Winter Pine Farms x White Blood Stables Roleplay Part 2

Arrival to White Blood Stables by Jegmadarka :pointl: For part 1, read here 
(day one, beginning)

DAY ONE, CONTINUED

In the distance you could hear Lovely yelling, "But, Caaaain!!!!" and then all was silent.

When the Cain and Bones were done putting their horses up and the demonic horses were fed, they walked to the main house and announced the arrival of the ladies. Dinner was in preparation, and would be ready shortly.

“Come on Katalina, we should leave now so that we’re not there late. That’ll be awkward for sure,” she grabbed her phone off the bed, leaving the room, “Kat?” she called, when she was answered with silences, she went searching for the woman. It took some time but eventually found her in Norm’s stall, reading to him in Italian while sitting on the floor. “Are you coming?” she asked, leaning on the entry way.

“No. They may ask questions.” She sighed, closing the book. Skylar rolled her eyes, “And? We do the same. No harm in it. If you don’t want to answer then say so. Now let’s go,” she left the stable and started towards the main building. Katalina followed behind but was more reluctant.

When she heard a knock, Kayla bounced up off one of the couches to grab the door. She opened the door, her expression one of excitement. "Welcome! Dinner is almost ready, please, come in.." Jennifer was in the open kitchen that was wrapped with a bar counter and bar stools. The overall theme was very western, with lots of brown interior, lots of things carved or made from wood. The ceiling of the 3 story cabin was high, and all levels were open with wood railing, able to be seen from the front door. Bodies sat around the open space, a few couches in the large living room. Everyone was focused on Ray and Ronnie in the center, wrestling with their shirts off. They made growling noises the didn't seem quite human. Ray had Ronnie in a tight spot, behind the red head with his arm around his throat in a choke hold. Everyone was laughing and cheering and seeming to have a good time. When Ray noticed the door was open, he let go of Ronnie and helped the red head up. Ronnie was flushed and laughing. Most everyone looked over to the girls in a friendly manner. Aside from Cora, of course, who was more focused on her sketch pad, headphones in with music blasting. Jennifer walked over from around the kitchen, "Don't mind them, boys will be boys you know! I am just finishing fixen up our meal.. Why don't y'all come in and socialize? I'm Jennifer, and y'all must be Skylar and Katalina! Who is who? Could Katherine not make it?" Jennifer seemed curious and concerned.

Skylar smiled, “I’m Skylar or sky for short and that’s Katalina or kat, whatever you prefer I guess” she grinned, “Or kitten.” Skylar quickly went quiet with the dirty look she received from Katalina, “Or not. Heh, nice to meet you Jennifer. No sadly, Katherine could not. We have a lot of project horses coming in and she’s been working with them so she sent us.”

Katalina was a little less friendly and didn’t talk much, honestly she didn’t want to be here. And now, she felt the need to hide, with so many people around she felt more self conscious about the scars that laced around her arms, shoulders and the one her face as well. She had plenty more hidden, including under the leather brace she wore on her wrist, that hid quite a few scars that seem to travel above the brace. “Good to meet you too,” she mumbled, glancing over at the men who were wrestling.

Ronnie put his shirt back on, and Ray followed suit, as to not make their guests uncomfortable. MJ, the most renowned English rider at the stables, got up from the couch, moving her 4 children, aged 2 years, in the process so she could get up. The kids started to protest, so a tall, large man who was sitting next to MJ picked one of the kids up and tossed her in the air playfully. She exploded in laughter, and the other kids started crawling over the man, tugging on his hair and trying to reach their sister, demanding they get a turn. MJs dirty blonde curls bounced as she walked, and she went to the girls with literally open arms, but did not hug them. Instead, she let her hands fall at her hips, "Finally, you have arrived! How were your travels?"

Cain came with Bones down the stairs, holding hands, "Ah! Ladies, you came for dinner! Nice to see ya again!" Cain went into the kitchen to help Jennifer finish up dinner, and Bones sat at the bar, watching Cain and Jen in silence.

Skylar glanced at Katalina, nudging her with her elbow, trying to get her to be a bit more social. “Our travels were good. Some trouble with the mare we brought, Vodka, she thought everything was going to eat her on the way here and then we got a bit lost on the beach but then we ran into Cain and bones, not every day you see a talking horse or one that drools lava” she chuckled. She didn’t seem to mind the socialization and seemed to enjoy it compared to Kat.

