Just as King James discovered that his daughter was missing, Florence and the Tubridy's arrived in the beautiful Roseberry Cottage named after Tommy's grandmother Rose Halberry. Tommy immediately took charge, "Right then John, you get the rest of the family out of the farm before the King sends his people there, Joseph you go with him and try to get as much of our posessions as possible. Leave at the first sign of trouble. Florence and I will get this cottage as warm and welcoming as we can. Oh and get the Vicar and a Doctor here immediately".
"Why do we need a Vicar and a Doctor bro?" John asked puzzled.
"Well Florence and I do need to be married before our baby arrives" Tommy stated with pride.
Florence immediately put a downer on Tommy's plans, "Tommy love, how can we marry knowing who I am? Not only that but if we tell a Doctor about a baby born out of wedlock they'll try to kill it!"

Rylan nodded, an amused smile on his lips as he reached out and swept a arm under Amelia's legs, picking her up as he had originally planned. Trying not to jostle her to much, he made his way to the door. Thankfully, she wasn't to heavy, so it was just like carrying a few sacks of potatoes to town.

Amelia gaped at Rylan's actions, but stayed quiet as her face turned tomato red. She hadn't been carried like this since she was- well- ever. No boy beside her brothers had ever held her this close, and it was humiliating. As the two strutted out to the door, neither noticed the thoughtful look on Vicky's face as she moved to wipe the water. Neither did they notice her smirk.
"Thank you," said Amelia quietly, as the two got out the door, "Er- I can- I mean- I'll walk!"

Rylan merely rolled his eyes, "Nonsense, You should not walk until you have seen the doctor. Do not worry, I am sure it is not far." He continued on his way, careful not to look down at Amelia.

Amelia nodded, her blush not fading as they moved. She tried to will herself to be light as air, embarrassed beyond belief. Her toes still hurt, and the warm water had scalded her torso. The wet clothing clung to her, and she stared at her skirt as she moved her hand to hold Rylan's shirt slightly so that she didn't jostle as much. She didn't know what to say as they moved- and scrambled for something to say.
"Fine weather, hmm?" she said weakly, mentally cursing herself for such a poor subject to bring up.

Henry had invited Annalise to accompany him to Turbridy manor tonight. He was making his way over to ask them for a political alliance. Since the heir of Turbridy was marrying the eldest Princess, he was hoping that the alliance with the Turbridy's would give them some insight into the castle's politics, and hopefully sway the tides. He glanced at their manor, and couldn't help but be impressed. It was no wonder the Turbridy's had the political influence in court. Their home was beautiful. He approached the door, and knocked. Meanwhile, he felt glad that he was dressed in his fine robes. They were bright blue with a navy undershirt. His violin was in his hand, and his hair was messy, but other than that, he was presentable. Oh, and he had some chicken feathers on his robes, from helping in the farm nearby, but other than- presentable. ((ARA- SWITCH TO COUNTIES THREAD!)) |

As Robby had stated, the walk to Rylan's house was fairly short. His farm wasn't situated as close to the lake as Robby's home, but they had a larger field space. Another reason why Rylan was continuously worried about leaving his father here by himself. Not that Rylan could blame him as they walked in. He glanced back at the crowd, wondering what an odd group they made. Robby just shook his head, and wave d to some of Rylan's nieces and nephews, thinking of the twins. They'd have loved to come play. Next time he'd bring them.
"Grab the horses than?" asked Robby to Rylan, pointing to the barn.

"Certainly," Rylan replied, heading to open the barn door. However, instead of there being the normal five horses, there were only two. Confused, he quickly went to the house and opened the door, calling in, "Where are the three other horses?"
"Victoria and Kaitlin took Heather to teach her too ride." Replied Felicia. Ryland sighed and replied, "Alright then... Mum, I'm going to be gone for the evening, alright?"
"Alright, just make sure you come back in one piece. Make sure whatever crazy idea Robert had pulled you into this time doesn't get either of you killed." Rylan laughed and assured her he would before he returned to the others.
"Er... We only have two horses at the moment." Quickly he tried to figure out how they could manage. Obviously it would be two people to a horse, however Rylan knew better then to try and make Robby share a horse with Joshua, and frankly he didn't think Robby would like the idea of Joshua riding with any girl right now.
"How about Aura and Robby take Petunia? Joshua and I can ride Delilah."

Joshua tried not to show his relief at not being paired with Robby.
"I guess that works for me."

(I'm back. I tried to do work, but was way too distracted.)
Aura blushed at the realization, but noded as it was the fastest way to check on her home. She turns to Robert to see what he will do with this. She imagines that Amelia would not be pleased with this situation.

((Nice to see you back teehee!))
Robby shrugged, glancing at Aura from the corner of his eye. He had a feeling he hadn't given the best first impression. His mind was elsewhere at the moment, and he moved to grab the tack and saddle from inside. Acting nonchalant, he replied teasingly, "Should I saddle them both up while you blend in with the barn, Rylan?"

