Kuronami wrote:I continued my work in the stables getting hay to horses and waiting on my kids to bring me some more to finish out. Sugar seemed especially restless right now, eagerly awaiting her share. "Easy girl, it's coming." I consoled as I fed her. Note for later, stock up on more oats for such an event.
Outside my two little ones in the pasture were examining all the hay, stacked or baled up, either way making sure it was dry enough it could be stored or fed and not not make us worry about molding. Ash gathered up one more, enough to finish, "This one is good!" He proclaimed in his usually boisterous and proud voice. So much like his father! "I'll take this one over. Keep an eye out."
"Sure!" Yuzu said with a nod. Ash brought me what I needed and he helped me out with the rest. "Feed them, I'll get water."
"Yess'um!" I went to the other end of the stable to get the hose out and fill up the troughs with fresh cold water. A day like this, they'd surely need it.
Meanwhile outside, Yuzu leaned against the fence post, being mindful of her arm as I told her to be she lit up like the sun seeing a stranger had now come up to the fence. Given we so rarely did get visitors save for the odd relative, it left little doubt in her mind this was HIM, he was our special guest who would stay with us a few days. A quick dash over to the fence she was there to greet him. "Hello!" She said with her smile "Are you Mister uuuh well..." She pondered a bit, not seemingly able to recall his name "Well, you're the man Momma talked about right? The one who's staying a few days with us! Hehehehe" She giggled, she giggles a lot, honestly that's her cutest trait if you ask me!
"I'm Yuzu, my momma is tending to all the horses in the stables. Come on in." She lifted up the latch of the gate allowing him and his trusty steed to enter. Yuzu, my little helper, she lead him to the stables where I was still at work, now filling up the troughs with water.
"Oooh momma! Guess what, he's finally here."
In a surprise I turned about, unfortunately giving him a little spray of the hose. "Oh, my! Sorry." I quickly returned the hose to the troughs, now overflowing a bit but no matter given my son just as quickly jumped onto shutting the water off. "Aonas!" I said with a smile, he was pretty recognizable just like his picture he was. "Well needless to say, you made it! Welcome to our home! You know me already, Raimu is good. I guess the little gal was the one who greeted you here and let you in, this is my daughter Yuzu. And this is my son, Ash."
I placed my hands firmly on their shoulders, honestly I was a bit nervous or maybe more excited, some combo of both. Guess my shy side was coming out a bit plus who was I kidding he was a handsome man! Both my children said hello back after i introduced them. "And this is your ---" Took me a moment to summon the name of his horse, "
"His horse, momma" Yuzu corrected me and I laughed a little
"I know it's his horse, sweetie, I was trying to remember the name."

He complimented me further, saying I was more pretty than the profile picture I used. Not bad, really, flattering, most said I looked really young,I guess I did. The pic I used with my hair flowing freely and resting on my shoulder I thought gave me a maturity. Well being told I look youthful is not the worst in the world. "Thanks! You're pretty handsome yourself, Aonas. And quite the horse, Asalcloig is! She's a beauty this one. We're glad you could make it."
"Yessy" Yuzu responded in agreement, "We're really glad, Mister Aonas and you too, Ascaloig."
I moved over to my own Mustang mare, Sugar. Patting down on her, I introduced her. "This is Sugar, my own. Also a real scamp."

Kuronami wrote:I was a bit surprised but at the same time, not as much. He seemed like the kind of guy who would insist upon this. Far be it from me to impose a guest in my house on my land to work instead of being hospitable but he also caught me in a bit of a situation, given Yuzu's arm was on the mend and I only had Ash to help out. Yuzu could do a lot even with one arm but I also didn't want her to hurt herself further. How could I refuse. I smiled and said, "All right then, you got a deal. Consider yourself my short term ranch hand for a bit! You'll get a room, meals in further exchange for your work with me. In the meantime, why don't I show you to where you'll be staying. If you'll come on with us. Then we can talk further. Ash, Yuzu, come along and help our guest."
"Yessy!" Yuzu agreed
"Yes ma'am!" Ash also agreed.