“Maybe I should go check on Vodka...She didn’t seem to like being in a stall.”

Skylar rolled her eyes, “She was happy to be in that stall and you know it, no need to check on her anyway, she’s probably already settled down and gone to sleep” she shook her head, returning her attention to MJ, “Quite the little clan you got there” she was referring to MJ’s four kids.

"Yes, Cain has quite the collection of interesting animals.. I don't know how fond of Demonic horses Jen is, she had their stable built far from her stable. It is probably better that way, for both the normal and demonics." MJ paused to look at her children and the man handling them, "Ah, yes. My darlings, they are certainly a handful. Its a tragedy that their father isn't in their lives, but Adrian is very good to them.." MJ looked to Kat, she had a very motherly vibe about her, just like Jennifer did, and could tell the girl was uncomfortable "If you want to check on your horse, you can. I beleive dinner is ready now though, we will save you a plate if all of this is too overwhelming for you, and you can eat later if you would like? If not, lets eat!" She smiled and turned to go to the kitchen, where the food was laid out in a buffet style. All types of meats, salads, pastas, and breads were laid out. Jennifer left the kitchen. She always prepared the food, but always made sure everyone else was fed before herself, and always ate last. She spoke up, "Everyone, please, come eat! Guests first, of course!" When MJ heard that guests ate first, she quickly retorted, "Kids before all!" As she made 4 little plates of food and brought them to her children, sitting back down by the man.

After MJ had spoken to Katalina, she was ready to leave but then changed her mind and stay to eat with everyone. By the time the dinner had ended, Katalina seemed a bit more open and relax, and even ended up with one of MJs daughter in her lap, playing with the buckle of her leather brace that was on her arm. She didn't seem bothered by it. It was amusing to listen to everyone talk to each other and even though she wasn't very talkative in the beginning she seemed more social now.

Skylar felt the need to ask questions, like what horse was their favorite and things of that nature. "Hey Kat, you should show them that picture of Norm when you first got him. That horse went from a thin Friesian carriage horse to a massive draft horse. Seriously he's massive compared to what he was two years ago" she leaned back in her chair, watching the woman.

Katalina shook her head "I really don't see what's the big deal. I mean yeah, his appearance changed a lot and I managed to get him to stop carrying his head so tucked in but anyone could of done that." Katalina didn't see the point of bringing everyone's attention to her, all she did was give some TLC to Norm and give him a better life. Anyone could of done that. Sighing, she reached into her pocket and handed Skylar her phone. "Your idea, you can show them."

Skylar huffed, "Your horse not mine, I'm just riding him. You pretty much taught him to be a horse for once" shaking her head, she messed with the phone for a moment then passed it to Cain first since he seemed to enjoy the stallion. The phone displayed. two images next to each other. One dated from two years ago that showed a Friesian looking horse that resembled Norm. It stood awkwardly with it's mane and tail barely existing, blood running out his nose and mouth while his stayed tuck extremely close to his chest with pinned ears. The photo next to that one showed a recent picture of Norm. In this photo he was bigger and resembled a huge draft cross, he stood completely relaxed with a roached mane and short tail. He was more alive and aware in this photo unlike the other. In this photo however, it had Katalina laying on his back and hugging his large neck. In the previous photo Katalina was just holding his halter and keeping some distance from him.

"Oh, I have seen Norm first hand- he is so spunky! It's great!" Cain chimed into the group. He had his hand on Bones knee, and Bones was laying his head on Cains shoulder. When Bones had been eating, he would drop his head towards his plate and lift the food under his bandanna. He only had mashed potatoes and some pudding on his plate. When Cain was handed the phone he couldn't help but smile and shake his head yes, "Yes, you seemed to do wonders for him. And I love this picture on the right how you two look so close. I think he may have changed you a little, too?" Cain smiled and showed Bones, then passed it to Ray, one of their English instructors.

