Kassidy sighed. Her movements were slowing as the adrenaline wore off. "So.. you already know my Stallion. Helga's got a voice loud enough to wake a hibernating grizzly bear." she rolled her eyes. "Who's your stallion?" she asked softly.Quote:"Yes hopefully." She snickered. "Wish I had some of your size and toughness.""Now hopefully they'll leave me alone." Kassidy sighed. She continued washing Don's shirt, which had gotten dirty when the mares shoved her away.

"Is that girl who hates you, me?" Hannah asked quietly, her cheeks pink.
____
Noonan licked his spoon clean. "Maybe." He said casually then smirked at her blushing. He had to literally wipe it off his face.
_________
Hannah's face was red as well. She looked down at her food, fighting a smile. "Who says I hate you?"
"His name is Jessup... brother of them meaner than snot Conner. But I am still Jessup's House Mare. " She sighed. "He was mean at first then softened over time and ... grew on me. They he brought in another female.. He kissed her." She slammed a shirt into the soapy water. "Then after I threw a fit and we talked he promised me he wouldn't touch her and that he didn't love her blah blah blah. I know Rukes take more than one wife.. but not all of them.. and I am ... I don't want to share him."
____
"You have in your own ways. But recently you have changed... I figured you had just finally decided to be nice and tried hard not to like you but it.. kinda happened....." He grew quiet.
Kassidy looked up at Lola in surprise. She was not expecting a rant.

______
Hannah also went quiet. She slowly took another bite of food.
"I am trying to be enough." She sighed. "I don't think I am." Mares often only had each other to listen and talk to. "My best friend... Shera.. she is gone. He Stallion and her took off."

"I made you uncomfortable didn't I?" Noonan asked.
"I never really had friends on Centauria.... or so I thought. When those rukes came and..." she stopped and scowled furiously. "I miss my dogs so much." she said softly.

"No.. not really." Hannah said truthfully, shaking her head.
"I miss my family..... " She touched Kassidy's arm. "You have me as a friend now."

"Oh..." He blinked. "Well... I can be grateful that your thoughts of me are pleasant until we say goodbeye."
Kassidy looked up and smiled. "I'm glad.." she said.
_____
Hannah nodded.
"Good... You better hurry Helga is right about her time limit. She'll get decked for it." Lola sighed.
___
He finished his food in silence. Every once in a while he would look at her. His feelings not apparent in hi eyes as he concealed them.
Kassidy finished seconds later. She wrung the shirt out, then packed everything. "Maybe I'll see you around." she said to Lola, then began to head off.
______
Hannah didn't look at him once. She was very good at concealing her emotions in her expressions, but her eyes told everything.
"You will see me here." She nodded then tried to finish before Helga got mad at her.
_____
Noonan then went to clean up.
Silkies
Kassidy smiled back at her, then picked up her pace and headed down the path toward Don's tent.
______
Hannah was slow to finish eating; her thoughts were troubling her. And as much as she hated to admit it--for reasons she didn't even know--she had grown very fond of Noonan.
Don was already inside hanging up tent dividers for rooms. "Hello.. I admit that was entertaining earlier.. are you hurt at all?"
____
Noonan put everything away. "I am going to go shower.. can you keep an ear out for alarms?"
Kassidy shook her head. "Nope." she smirked, and then set down the basket. "Is there a line outside that I can hang these on?" she gestured to the clothes.
_______
"Sure!" Hannah nodded, yanked from her thoughts. "No problem." she looked away, then called back to him before he could leave. "Oh wait, what do I do if there is an alarm?"
"Inside." He pointed. "I need to get another one it will be behind the tent." He watched her. "I admit that was a turn on back there... You held your ground well."
_____
"Come in and get me." He smirked. "Just keep your eyes closed." Noonan teased .
"Well thank you.." Kassidy smiled, and started hanging up the clothes. She paused a second later. "Hey... what do you mean 'a turn on'?" she asked, arching a brow.
_______
Hannah stuck her tongue out at him. "Hardy har." she said, and then nodded. "Okay.... If anything happens I'll yell through the door." she smirked.