(I'm glad to be back. Do you want to use my above descrip. Of the manor?)
Aura starts to giggle which turns into full blown laughter. She wipes her eyes and says "sorry, but I really needed a good laugh. Thank you Robert. Or actually What should I be calling your?"

(Welcome back!)
Glad that Robby seemed to be melting now and wasn't as upset as he had been, Rylan made a show of leaning onto the barn wall and closing his eyes. "Sure, I'll just take a nap while you get 'em ready. Careful though, Delilah still hasn't forgotten that one time...." He trailed off, grinning. He knew Robby had made him swear never to tell anyone about that time Robby had ridden Delilah and decided it would be absolutely hilarious to see if he could ride her while she swam in the lake.
Needless to say, he ended up quite drenched that day.

Robby stared at her in shock, a bit surprised at her sudden burst of laughter, and he went slightly red in the face. He awkwardly began setting the tack up on Petunia, the brown mare glancing at Robby with little interest. He threw Rylan a dirty look at the mention of the ride in the lake.
"Course she wouldn't, I had a genius idea! Delilah here just doesn't like anything exciting," he said, patting the horse on the rump before the horse huffed at him.
"Why Wyatt?" asked Robby curiously, before frowning at the Robert, "And call me Robby, it's what everyone calls me. Robert's stuffy."

(oops sorry about the typo. I think I fixed it.)
"sure then, Robby. I'm not sure why I said Wyatt. I think it might be because of the concussion." aura tells him with a laugh.

"No, Delilah just isn't daft..." He glance toward Aura and stage whispered conspiratorially. "Unlike someone we know..."
As he spoke, Rylan also began to assist in tacking up the horses, going toward Delilah, who was eying Robby suspiciously.
Rylan called over his shoulder and teased in a coo, "I think Robert's cute."

Aura giggles again, but tries her best to keep a straight face. She smiles at the brown mare. "she is beautiful. It has been a while since I have ridden. I hope that is alright with you."

"Of course, Petunia is a good horse, she can take almost anything." Rylan replied reassuringly as he secured Delilah's saddle. The rowan mare was still watching Robby. When Robby put the saddle on Petunia, Delilah neighed loudly.
"Don't worry girl, I won't let Robert do anything daft this time around." She replied with a disbelieving sniff.

Aura smiles at the pair. "who should get on first?" she asks Robby. Unsure if she should go first or not. She then wonders softly to herself "I wonder if there's anything left?"

Robby glanced at Aura as he finished settling the saddle. She claimed to have riding experience, but she was still disoriented, so he decided he'd take the reins from behind her. It would be easier to catch her if she fell that way.
"Get on up," said Robby, offering Aura his hand as he gestured to the horse, "I'll get on behind you, if that's alright. And ignore Rylan, call be Robby or Robert or whatever." He threw Rylan a warning glare, his red ears the only sign of his embarrassment now.

Aura nods and gets her self settled onto the saddle. She is slightly unsteady, but she makes it up without any problems. She then looks expectantly at Robby. "you coming?" she asks with a smile.

Rylan returned Robby's glare with a smirk, noting to call him Robert as often as possible, at least in Aura's presence. As the two of them got settled, Rylan swung one leg over and got himself balanced on Delilah, scooting forward to make room for Joshua. He turned to glance at Joshua and absent mindedly offered his hand to hoist Joshua up.

Aura tries to do the same with Robby, but ends up almost falling off the horse. She smiles sheepishly at Robby and says "my apologies. I guess I am more u steady than I thought I was."

"Thank you." Joshua grinned, taking the offered hand.
"This is a lovely horse." he said once he was settled, glancing at the horse who seemed to have a real problem with Amelia's brother.

Robby laughed a bit, before sliding up the horse himself. His arms came around the petite girl's waist, grabbing the reins as he settled behind her. Thankfully, he wasn't at a disadvantage this time, having taken many girls on a ride with horses. He turned to the other two, and said, "Shall we head out? Is this alright, Miss Beckwin?"

Post by Nahara46 on Mar 31, 2013 20:11:26 GMT -5
"Yes, she is quite nice. Though she isn't nearly as adaptable as Petunia is, so we have to keep her away from the younger children." Rylan replied in a friendly tone to Joshua as he settled. He took up the reins and nodded toward the other two.
"Not sure, care to point us in the right direction, Miss?"

Aura thinks about it for a few moments. After taking a look about she spies smoke rising above the trees near by. "Do you see the smoke over there? If you can head in that direction." she tells them,

After a moment of orientating himself, he nodded and said offhandedly to warn Joshua, "Hold on!" just as he urged Delilah forward, and she immediately trotted forward, waiting for his signal to speed up. He glanced at the others, making sure they were keeping up and that Joshua has a grip before going faster.
