096: Just Rain?

[livingmyths]

I guess I have to think about things some more. Some people who are really important to me don't want to call me River because Rain is really important to them.

So maybe... maybe Rain is good enough. I have to think about it for a while.


[Private to Harry]

Harry? Is he all right? Can I see him?


[Private to Thomas[

Thomas... This doesn't change the way I feel about you.

I just want to help. Please let me? At least keep talking to me.

I'll be watching Orion and pretending I'm with you.

"Good horses are always worth the price." Besides, he knew he had the money. Mat tightened his grip on her a little more to keep her from falling as he laughed at her reaction.

She scrambled back around, letting him steady her. "So what are you going to name her?"

Re: Action!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

"I don't know. You'll have to help me." He shifted her a little so that way she was balanced again.

"I've never named a horse before," she admitted. "I don't know what sorts of things they're supposed to be called."

Re: Action!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

"They can be named anything you want them to be. Anything at all."

Re: Action!

"Like... Feather?" she said teasingly.

Re: Action!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

He thought about that and nodded. "One of my sisters named a horse Feather once."

Re: Action!

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

"Really?" she said curiously. "I was joking. What horse could be a Feather?"

Re: Action!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

"One that was gentle and had a soft coat like a feather. It was her turn and that was the name she liked." He remembered teasing her about it too.

Re: Action!

"Huh... that makes sense." Rain looked thoughtfully at the horse they were riding. "I don't think she's a Feather. Maybe a Chocolate something."

Re: Action!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

"A Chocolate something, hm? It's good for her coloring." He looked over Rain's shoulder at the horse's head.

Re: Action!

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

"You have to help too," she said with a grin.

Re: Action!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

"Oops. I forgot all about that." He laughed and thought for a moment. "Chocolate something... It should be something for her gentle nature."

Re: Action!

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

"Chocolate Kisses?" she said with a giggle. "No, we couldn't call her something so silly."

Re: Action!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

"Chocolate Kisses?" He laughed. "And why can't we call her something silly? She's ours."

Re: Action!

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

"Mat! She's your horse. You wouldn't want to call her something crazy!"

Re: Action!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

"Our horse."

Re: Action!

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

She turned to look at him seriously. "Really?"

Re: Action!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

He laughed and nodded. "Really."

Re: Action!

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

She stretched up to kiss him impulsively. "Oh Mat!"

Re: Action!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

He returned the kiss with a smile. "You're welcome."

Re: Action!

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

She leaned forward to rest her head against the horse for a moment, totally trusting Mat to keep her safe, and whispered to the animal before sitting back up again and snuggling against Mat. "She doesn't mind."

Re: Action!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

Laughing softly, he leaned forward and kissed her cheek. "Well that's good."

Re: Action!

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

"It was a lucky day when I truth or dared you during that curse," she said cheerfully.

Re: Action!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

He grinned. "Your lucky day or mine?"
