OOM & EP | Kate Barlow | Main Bar

[ikissdhimbck]

[OOM:

This is not a game
It would be a crying shame
Honestly, what's in a name?
Tell me, what's in a name?

Handwavily set some time in the past few months. Kate makes a new friend, and gets a well-deserved tongue lashing. Warnings for brief coarse language.]

Kate's sitting at the Bar tonight, reading The Galveston News and sipping slowly at a bourbon. She should be heading out for her nightly chores in the stables soon, but first she's going to finish her paper and enjoy to the full the last lingering days of June.

Soon it'll be The Fourth, and her thoughts will be elsewhere.

Entirely botherable.


[ooc: Feel free to catch Kate outside if you prefer, either works for me. Open until her next EP. ^__^]

"It sounds nice."

[ikissdhimbck]

"It is. S'a nice reprieve."

She glances sidelong at William.

"D'you like t'go swimmin'?"

[not_his_pa]

"I do, the creek that runs through our land is good and cool."

[ikissdhimbck]

She smiles.

"Then if y'ever fancy swimmin' in the Gulf, knock on my door. I'd be happy t'have you out for a holiday."

[not_his_pa]

"I'd like that and let me know if I can be of any help to you out there."

[ikissdhimbck]

"I will. Right now I'm jus' seein' a few things back t'their rightful owners, nothin' too taxin'."

A few things, like a certain stolen velocipede.

"Would y'fancy a race around the lake?"

[not_his_pa]

"Yeah. Les and I'll show you what we can do."

[ikissdhimbck]

Her eyebrows jump up her forehead.

"Will you, now? Well, then. On your mark, get — "

She doesn't finish that, as she's already spurring Beaut forward with a 'hyah!' Now, she never offered to race him fair and square.

(But she doesn't push Beaut as hard as she otherwise could.)

[not_his_pa]

William laughs and sets off after her, Les is a solid and fast horse.

[ooc: aww, fade on them having some fun, or keep going to find out who wins? spoiler: it will be William. ^__^]

[not_his_pa]

(OOC: This feels like a good fade spot.)

[ikissdhimbck]

[ooc: Thank you for the thread! They're so delightful.]
