Always changing (open!)

[Jenren]

Sitting down by the river bed, Tess threw a flat, silver stone across the brown water. It skipped 3 times before sinking down to the bottom of the river, never to be seen again.

That was a mirror to Tess's life, a metaphor. If you call it. Tess was always here, than gone, here than gone. She has come back to town. But will she stay?

With frustration of her injured arm, Tess sighed. She can't get anywhere quick with that! Let alone, ride. How can Tess survive 7 weeks without riding?

She gazed at the chocolately brown water, it was quite pretty. Tess loved the river, it was a nice place to hang out. It was low tide, so there were no concerns. The mangroves were reaching for the sky, proudly and the birds fluttered around cheerfully. Just like every day by the river, it was always the same. But Tess wasn't always the same, she changed - alot. Too much for some people. Namely, her boyfriend.

Tess glanced around to see the picnic table. It was decorated with a white cloth, some juice and some snacks. Tess had set it up for her him, but she knew he wasn't coming. He hasn't talked to her in months. She thought he would come, but obviously expectations are a bad thing.

Lily walked along the riverside, shoes in hand as her bare feet left imprints in the wet sand. She was walking by the side of the river, enjoying the last few warm days they would have for a while. With autumn here, the temperatures would begin to drop steadily, and then winter would come, freezing the outside world. As she continued on, she noticed a girl just up ahead and set a course toward her. "Nice toss. I can't get it to go that far. I'm Lily. Mind if I join you?"

[Jenren]

"Yea sure!" replied Tess suddenly enthused "would you like to join in on a picnic." Tess scrambled to her feet and jogged to the table.
"I don't normally set up for no one," she added. "But this person didn't turn up. So you should join me!"
Tess grabbed a carrot stick and munched on it for some time before looking up at Lily. "- you can eat something you know!" Tess smilled.
The river suddenly reflected the suns rays, and the green grass seemed to grow an inch bigger. Today was going to be a good day.

ooc - bad post. xD

Wow, this girl was pretty enthusiastic, even with her arm in a sling. Lily wondered what had happened and if it was painful, but she kept it to herself. Sitting down, she grabbed an apple and took a big, juicy bite out of it. "Mmm, this is a good apple." She watched the water flow by as the birds flitted about. It was a nice autumn day, and she was really enjoying herself.

Tess noticed Lily was looking at her arm,
"- It was a horse riding accident. With Teds my warmblood. Stumbled on a pot hole and I fell. I had a good friend help me though,"
Tess grabbed another carrot stick. "I like these," she smiled. It was almost as if she was trying to change the conversation.

"Ya, the food's pretty good. I hadn't expected to see anyone out here, though. It was a pleasant surprise when I saw you. And you can skip a rock pretty well." She took another bite out of her apple and munched on it. It was just a little bit tart, which is how she liked her apples. Lily remembered she'd have to go grocery shopping soon. She was almost out of food, and needed to get some carrots and apples for Deductive.

[Jenren]

Thinking for a while... Tess turned to Lily.
"Ohh.. you're the one who bought that horse from the sale? Deductive? Nice horse that. How are you going with her or him?"
She turned back to the river.
"You know.. " Tess said.. so quiet she was almost whispering. "That looks good enough for a swim!"

[Mustang]

"Ya, I bought Deductive. He's pretty smart, and he enjoys learning once he knows what you want him to do. He picks up on things pretty quickly, but he has his goofy moments, too. I really like him." She thought about his training and where she would go with it next. Following Tess's gaze, she agreed. The water did look pretty refreshing, but she wasn't all that interested in getting wet at the moment. Deductive did that to her enough.

[Jenren]

Tess laughed to herself. "I wonder when the next show is going to on?". Although she couldn't ride with a broken collarbone, Tess could easily enter Tedz in a led event.
She smiled once more and began to pack up the picnic, "Well.. I have to go. Very nice meeting you!"

ooc - Sorry about being boring xD

[Mustang]

ooc: it's k


"Nice meeting you. And thanks for lunch. It was good." Lily stood and helped pack everything up. Then she took her apple and walked downstream, turning to wave goodbye as she went on her way. What a strange day it had been. Oh well, at least she'd met someone new.
