"[color=#2ecc40]Coop and I are able to take care of it, we're not needing anyone just yet. I've taken over a couple things, but he takes care of a lot of the brewing and the horses and outdoors stuff. I don't think I'd be able to do all the stuff with the horses. But, you couldn't know all that, you only see what you see when you're here. So no need to be sorry, you couldn't know.[/color]" She gently put a hand to his cheek and looked up into his eyes, keeping him there with her, to let him see that she wasn't mad or upset or anything by his line of inquiry. Her and Coop, they did the best they could by one another, and he was still the closest thing she had to any sort of family, but she was opening up that invitation now to Colt too -- the both of them might really take to one another, with these dates, which meant letting him see stuff that not everyone always saw. "[color=#2ecc40]You were talking from the heart, with concern for the both of us, that ain't nothing to be sorry about, Colt, if anything it makes me appreciate you even more that you'd take time to worry about the two of us. Well, me mainly, because I am the more important here.[/color]" She teased then, grinning to take a bit of the edge of seriousness away.
"[color=#2ecc40]Good, I'm glad you're ready, even if it involved a couple favors, anything I can help you in paying back in the future?[/color]" Because when you lived hand to mouth, like the both of them did, favors often times could be more than just a favor, it could mean a meal, or a nights sleep, or even a few days of covering for someone. And she wasn't about to have him owing too many people on her behalf, not when she could help pay it back with him, so they could have this time together like this.
And then he was lifting her, and setting her up on the horse, her hands seeking out the pommel and reins then, even as the horse sat patiently under her, even with all her telegraphed nerves atop the beast that made about 8 of her. But she liked that it put her up to where his mouth was level with her -- and she pushed that thought from her brain immediately, taking a deep breath and trying to stop herself from thinking too much about how badly she wanted him in less than pure ways. "[color=#2ecc40]Aww, Bessie? And she's as sweet too, and a good thing, I get kind of nervous around the horses, on account of them being so much bigger than me, and well, one kick and little ol' Mina goes flying to the ground. And the ground hurts.[/color]" She grinned as she leaned down and placed a kiss on his head. "[color=#2ecc40]I think I could get used to the view though, having you down there.[/color]" She was quickly clearing her throat then and closing her eyes. "[color=#2ecc40]I promise, that I will behave, I am trying my best. I want things to go well for us, and I'm going to try my hardest to not make it weird.[/color]"