"Well, it certainly looks like an impressive change, well done Katalina," Ray chimed in, and showed the others, passing the phone long. They all had nice things to say about the girl and her horse. Cora, though, was still in the corner by her lonesome. She closed her sketch book, stood, and looked over to the group. This was the first time she noticed the two girls. Her eyes were pure black, and she was scattered in burn marks, including three long strips of burn across the left half of her face, and another on her throat and one more over her collarbone. The way they were lined, they looked as if something with 5 fingers of fire had struck her, but something massive. It was hard to tell if she was looking the girls over or not due to the lack of whites in her eyes, but she was obviously looking in their direction, as her head was turned their way. One of the girls, Jay, seemed to get very uncomfortable when she noticed Cora looking their way. She nervously looked down, letting her hair mask most of her pierced face, and was silent. Cora narrowed her eyes, overlooked her brother Cain, then took her sketchbook up the stairs and to a room, headphones still in and blasting. No else one really seemed to mind Cora except her brother Cain, who watched her with slight sadness in his eyes. But he then turned to the visitors once again, perking up and clapping his hands together, "I just love it when I hear stories like this!" Eventually, the phone ended up with Justin, who didn't say much, but nodded his head in approval. He then got up from his seat to personally return the phone to Skylar, and looked at Katalina admiringly, "Great work, Norm probably thinks of you as a saint for giving him peace." And with that, he returned to his seat, but leaned forward with his hands on his knees as to stay in the conversation everyone was having. He was seated a bit further back from the rest, making it hard to hear everything when people talked at the same time. His eyes seemed to linger on Katalina for a moment longer than the rest.

MJ noticed Katalina relaxing, and smiled, happy that she was getting along with her kids, as well. Cameron saw his sister getting more attention and ran over to Katalina, making grabby hands, "My turn!" He begged greedily. Bridgette stuck her tongue out at her brother, "Mine!" She clung to Katalina.

Katalina had saw Cora looking their way from the corner of her eye but really didn't pay no attention to it. “Heh, I guess we kind of helped each other in a way,” she shrugged, glancing down she saw the little boy reaching up for her, “I honestly don't see why I am so fascinating to you guys,” she shook her head, lifting the boy up and setting him next to his sister. She didn't seem to bothered by them but whenever they tried to remove the brace completely, she would just buckle it back. It was amusing to watch them figure out how to undo the buckles and snaps.

“Kind of? I think that right there is an understatement. Norm was eight years old, never had anyone on his back, knew nothing except pulling a carriage and keeping his head so tucked in that it was actually choking him. Let's not forget all the health problems he had when you got him.” She shook her head, “I'm pretty sure Norm isn't the only horse you've turned around. You've turned quite a few horses around.” She chuckled at Katalina, “I think you're just a kid magnet or they just really like the sound of the buckles. More an likely a kid magnet though, Astrid seems to enjoy following you around as well” she stifled a yawn.

“Looks like it's time for your nap,” she smirked, “Haha, very funny. And you aren't at least bit tired?” Katalina shook her head, “No? I'm up late every night, why would today be any different aside from dealing with you and Vodka's antics.” Skyler frowned, “I can't help it I only see shades of blue, Norm could of stopped walking if he wanted too. Hey and leave Vodka alone, she can't help it, that she found that rock very terrifying, it was going to eat her!” she chuckled. “Yeah a rock we passed like ten times and even got off to let her smell it. She wasn't too terrified if she was just standing there trying to eat the moss off of it and the grass around it” Kat shook her head.

Some of the staff members left up the stairs to random rooms to sleep, saying goodnight and that it was good to meet them prior to their departure. Jen was busy doing dishes, Cain and Bones offering a hand. MJ announced that it was time to go to bed and Cameron and Bridgette protested, but she and Adrian scooped them all up, “Say goodnight to your new friend,” MJ cooed, and the two said goodnight to Kat. Adrian chuckled and they brought them up the stairs to their room. Jay offered a smile to the girls, “I think its time we rest, we all have a lot to do tomorrow. Do you need help finding your way to the guest cabins?

Katalina nodded in agreement, tomorrow was definitely going to be interesting, as well as busy. “Nah, I know my way back, thanks though.” she smiled. After that, she said goodnight to Jay then to the others as well. Her and Skylar had left after that, going to the stables to check on their horses then going to the guest cabin and going to bed. Katalina stayed up for some but then fell asleep reading her book and Skylar had fallen asleep as soon as they had gotten back to the cabin.
