John had been standing with Old Boy for a good ten minutes trying to tighten the front cinch of the saddle around the horse’s belly. Usually it wasn’t much of a problem, but now Old Boy had decided to suck in air and blowing himself up to make it difficult to secure the saddle.
“What?” he glanced over his shoulder when Arthur came over. The big, old house at Shady Bell comfortably quiet in the night behind them, “I dunno,” he shrugged and turned back to Old Boy. “Stop sucking in air,” he scolded the cheeky creature. Giving up for now to rest his arm acoss the animal’s back to look at Arthur again, “Why you ask?”

It amused him to see the antics of the horse. It was pretty damn annoying when it happened to him, but to see John struggle a bit made him feel kind҉a go̧oḑ. The thought was odd as alwats and he pushed into the back of his mind, turning his attention to the animal. He pet the beautiful creature on the forehead and admired it. Good boy.. he mentally mused wanting to say it loud but it was embarrassing enough to carry conversations with his own horse all the time. Couldn’t start with John’s too. Atleast not when he was right there.Â
“Ehhhh..” He shrugged. “Ya just look kinda shit s’ all. Anyways..If ya ride out without sleepin’ you’re gonna be sloppy. There’s some well armed strangers holding up real close you know. In that ol church..”
