Breezy Afternoons (OPEN)

[Katrina "Black Rose" Richards]

Kat made her way to the stable house on a warm but lightly breezy Saturday afternoon. She'd dressed herself in some old, rather tattered jeans covered in rips, tears and set in stains from grass and paint and other things of that nature, and a tank top with a thin denim button up shirt tied under her chest. Her jeans were tucked into some mid-calf combat boots, her sleeves rolled up above her elbows.

She hummed Sinatra to herself as she tightened the ponytail she'd pulled her hair into and grabbed the bucket full of grooming tools by the stable house doors. She cheerily greeted her favourite horse; a chestnut rabicano Arabian she'd named Aladdin when she was young. He'd been one of her first friends, since the horses were the only living things she had access to aside from key members of staff in her first ear at the school. He'd been so scrawny back then, but spirited. Now he was big and strong and she always made time to groom him at least once a week.

Leading him outside, she tethered him for safety and happily went about finding the rubber curry brush. She sang somewhere between a normal volume and quietly to herself "Some day....when I'm awfully low...when the world is cold...I will feel a glow just thinking o~f you~"
