)It means it's getting really bad. Dirty and destroyed and stuff.
