Holden got up and walked to the doorway. "Go, Alicia can help me while your gone." He said as he walked to Solomon. "I will be fine." He said as he kissed Solomon on the cheek. "Oh and when you get back you need to feed." Holden said with a smile as he walked back to the study.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon shrugged, "What? Ah, right..I'll go soon..I just..need to think for the moment." He teleported to the pasture, whistling loudly for Zera. She came trotting over bobbing her head. Solomon reached out and gently pet her neck, "I'm sorry Zeze.." The horse sighed, resting her head on his shoulder.

[Bovice]

Holden smiled as Solomon disappeared.
"We need to work on your teleportation." Alicia said when she saw Holden enter the study.
"I know." He said looking down.
"Its ok, we just need to work on your landing." She said with a smile. "When your teleporting think about landing on you feet." Alicia said crouching down.
Holden nodded.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon stepped away from Zera and disappeared, reappearing next to Rita's truck. He made his way back to the barn to meet with her.

"Finally you got it." Alicia said as she saw Holden land on his feet.
"Ya... But you didn't have to work me this hard." Holden said in between deep breaths.
"If I didn't you wouldn't of 'mastered' teleportation in forty five minutes." The said with air quotes.
"What do you mean by that?" He said doing air quotes.
"Well you have basic teleportation down, next is teleportation to a place you have never been, and finally there is teleporting something or someone else." Alicia said as she put her hands on her hips.

"Damn, um can we save those for later?" Holden asked as he stood up straight.
"Ha the last one Solomon hasn't even mastered. My dad is one of the few who did master it." She said slightly annoyed that she brought up her dad.
"I see, so what's next?" Holden asked ready for anything.
"Well let's do telepathy, you know the basics but we need to work on you creating the link." Alicia said as she pulled out her link from Holden.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon sighed as Rita escorted him from the room, "If the one is repaired, then the other should recover as well, correct? All his left one really needs is 'resurfacing' and I can manage that at home. Even after the surgery, I can speed up his recovery so he doesn't get lame. I know I could never race him, like I want to, but he could at least walk, correct?"

The brunette nodded, handing him the clipboard to sign, "Correct. If we were to have done both knees, as originally planned things could've gotten really bad, really fast. Besides, if you can haul him to the trailer and to his stall he should be fine. We can start as soon as the operation room is set. This could be revolutionary if he survives. I mean, granted, he'll have your aid, but still, if his knee stays in place afterwards, things could be well for him. You can never ride him, as his hoof might still be a bit twisted, but he should be able to walk trails with you and Zeze."

Solomon quickly scribbled his signature on the paper, "I figured as much, but if it helps him, I would be happy to do it. I'm sure Zeze would enjoy a trail with him. Oh! I don't know if you saw earlier, but I recently acquired two more horses. Perhaps when you drop Rilov off you could give them a once over, just to be sure they're healthy?"

Rita nodded, taking the clipboard back, "Of course Solomon, anything for you." She gave him a quick hug then went on her way as he disappeared. Things were much more reasonable and convenient knowing Solomon was a vampire. Granted, it's not like she couldn't sense it anyway.

"Ow! Damn it Holden!" Alicia yelled grabbing her head. "You need to stop creating the link so hard in my head." She said still holding her head.
"I'm sorry but its not helping that you are yelling at me." Holden said yelling back.
"Well stop hurting me and I will." She said in a huff.
Grr, you so annoy me sometimes. I'm gonna go and feed." Holden said as he disappeared.
Damn it!" Alicia said as she plopped down on the couch.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon appeared sitting next to Alicia, a sly look on his face, "This is why the basics are left to you, my dear. You have a way with the fledglings. So, how's he doing?" He leaned back, crossing one leg over the other and crossing his arms over his chest, "I think we came to a solution for Rilov."

[Bovice]

"Well he has basic teleportation down. Creating a damn link is not good at all." She said sighing deeply. "That's good Solomon." She sighed. "I hope he doesn't do anything stupid." Alicia said as she leaned back on the couch.

[Evil Tink]

"Holden knows better, he'll be fine. Here, I'll give you a break from him and I'll work with him for a few hours. Okay?" He smiled a b it, nodding to the door, "Go. I'll deal with him."

[Bovice]

Alicia sighed, Good luck." She said as she disappeared.
Holden appeared, "Why must I always run?" He asked himself as he looked for a human to feed from. He spotted a human and bewitched them to come over by him. Holden knocked out the human and bit into his neck, he didn't drain the man of all of his blood. He put the man down on the ground, he healed the holes and teleported back to Solomon's study.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon smiled at Holden reappeared, "Well good afternoon." He stood up giving Holden a hug, "How's the training going?"

[Bovice]

"Hello." Holden said with a frown. "Alicia is a slave driver." He said hugging Solomon back. "I can't seem to establish a link without hurting her." He said with a sigh. "Speaking of Alicia where is she?' Holden asked looking up at Solomon.

[Evil Tink]

"She's..I don't know actually." He smiled keeping his arm around Holden, "You're just thinking to hard. Just relax. Now, try to establish a link with me. I want to see what you're doing."

[Bovice]

Holden sighed, he closed his eyes and concentrated. He established a link with Solomon. "Sorry if that hurt." He said not opening his eyes.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon didn't flinch, but he certainly felt something uncomfortable. He was silent for a moment, then severed the link between them. "You force yourself in too quickly. Wait for a response from the other. Just..touch their mind and wait for the other to allow you in, then complete the link. It should be more comfortable for both parties. Try it with Alicia once, it'll work better without her knowing you're going to contact her."
