Horseback Riding | Closed
who: Billy Rocks & Rey (talentedscavenger)
what: Billy tries to teach Rey how to ride a horse.
when: March 9, during the day.
where: Buttercup Farms
warnings: None atm
[It still felt a bit odd to make an honest living after getting by with (hustled) gambling winnings for so long, but Billy was content with the peace surrounding the farm. Then if things got too quiet, a wild horse that was difficult to break in would appear, or he would venture outside the wall to look around. As long as it involved being outside, Billy had little reason to complain. Another definite plus was that there was plenty of room for Jina to run around, so long as she didn't bother the other animals.
Billy had been tending to a little painted colt in the barn while Jina rested with her head down just outside the entrance. Suddenly, her ears twitched and she abruptly lifted her head to see whose footsteps she heard. She booms out a deep bark before getting up and running over to the approaching figure. Billy looked up from the colt upon hearing Jina's bark, but then a small smile appeared on his lips and he tipped his hat.]
Hello there, Rey.

Hello there, Rey.
no subject
Sure, you can ask me questions about the world I'm from.
[Rey listened, watching Billy's demonstration and nodded her head. Approach and try to climb up on the horse's left side. Use her body's momentum to pull herself up. A bit different from mounting her speeder, but the principle was more or less the same. She did as he instructed her, placing her hands in the same spots he showed up and carefully got up. The first attempt, she didn't swing her leg all the way, and the second attempt she managed to get herself on the horse.
The reigns were in her hand and she was now higher than she had been before.]
How do you stay steady and not fall of?
[Because there was a big height difference now, and the horse was an actual creature versus a machine that she knew how to control.]
