A Trip to the petting Zoo [Sos/Gabe]

Trinity listened to what Gabe was saying, but, rebuild Selenus? she didn't even have anything she could use, yes she could probably rebuild a body, program a new one using what she knew...but would it really be Selenus then? She honestly didn't know, if only she had some..copy of his personality, something, but she wasn't sure she had, she wasn't sure if she would be able to ever see him again before her own time came, but maybe when it did she could see him again after? She honestly didn't know what to believe at the moment.

What she Did know was that Selenus had given her a task, a task she hadn't been looking into yet, and one she was going to start looking into, First things first she would have to look for the person he had told her to look for for the information and to pick up where he left off.

as she was Thinking this Gabe had already gone and came back with the goat food and she took it and started to feed the clearly hungry little goat, the goat happily munching away on the grass "We are glad they would think of such things for the sake of the animals, it's good to know they are well taken care of" she said not noticing a little bunny scooting up behind her, it's nose wriggling at the smell of food, at least she didn't notice till the little bunny was suddenly climbing up her back and it's head poked out over her own it's nose wriggling even more "Oh hello mister bunny" she said as she reached up to pet the fuzzy little thing as she let out one of those happy little puffs from her nose.

"When it comes to things that people really want to cherish, I have an idea about how individuals would go about it. For instance, every sort of contingency plan for bad weather, the health insurance for the animals, veterinarians are more expensive than human doctors. Taking the time to think about all of these things just so it can be successful, and after all of their hard work, trusting them somewhat to be safe in the cares of people from the city like you and me. Isn't it brave for people to make petting zoo's when you think about the work that they go through just to make it?"

Gabe still smiled at Nola.

"They left the animals in good care with you being there. And in addition to that, you have so much that you haven't yet seen. You can ride a horse here too. "

Trinity gently picked the bunny off her head and held it gently, petting it and being very careful with it, but holding it to keep it from falling as it settled into her arms and snuggled in for the warmth "We are Glad that they wanted to take good care of them...It's good to know that they are looked after so well...and your right, they took a large risk...what if someone came here and was just mean to the animals? We don't think people understand that they can feel like we do..." she said as she looked at the now well settled in little bunny and she gave it a bit of feed and it happily nibbled away at it and once more she made that happy little puff from her nose as she gave a small gentle smile to the little bunny.

After a bit of just sitting there petting the little bunny she gently let it go and it wriggled about a bit and then hopped off to look for more food, or find somewhere warm to snuggle up and sleep, and she looked back at Gabe as he mentioned riding a horse, "That would be fun...but We have never been on a horse before...." she said as she stood up and looked up at Gabe that same neutral look on her face that she always had, though her eyes seemed to have a bit of a shine to them of enjoyment.

"Well, they can't necessarily communicate with each other. I mean, humans and animals, right? It could be due to the way that they think, the exact nature of humans and animals alike. It could be plenty of reasons that individuals don't necessarily connect with the inhabitants of nature for things to be so lopsided of their treatment. At the same time, we speak to them for nourishment and food. So none of these relationships are perfect as is, but human interference in cases such as the extinction of other species, carry on with the responsibility that we HAVE to do something BECAUSE of our predicament of what we are. And what we are.... is more intelligent."

Gabe trailed off as he thought of something.

"Do you think that's how demons look at us in the sense of how we look at the rest of animals? do you really think there is going to be a breakthrough of us coexisting without any sort of trouble whatsoever? I'd want that to happen, i'd want fewer things to worry about. I'd probably only agree with it if larsinny was the representative. You can only agree with it if it was someone you trusted...."


But they came here to have fun.

"Alright, time for some riding, come along now. "

Trinity Listened to Gabe, he seemed to be in a thinking mood, even now when they were around a bunch of fuzzy little animals to pet and give attention to, though he had a point about animals and people being unable to talk to each other really, though...even being here for such a limited time she could understand somewhat what the animals wanted, food and warm places to be safe, It was honestly something she figured everyone wanted at some level, even demons.

As she walked over to him and they started to head to where the horses were she replied to what he said about Demons "This is why We don't want to kill all demons, What if they are just like us...but we just don't know how to communicate?....besides...Even with just living Humans coexisting with Humans...there is trouble...there is always some sort of problem that humans bring on themselves, and by the sounds of it from what we have heard so far..perhaps Demons are not that different?" she kept her tone low so no one would overhear, as she walked with Gabe her expression the neutral one she always had on, though she was enjoying this time out honestly.

Going over to the stables, The caretaker of the horses was already there and noticed the presence of the two. "Ah, you must be the two visitors, I think we received a call yesterday to reserve a smaller track for the little one, correct?" She was referring to gabe, who had seemingly made a reservation for something, or maybe it was a request to do something specific?"