Kuronami wrote:I chuckled a little, "Of course! Where are my manners now, gotta make sure your steed is taken care of as well. I have a stall set aside but you're also welcome to let him roam the pastures freely if you want. I'll leave it to you. Sugar I like to keep penned overnight but I let her roam during the day. In the meantime here let her gab some water and food." I gestured to the watering trough, plenty of cold water that I just filled and plenty of hay and oats to go around to feast upon.

Kuronami wrote:"Hehe" I giggled just a bit, he had a good bond all right with his horse and what a beauty she was! Maybe I'd get a chance to ride her, assuming she allowed strangers to ride her. Sugar was a bit more temperamental but enough soothing could calm her down just fine. "Right, come on this way." I lead him along back the house with my two children riding our heels. Opening the door it was a pretty simple humble sight of a nice family home. Pictures of all of us through the years adorned the wall and mantle. My wedding photo, pictures of me and my late husband as we bought our little piece of land we have here, me pregnant, and now me today with my two kids as they are. An antique grandfather clock that still ticked away stood in the corner. Our coats hung by the door, low enough for the children to grab and tall enough for me. I kicked off my boots at the door encouraging him and my children to do the same. "It's just this way." I continued to lead him around the house down the hallway three bedroom doors marked the end of the hall, one of which I had to force open given it stuck quite a bit. "Here we go! This is where you can stay. It's a guest room, I think you'll find it to your liking."
I went over and opened the window to let the breeze in. "Hang anything you like in the closet. We haven't had anyone in here in a while but I still changed out the sheets and bedding just to be safe. Bathroom is first door we passed in the hall and of course meals in the kitchen."

Kuronami wrote:Again I chuckled at the comparison. He made a strong point, camping out on just the hard ground with little camping gear can be a little tough on the back for sure. But nights like that were memorable. "I hear ya, loud and clear on that. I'm glad it's good here for you, should be a pleasant few days for you. Feel free to get settled in, I'm gonna clean up and start on something good for us to all eat tonight." I turned to my kids standing at my side "You two keep an eye on him, help him if he needs." They both gave a hardy yes as I gave each a pat to their head and I went to wash up a bit so I could start dinner for everyone. Feels like forever since I cooked for four instead of three but I'd do fine. It will be a great time with each other and it was nice to have an extra pair of hands even for just a few days.

Kuronami wrote:My two young ones complied with his request, happy to keep our new guest company for a while.
"Sure." Ash responded
"Mhm, we get it." Yuzu agreed to that sentiment as well. Of course the question came up about her arm. "I fell out of a tree." she responded simply.
"Well it was kind of my fault too." Ash added "We were both climbing the oak just outside the fence there. I guess I put my hands in the wrong spot because it made Yuzu stumble and fall out. But Doc West said it was just a mild sprang and should be good in a couple of weeks."
"Yeah. Just harder on mama given I can't do much work."

Kuronami wrote:They both giggled at the "few more screws loose" remark, Yuzu asked, "So you live near the ice? Does that mean it's really cold where you're at?"
"Yeah like are you covered in ice up there? Wouldn't that make it hard to raise horses?"
"Yeah sounds like it'd be tough to take care of horses if the days are really short and nights are long. Oh a dyke, that's like a big flood levee right? To keep back the water?"

Kuronami wrote:Both of them listened intently to him as they learned more about what he was like and what his land was like. They also took interest in his armor he just pulled from his bag but before that what he said caught their ears and made them nod in agreement, something they could relate to because it's something I stressed a lot. "Mhm hm!" Yuzu agreed to his sentiment "That's like us here. Well mama says, it's a hard life but we make do as well. And we like it. We like the horseys."
"Yeah when I get good 'nuff," Ashton said "I'll be a great rider too! Like you I bet. Bet you were like Yuzu and me when you was little and now you're super pro!"

Kuronami wrote:They both smiled at that "Yessy!" Yuzu said nearly leaping onto her feet "We could take you out and about the countryside and into town on horseback. Mama and Sugar would love that too I bet! And it's supposed to stay sunny through the rest of the day and good at night too, isn't it Ashy?"
"Yeah! At least tonight is good so yeah we can do that! Though can be fun to ride in rain too. Mama's real good at everythin' pretty much."

"Sure." My boy quickly threw out "So what do ya think of our mama? Isn't she the greatest?"
"Like super best!?"
"Nobody we know can ride quite like her."
