catnik 2:12pm
Dagmar is late.
catnik 2:13pm
Not that she is precisely scheduled for tending to Star and Stormwake, but she's been like clockwork.
earldebuke 2:13pm
Stormwake snorts
catnik 2:13pm
Today, however, she is late.
earldebuke 2:17pm
offended stallion
earldebuke 2:57pm
And sometime later, a worried Stallion
earldebuke 2:57pm
Stormwake paces.
earldebuke 2:57pm
Star fusses.
earldebuke 3:00pm
Equine anxiety is a thing!
catnik 3:14pm
Poor things.
earldebuke 3:27pm
Oak comes on standard dog patrol pattern number 12
earldebuke 3:27pm
Then looks at the horses
earldebuke 3:27pm
Stormwake stamps. Has the lesser four legger seen the nice girl or the rider?
earldebuke 3:28pm
Oak scratches behind his ear. This guardian four legger has not. Perhaps the oversized herbavore should be nicer when asking?
earldebuke 3:29pm
Equine snort.
earldebuke 3:38pm
Oak sighs. And...begins to give a bark. Not the 'stranger' bark... not the 'alarm danger' bark... but the annoying repetitive 'TWO LEGGER REQUIRED' Bark.
earldebuke 3:38pm
Over.
earldebuke 3:38pm
and over.
earldebuke 3:38pm
and over.
earldebuke 3:38pm
and over.
earldebuke 3:41pm
and over.
earldebuke 3:50pm
"WHAT?" Siv comes out, "what in Neptune's name is wrong?"
earldebuke 3:51pm
Oak stares at the horses and barks
earldebuke 3:52pm
"What did the horses do? they're just horses, Oak. It's not like they're ships and need..." Siv looks over the horses, then blinks "Wait, where's Dagmar?"
earldebuke 3:55pm
Siv gets worried, "Okay. Now I'm worried, but first we tend to you both. " She says to Star and Stormwake
earldebuke 3:59pm
And so she tends to the horses. Mind you, ,she's doing it 'wrong'. She hasn't earned Stormwake's respect or Star's trust... so there are challenges.
earldebuke 3:59pm
"Oh for the love of.. I am trying to brush you, stop being pissy about it"
earldebuke 3:59pm
"It's feed, it's not coming in party flavors"
earldebuke 4:03pm
"DOn't Nip at me"
earldebuke 4:03pm
Okay, so it takes Siv at least twice as long to tend to and feed the horses than it would her mom or Dagmar but it gets done.
earldebuke 4:03pm
And then, Siv texts Dagmar
earldebuke 4:03pm
TXT: Sam? Where are you?
catnik 4:05pm
txt Out
earldebuke 4:05pm
TXT: You okay?
catnik 4:05pm
txt yeah
earldebuke 4:06pm
TXT: I fed and brushed the horses
catnik 4:07pm
a long pause
catnik 4:07pm
txt k.
earldebuke 4:07pm
TXT: They do not like me
catnik 4:10pm
txt guess not
earldebuke 4:11pm
TXT: _What's going on? _
catnik 4:12pm
txt Busy
earldebuke 4:12pm
TXT: Hey, it's me? We're cousins
catnik 4:13pm
txt whatever
earldebuke 4:13pm
TXT: _OOOOKay. _
earldebuke 4:14pm
Siv frowns "Well, time to find out where she is." And sees if the tracking option is on for Dagmar. Maybe she'll luck out?
catnik 4:15pm
It is not.
catnik 4:15pm
After all, Dagmar is reliable, and mostly a homebody. Lodge, Barn, School.
earldebuke 4:16pm
Siv winces. yes, yes. Dagmar is more reliable than she is.
