Who: Vivian Volkoff and YOU (via this post)
What: Horse riding, meeting new people.
When: 23rd September
Where: At the stables and the castle grounds
Rating: None.

Vivian was expecting a few people to turn up this afternoon at the stables so she had spent most of the morning preparing everything and getting the place ready. She was changed into her riding gear and was standing by Oklahoma Rain's stall, brushing his mane. The other horses were already taken care of before so Vivian didn't have to worry about them.

She found herself to be looking forward to this because it meant that she could get to know some more people and hopefully gain a few friends out of it. More importantly, it could also lead to Vivian finding a few riding partners because while she enjoyed taking her horse out by herself, having company was never a bad thing.

She follows after Percy and his horse with Oklahoma, keeping at a steady trot to begin with before heading towards the field. Vivian comes up along beside them, glancing over at him with a smile.

At least it was nice weather for a ride. The horse Percy chose was itching to gallop but he held it back for now, letting it trot to get its legs working. Even without reins or a saddle, Percy looked entirely comfortable on the horse. He didn't even have to guide it at all.

The weather was beautiful, despite it not being the summer months anymore. Handling a horse was like second nature to Vivian; she had years of training and with owning her own horse back home, she had lots of opportunity to hone her skills.

"You're very good at this," she calls over to him.

"It's in my blood," Percy answered her with a wide grin. He almost felt at home when he was with the horses. It was just too bad there were no pegasi. Now that would feel like home.

"These guys really do need to get out more. Even if no one wants lessons, we should let them out anyway for exercise."

"Definitely, yeah," Vivian said, giving him a smile. She encouraged her horse to go a bit faster, picking up into a slight gallop before looking back at Percy.

"I agree with you, Percy. They need to have a bit of exercise now and again to keep them strong. Can't stay cooped up like this forever."
