*Scarlett stood just outside of the pasture, leaning over the fence to give Aithne a sugar cube. The beautiful filly lipped it up happily, standing still to allow Scarlett to gently stroke her face.*

*Michael spotted her after he had finished his morning chores, and went over to casually lean on the fence.*
"She's taken a shine to you, k'know." *He said.*

*Scarlett looked up quickly, startled, but smiled brightly at him.* She's wonderful.

"Well, it's the closest anyone besides myself has ever gotten to her--I can't say anyone else I know thinks so, save maybe your godmother."

Well...She's just a bit spunky. But I don't see why anyone wouldn't want to try to work with her. *Scarlett patted Aithne gently on the neck, then turned back to Michael as the filly galloped away. She gave him a smile to die for, brushing her long curls out of her face.* And how are you this morning?

**IRISH BOY**
"Just grand, Scarlett Booth, and yourself?" *He said. Today actually had been a very good day so far.*

I'm doing great, thanks. *Her smile widened prettily.* So, what are you up to today?

**BOY**
*He shrugged.*
"Not much, so far. Finished the morning chores; was going to see if anyone needed exercise."

Ohhh, I see. *She smiled at him innocently, but brightly, and prettily, and cutely. Yes ma'am.* So who are you going to ride?

"You."
"No idea. Not that one, that's for sure." *He said, gesturing to Aithne.*

Alright then, let's saddle up cowboy and see what you've got! ;D
*She looked over at the filly, not noticing that she accidently hit him in the face with her long, silky curls.* Have you tried her before?

*He snorted as her hair got in his face.*
"No--I don't think any horse should just be jumped on, just like that. She gets nervous when we even come near her with a saddle. If I were even going to attempt that, I would have to devote a whole week to getting it started."

I see. *She studied the filly for a minute, then glanced over her shoulder at him. Without another word, she climbed over the fence and quietly approached Aithne, who looked up with interest and walked over to Scarlett.*

((I'm so excited that I get to use her SuePowers ;D ))
*Scarlett stood with the filly, gently massaging her face and talking quietly to her. After a few minutes, she moved around to Aithne's side and ran her hands over the filly's back, watching her carefully and talking to her all the while. Very gently and slowly, she leaned her weight across Aithne's back. When she didn't react, Scarlett walked with her over to the fence, climbed up slowly, and verrry carefully and Suerifically slipped onto her back. Aithne tossed her head, slightly surprised, but other than that stood quietly. Scarlett patted her neck, still murmuring to her soothingly. After a few moments, she slipped off, planting a kiss on the filly's velvety nose.* Such a good girl, yes you are!