"Yes, she never rode before, but I don't want to take the experience away from her. I'd like to make it invigorating and safe at the same time, so I hoped there was something that could allow her to do so."

The caretaker chuckled as he rubbed his long and bushy beard.

"Actually we do have a pony that was born a few months ago, her name is sasha. She's really friendly and well behaved. I think the little one over here would get along well with her. "

After an acknowledging nod to the caretaker, Gabe would look back to Nola and smile.

"I asked them to see if there was a smaller horse you could ride. It would be a lot easy to handle with the basics. "

If Nola followed through the stables, she would notice a smaller pony awaiting them.

"And this...is Sasha."

Spoiler:

Walking with Gabe to the stables Trinity continued to simply look around at some of the horses that were out in the corral, and as Gabe and the man spoke to each other she just watched the horses, though as the man mentioned a little one Trinity assumed he meant her and sure enough he had been talking about her getting along with a pony, then she looked to Gabe as he explained what was going on and that he had set this all up, she let out another one of those little happy nose puffs as she nodded "Thank you..." she said in her normal monotone, and though she wasn't smiling she gave another of those little nose puffs that she only did when she was happy, and she followed the man into the stable.

As she walked with him she took a look at the other horses there, some were just resting others sleeping, most were eating and she walked past each one reading the names on the stalls, before she caught up with the man and seen the pony and he introduced the cute thing, it was small, though With Trinity being quite small herself, not to mention light, no doubt the pony would have no problem carrying her, and she looked at the pony and took a step forward, and gently petting it's muzzle "Hello Sasha...We're Trinity" she said gently to the horse, and letting out another of those happy little nose puffs that she did.

"Will she be okay carrying us?" she asked the man as she noticed the pony didn't have the gear on she had seen hanging by the other stalls, saddles and the like, and she wondered if she wasn't strong enough to wear that stuff yet? Obviously she wasn't strong or large enough to wear the full sized horse gear, maybe they had gear for a pony? With that thought she started to look around staying with the pony as she simply searched with her eyes, that same neutral look on her face as always.

"Aye, Sasha is a stubborn girl and has the spunk of the bigger horses all put together. Even if there was something she wasn't sure she was able to do, it would have stopped her from trying anyway. With that kind of attitude, I'm sure Sasha is determined to have you ride her. "

With the horse making a pleasing sound from its mouth as Trinity pet them, Gabe would smile as he started to secure the riding gear on the pony so Trinity could head upon the animal in order to ride around it. There was a bit of the open space of the owned property that they could go, so at least Trinity wouldn't feel limited when it came to actually riding the horse.

Surprisingly, the measurements matched trinity's as well as being light enough for the horses.

"Saftey first..."

As soon as Gabe finished it, he would step aside to let Trinity get on.

"By the way, I took the liberty of getting your sizes so that it could fit the shoe size without it being too big. Hold on to the reins gently, she's a feisty one and might actually run as fast as you want her to. How do I know? Well, just look at how excited the horse is, finding a rider just perfect for her. "

Trinity looked at the pony as it seemed healthy and eager to get going and then she listened to the man that owned the place and the pony, seemed she was the kind to try no matter what, and she looked back at the pony and made that happy little nose puff as she pets the little horse. It seemed to like the attention and she needed to wait for Gabe to finish securing the riding gear anyway, and as he did finish she looked to him securing the gear and she looked up as he spoke.

apparently he guessed her measurements or he measured her at some point when she wasn't looking, ether way he had them make sure they had the gear on hand for someone of her light and lithe build, and as he instructed her to hold on tight and pointed out how eager and excited the pony was she nodded a bit as she pets the little horse once more before climbing on.

She took a few attempts of course, this being her first time actually seeing a pony in real life let alone trying to ride one, but eventually she got on and very gently petted the horse as she listened to the man telling her how to set off, and so she gently bumped Sasha with her heels and the little horse started to head out at a gentle pace despite it's obvious excitement.

She rode out into the large area and as she finished clearing the place and getting used to the feeling of riding the pony she started to in crease in speed something the pony was glad to do as she rode along, it was kind of like dancing...she needed to simply match the rhythm of the horse's movements to make the ride smoother and more comfy and so she started to do that, thankfully hand eye coordination was something she was incredibly good at, it made things easier, but she was still no expert rider.

