Description

Azzie, sweet, visiting Azzie. She was supposed to be on vacation. "No horses, doctors orders." What a stupid order that was. How could she have nothing to do with horses? They were her life. Everything about her depended on them. She leaned back in the pillows of her bed and stared out the enormous floor-to-ceiling window and artful balcony beside her to the barns below. One of the horses in training with Catherine was out in the pasture, refusing to be caught by the pale woman that was a sometimes employee of OG, Ghost. Azzie sat up, watching the bright flash of blond hair swirl as the girl darted at the passing stallion- and then she was on his bare back. Sitting through two powerful bucks the girl got the stallion under control and started working him through his paces. Azzie watched, both mesmerized and jealous. She should be the one down there, working with the horses. That was what she did best.

A soft knock on the door disturbed her brooding. "Azzie, I have your medicine." Catherine called through the door. The red haired woman snorted. "Alu said you needed to take it-"

"Every four hours, yes I know. Dammit this isn't fair." Azzie sighed, flopping back on the bed as her cousin walked in. "Why did I have to be the one to get sick?"

Catherine quietly set the tray down and sorted it, handing the medications to her cousin without a word. When Azzie thought she'd leave without speaking Catherine finally answered her. "Because you're the dumbass that ran half naked into a blizzard." The brown haired woman stormed out of the room, slamming the door shut. She wasn't very nurturing on her best days and she really didn't want to take care of Azzie- partly because Azzie had gotten sick at OG. Azzie grumbled, downed her medicines like a good girl and stared out the window. What kind of things could that horse learn?

She slipped to the door to her balcony, hopping into her boots and stepped outside into the spring air to watch as Ghost dropped from the horses back to leave him alone. No doubt he'd be left unattended until lunch time when he'd get another thirty minute workout. Azzie watched until she was sure no one was looking then hooked her legs over the balcony and let herself drop to the bushes below. Her red hair tangled in the prickly leaves and she wrestled herself free. The stallion watched her, startled by the sudden movement and noise she produced. She swore colorfully and dissentangled herself, finally, to approach him. Braiding her hair she smiled at the fence.

"Well hello pretty boy." she reached towards him. "It's a pleasure to meet you." He snorted at her. "Would you like to learn a fun new trick?" she took shallow breaths, trying not to get wracked by violent coughs. She lost. He snorted and backed away from her as she clutched the fence hacking up a lung. "I apologize, I'm not at my best." She smiled at him and he whickered.

"come on pretty boy. Lets go learn a trick."
