Holden nodded, he slowed down contacting Alicia. "Alicia?" He asked as he entered her mind.
Alicia felt a 'knock' at her brain. She let in Holden. "Well that wasn't painful this time. Good job." She said with a smile
"I did it." Holden said as he opened his eyes. "Thank you Alicia." He said with a smile.

Solomon smiled, kissing Holden on the lips, "See? Not so hard. Just practice it at random intervals between the two of us. You'll get so used to it, it'll automatically become one simple step for you and you'll just be able to enter without waiting." He gave Holden another hug, "Have you discovered any unique powers yet?"

[Bovice]

Holden kissed Solomon back. "I think its just because you are a great teacher." He said with a smile. He hugged Solomon back, "Other than hearing animals, I haven't found any yet." Holden said with a slight frown.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon nodded, "Well hopefully they don't show at the wrong times. Well, seeing as I'm feel extremely lazy today, what do you suggest we do then?"

[Bovice]

"How about we go for a walk. Its beautiful out." Holden said with a smile. "I just hope we don't get attacked by animals." He said with a low growl. "Or we could go work the horses." Holden said laying his head on Solomon's shoulder.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon beamed, "I have an even better idea! Come with me" He lifted Holden up, one hand under his knees and the other supporting his back as he ran down the stairs with his incredible speed. They came up to the barn just as Jack was bringing the horses in. He set Holden down, "Jack, have you fitted a saddle for Kali yet?"

Jack shook his head, "Not yet, but I'm sure that Zera's would fit her pretty well. They're both similar in build after all." Without a word, Jack left to go gather the tack.

"Kali has been ridding before, and broken, for the most part. She gets a little stubborn with the reins, but we should be fine for a trail, don't you think Holden?"

[Bovice]

Before Holden knew it he was in the barn. He stood there a little shocked, "Um sure, I still am amazed at how fast we can move." He said shaking his head. "That does sound fun though." Holden said with a smile.

[Evil Tink]

He took the saddle and spare reins from Jack as he came by, "Holden, can you make sure she stays still and calm?" He glanced from Kali's back to the saddle, putting the two together in his mind while he waited for Holden. If it was a bit of an odd fit, he could always give her extra padding. He could easily ride Zera bareback, with just a bit and reins; he's done it before. Holden would need a saddle though, just in case. "After the ride I'll have to measure her and get her her own saddle, as well as Damien. Although..Jack, can get you get that saddle for Rilov?"

The man nodded and hurried off.

Solomon leaned over to Holden, "I got it for him to get him used to it, but of course, never rode him. Damien as a similar structure since he's still young, but he'll bulk up soon, yes. I'll have to get him his own saddle as well. Oh! Check with Damien, see what he wants to do. Zera would even just follow alongside us, just so she wouldn't be alone. She's very well behaved."

[Bovice]

Holden nodded and looked at Kali, "We aren't going to hurt you we are just gonna go for a walk, ok?" Holden said trying to keep her calm.
"I like him, he helped Rilov. You seem nice too."
"She likes you Solomon." Holden said with a smile. "Thank you, I told you I wasn't evil. Now can you stand still while he puts the saddle on you?" Holden said as he went to check on Damien in the next stall.
"Ok."

He stopped in front of Damien. "Do you wanna come on a walk with us?" He asked.
"I don't trust you fully."
"He is nice Damien, come on a walk with us."
"Thank you Kali." Holden said with a nod.
"I will go but I don't trust you.
"Thank you Damien. He said walking over to Zera.

"How are you doing Zera?" He asked kindly.
"I miss Rilov."
"I'm sure he is fine, ok?" He asked as he pet her neck.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon entered the stall while Holden went to talk to Damien, "I don't want a horse that doesn't trust me, that's just nerve wracking." He rolled his eyes, keeping track of the conversation between Holden and the horses.

He gently placed the saddle on Kali's back, looking it over, "Holden, can you relay Kali's thoughts directly to me? It'll be easier to fit the saddle if she can tell me where it pinches." The saddle looked a little wide on the back, and that worried him. It could really press on her ribs and shift them. "Do you think that'll be okay Kal? I could put extra padding below to raise it up a bit so the pressure is distributed more."

[Bovice]

"Ya I can." Holden said as he created a link between Solomon, Kali, and himself.
"It feels weird, maybe put some padding. This is the first time someone has asked me if the saddle feels ok."
Holden smiled as he listened to Kali, "Well you have never had a vampire owner." He said.

[Evil Tink]

He nodded, "Wait here." He left, leaving the door open not really worried about her sneaking out. He came back with some various forms of padding, including a thick western blanket. He lifted the saddle, putting the blanket down first, then a riser pad, then the saddle, adjusting it. "Does that feel alright? I have a wider riser pad that we can use yet." He inspected it again, it looked better, but definitely only a temporary thing.

[Bovice]

"It does feel better."
"Just let us know if it starts to hurt, ok?" Holden asked with a smile.
"So where are we going?"
"Just for a trail ride." He said for a smile.

[Evil Tink]

He pulled the girth from his shoulder, quickly working to fasten it. He pulled the bridle off and put it over her face, pre-measuring it, "I'm sorry that it's Zera's, but it's the only one I have for now. The rest should be here tomorrow." He put it in her mouth quickly adjusting it to her face size, "Does it feel alright?"

Zera snorted, kicking the stall door a few times while she bobbed her head. "Yeah yeah, you're coming with us. Just relax."

[Bovice]

"It's ok, it feels good."
"Damien wants to come." Holden said pointing to Damien. He smiled at Zera. "Crazy horses." He thought to himself.

[Evil Tink]

"Well he better behave or he's getting swatted." He led Kali from the stall, handing the reins to Holden, "There's a block in the arena to help you up while I get Damien ready."

He grabbed some more padding and experimented with various combination to make the most comfortable for Damien. He used Holden's link with Damien to communicate with him about the matter, "I know you don't trust me, but honestly, you have no reason to worry. Alright? Just give me a chance, eh?"