Gabe was happy, folding his arms and watching his comrade live out her little dream of riding a horse. He never really knew if it was a latent dream of hers or not, but it was at least a first in her life that he was able to give to her. He wanted Nola to experience this, he wanted Nola to experience many things before the year was up. As one of the few friends that were left, Gabe felt it was his responsibility to be some kind of role model or play the big brother role to watch over her. Even if it was all he could do at the moment, he wanted to do a good job at it.

"..........."

Nodding at the range handler, Gabe went off to get his own horse so that he could ride with Trinity. Joining her soon after, Gabe would look over his shoulder,  riding one of the older horses with a grin.

"How does it feel? Liberating right? My dad used to watch the movies of the old cowboys and Indians all the time, I think I still have those old videos on VHS. It was always quite entertaining to me, and made me wonder how it felt like to ride a horse. "

Trinity rode along at a gentle pace, Sasha quite clearly enjoying having a rider as it seemed while it was Trinity's first horse ride it was also Sasha's first time giving a ride as well and she gently pet the young horse's neck as they trotted along, gently bumping it to make her go just a tiny bit faster now that she was getting used to riding a bit.

As she rode she thought of a lot of things, enjoying the ride yes but also there was a lot on her mind lately, thankfully her siblings were able to take the majority of the mulling over it so she could enjoy herself, and honestly she was glad she was blessed with this sort of ability, it made it so much easier to do all the things she needed to do, with a happy little nose puff she then noticed Gabe ride up on his own horse and he smiled back to her and she nodded to him.

He then started talking about his own reasons for wanting to come riding and she nodded once more "It is an interesting experience, and something that oddly does feel very freeing despite the clear limitations...Thank you for bringing me here" she said looking to Gabe.

"You know, in these old movies i used to watch my father pay attention to, they also had the cool tricks with the ropes that they could do. I never really knew how they managed to get ahold of such skill, it was kind of the reason why I was so focused on honing my own skills with cards. People became more focused and dedicated to what they cherished. Maybe as you grew up, you saw some idols singing and wanted to sing as well and felt that you and your siblings were good at it. Could of went that route. "

Stopping his horse a bit, Gabe would look back.

"As for me, I kind of learned what I can be based off on a book, then it became my.....purpose.... I guess. I feel like meeting you was important....and now that we came this far, I want to see you grow up. I wonder if there is... anything existing in these endless nights that we go through that could.... possibly extend your life. "

Hearing Gabe mention how he got into cards and how others got into what they wanted to do Trinity lowered her head a moment, and as he mentioned maybe it was because they had wanted to become an idol, or one of them had seen one and wanted to sing as well, but it wasn't like that, they had been adopted with the sole intent of making them into an Idol group, it hadn't been their choice, They were younger at the time and had been trying to please their new parents, to an extent they still tried which is why the group kept doing all the Idol work. They honestly didn't know what they wanted to do, what they wanted to learn, they had simply come to accept that they would be doing this till they were done...

Looking up as Gabe started to talk about how he learned, how it became what he wanted to do, and then talked about seeing them grow up, and then wondering if there was a way to extend Their lives, things the group had looked into before, as much as they could anyway, and granted that was without the knowledge of the super natural. As for where the group found themselves now, as a whole they had decided to take what they were forced to do and at least try to use it to do something they wanted to do in some capacity, which is why they did the shows in the manner they did.

Trinity looked at Gabe as her pony moved up beside his horse "It must have been nice to find your calling on your own...We never had the chance to, as for the latter goal..I do not think it will be possible...but it would be nice..." Trinity said honestly in that monotone of her's and with the expressionless look on her face as the two rode "Thank you again for bringing us here, it's something we never had gotten to do before....nor did we think we would be able to do it..."

"We don't necessarily believe in things for the sake of possibilities. It would be nice if the goals were reachable, regardless of how realistic they truly are. But we, as human beings, have to aspire towards something or maintain our hopes for something. Living for the sake of living isn't as substantial if you don't have a desire to keep you going, because life could definitely bring us down.  So i'd like to think these things are important. "

Raising the rails, Gabe started to head back, heeding Nola to follow.

"Let's go get the basket and have some food before we lose some sun."

P.S- if you aren't feeling up for continuing we can end it.

Trinity listened to what Gabe had to say and it made some sense to her, but at the same time she had to wonder if was a waste of energy? Why not simply put that energy into something else? She had a goal simple or foolish as it was, but with the right amount of work it could become possible couldn't it? But in the end it was maybe a question for a different time as she looked over to him once more as he mentioned getting food and she nodded.

"Okay...and Thank you again for this" she said in her expressionless tone, though she did that happy little nose puff once again that Gabe would understand meant she was happy "We'll think about what you said, it makes some sense to me, but, I have always though a bit differently" she said as they rode back to the stables and put the horses in to let them rest.
