[IC] A Whole New World

[KatherinWinter]

Zack nodded as if he understood exactly what the man was saying. He was glad to hear that the hay had been taken care of and the stable seemed very quiet and peaceful. He thought it would be a good place to put a new foal. He thought the chances of the creature being comfortable here were good. "The foal doent have a name yet. When I see the animal I will know what name to give him. I think my friend will be very pleased with everything you have done so far."

[Soul Hunter]

"Ah ok then" he smiled "and that's good, make sure she gets better for tomorrow she's got to go pick the foal up, we'e prepared a trailer and car she can borrow too, it's the stables so she can drive it." he said "ah right,keys she was to pick those up as well" he said and handed them to Zack "Make sure she gets them, she's collecting the foal in the morning ok?" he said to Zack. The shire next to the stable snorted and stuck it's head out looking to Zack and sniffing him "That's storm, he's a big softie really and we put him there since he'll be able to comfort the young foal, he's done that with several of the young shires that have come here even on a temporary basis."

[KatherinWinter]

Zack turned his attention to the full grown shire. He held his hand out to the animal palm up. He had seen others do this on his planet. He had never had a chance to interact with an animal on his home world. He was eager to do so here. "I will make sure that she gets the keys. I am sure that she knows about the car and the trailer but I will remind her. It is good of you to have an older calm adult close for the young foal. I am sure that will help."

[Soul Hunter]

"Can't get much calmer than this gentle giant that's for sure" he chuckled and watched as the horse touches Zack's pal "here give him this" he handed him some carrot, old boy loves his carrots" he grinned and watched as the horse gently took the carrot off of Zack's palm before crunching the carrot happily. "You should head back soon, knowing her she probably want to know what going on"

[KatherinWinter]

"You are right. I don't that she is resting the way she is suppose to be." Zack gently patted the shire's nose. "Thank you for showing me everything. I will reassure Keita that you have everything ready for tomorrow. I will see you then." Zack told Michael before heading back to Keita's house. He was glad to see that they had such a nice place for the foal to stay. He hoped that the creature and Keita would get along well.

[Soul Hunter]

"Yeah, you're right about that" he laughed. Once back at home Keita defiantly had not been resting as she was sitting up in bed making another list of things she needed to do. She heard the door opening and got up "Everything ok there?" she asked him.

[KatherinWinter]

"You promised to rest." Zack picked her up into his arms. If he didn't take her to bed she wasn't going to rest the way she needed to.he cared her up the stairs. He wasn't going to tell her anything until she was laying down. "You need to trust in others. The stable has things well in hand. They are ready for your little foal." he promised as he laid her on the bed. He pulled the blankets up around her.

[Soul Hunter]

A little surprise when he picked her up she ended up holding onto him automatically "Ok, I'll definitely rest this time" she said to him as he tucked her up in bed "and ok that's good, I just wanted to make sure is all" she frowned and eventually she got some rest and had a nap, not waking up until later on.

[KatherinWinter]

After settling her into bed. Zack stayed beside her until she really did fall asleep. Once he was sure that she was resting the way she needed to he went back to downstairs. He went back to working on his sculpture while he waited.

[Soul Hunter]

Whens eh did finally wake up she moved and got out of bed before heading downstairs "What time is it?" she asked him as she got herself a drink in order to help herself wake up a little better.

[KatherinWinter]

"It is evening." Zack told her. He couldn't tell her the exact time. He was focused on the finishing touches of the sculpture of her pet. He looked it over before blowing of the some dust. "Perfect." He said loud. He got up and brought the statue to her. "It is done."

[Soul Hunter]

Keita nodded "I'll start making dinner in a minute" she said thinking about what they could have that evening and looked to the sculpture and smiled "Wow, it's perfect" she smiled "I never got around to clearing that space though so it'll have to go in my room with the other one I'm afraid" she said a little sheepishly.

[KatherinWinter]

Zack beamed pleased that she liked the little statue of her pet as much as she like the one he made of her. He glowed with pride as she told him how much she liked it. "That's fine."

[Soul Hunter]

Keita smiled and headed upstairs she put it beside the other statue and then spoke "Thanks again for checking on the stable for me" she said softly.

[KatherinWinter]

"You are welcome. I don't know much about such things but I was impressed by their set up. They have put a older horse in the stall next to where your new foal will go. The owner promised to give me a tour so that I can help you take care of him." Zack told her.

[Soul Hunter]

"Ah, that's good" she said to him "If it's him then I think it is he'll defiantly help the young filly settle in" she smiled at him. "Plus I think he was the foal's father as well so that's very good, she'll recognise his scent and it'll put the foal at ease " she smiled at him.

[KatherinWinter]

"She would recognize his scent? That would be very helpful. You are lucky to have him as an option to put next to her. That way she shouldn't be too upset in her new home." Zack told her.

[Soul Hunter]

"Yeah exactly" she smiled and began making them some dinner getting him to chop up some vegetables and also showed him how to cook the steak they were having that night as well so he could learn a bit more too.

[KatherinWinter]

Zack watched her cook careful. He had cooked meat similar to her steaks at home. Her methods didn't differ very much from the ones he had used. He liked that she took the time to show him her way of doing things.

[Soul Hunter]

Once it was ready she put it out on the table thinking to herself for a moment before there was a knock at the door. "Can you prepare the food for me Zack?" she asked him as she headed to the door. It was the federal people again "What is it?" she asked "We got word from an employee of ours that someone went over and checked your stable for you, who was that?" they asked, they seemed to know something was not quite right. Frowning she looked to them "My boyfriend, i asked him to go since i wasn't too eel this afternoon"
