Steve came to Milliways on purpose this time.

He's outside by the lake, sitting on a rock near the shore. (in the back of his mind, it may be because he has no desire to run into the vampire again.) He's working on preliminary sketches for three different drawings, and singing to himself in a passable baritone.

The first is an oceanscape--the Pacific Ocean on a fine day, the waves rolling to a nearly empty beach. Only one dark-haired figure is one the shore.

The second is a play on one of the Captain America trading cards, with YOU CAN DO IT written at the top in large, friendly letters.

The third, his current project, is of a young man playing guitar. It's the most intense of them all, with dark lines and negative space. The musician's expression is as focused as Steve's.

As he draws, Steve sings under his breath, "'Night and day, you are the one, only you beneath the moon and under the sun...in the roaring traffic's boom or the silence of my lonely room, I think of you...night and day...'"

[ooc: Open all day, though I will be in and out periodically.]

"Ain't a thing wrong with that."

The next fifteen minutes or so is quiet, since sometimes the best thing about a ride is that quiet -- but Sallie pulls off the outline of the trail for a minute to brush right up to the shore of the lake and dismounts.

"I wanted to stop here to show you all the divergent trails," she explains, pointing to the path towards the mountains, several less-used trails towards the deeper, darker areas of the forest.

Sallie shrugs meaningfully.

"You can find out if you'd like.

"Not on my son's horse, though."

"Hunh. The kids in ours are Han Zu and Greta. Five hundred some years and they're still recognizable."

"They cook him before he cooks them. 'S a popular tale to tell the kids who like to wander off and talk to the sailors in the shipyards."

"Dragon for ours." Sallie just shrugs. "There's always a dragon or a panda in there somewhere."

"Ain't seen one ever my own self; they're mostly in zoos and such in the Core."

The Core is where the cool stuff happens, Steve.

"Want to keep headin' on?"

The trail, at the pace they're setting, runs them about another half an hour, and Sallie's pony is starting to complain more than she feels like putting up with.

"When we get back around to the paddock I'm goin' to head in. If you want to keep goin' on you can?"
