Sounds good, I need a ten more IC post before I can take on a second character ^.^ WC: 433!
Shanta pulled her hand back, after many, useless, attempts and luring the foal over, and shook her head smiling. She turned to face Liliana once more. As the Nadie Tadita reminded her of Buck's wild spirit, Shanta smiled even bigger. She looked at the young Stallion. She had yet to ride him, but it seemed as though she'd be spending a lot of time on his back. She had only ever broken one horse, the mare she had had in Maine. Shanta knew, however, that Stallion's were totally different than mares, a bit more strength, and a lot more spirit. Not to say that a horse who was broken faster had a weak spirit, just that Stallions tend to stay wild for a while. Something told her he wouldn't break easily, but she would do her best with him. Then when Liliana mentioned the cows and how their health also mattered, though she looked like she didn't mean it completely, Shanta laughed lightly. The cows were quite important to the Kalona, she had learned this in her time here. The cows would be much easier than the horses, she would just need to fill the waters, let them graze, and give them grain. The exercise of the cows, would be done while they stood in the fields and walked.
"So how long will you be away?" her question was not something that was digging, just something that Shanta needed to know. The longer Liliana was gone, the longer Shanta would be responsible for all of the animals. Not that she would be scared or be down on herself, when she did that, she usually failed. Her hopes were up, as were her expectations of herself. She inspected more stalls, many of them were clean, so she skipped those. She took the wheelbarrow over to a stall that needed cleaning. Climbing in and pulling the pitchfork in, she started to shovel out more waste. Shanta hadn't had much time to actually hang out with Liliana since she had been here, each of them busy with their own things. She finished shoveling out the poop and came back out of the stall. She grabbed herself another flake of hay, still being careful not to rub the irritating hay against her body, and took it to the stall. As she walked, she asked Liliana, "Would you like to go riding? We haven't really had time to actually get to know each other." She spread out the straw on the ground and dusted herself off. She climbed back out of the pen and waited for Lili's response.
