WHAT in person
WHERE the farm, though feel free to have encountered the GHOST HORSE
WHEN Night 3/Day 4 morning
NOTES ADVENT OF THE GHOST HORSE and/or MILD MANNERED PETTING ZOO ARRIVAL! (open/see below)

[anyone out wandering past Day 3's midnight (definitely doing something productive and not trying to find munchies or stagger home drunk) who happened to skirt too close to the wide-open spaces near the lake or woods might have gotten the fright of their lives last night. a dim, pale shape resolved in the distance, accompanied by an inexplicable ringing sound. if they were unlucky enough to be standing in the wrong spot, the chiming got louder and louder, and before they quite realized what was happening some kind of huge ghostly creature had swept past with desperate speed, an invisible force pushing anyone in the way off their feet to safety. A VERY SCARY GHOST!

a single resident of Quiet Mounds alone heard something else in this period: a familiar noise in his head.]

[...there's no explanation for the Ghost Animal Mystery if that just so happened to scare you last night. but if you arrive at the farm anytime past early morning Day 4, a beautiful white horse now seems to be part of the petting zoo. she's eating her hay in the field peacefully, barely flicking an ear at you; well, it's not like horses take a lot of notice of humans normally. or talk.]

((Notes: anyone can feel free to handwave Yfandes scaring you on Night 3, she wasn't paying attention to who she almost ran over! GHOST HOOOORSE. I'll play out her nearly running you over if you really want to and comment to that effect. otherwise, please check my stats and link me to your own/let me know anything you want her to be able to sense from your character! thanks guys ♥))

[nickers from the fenceline, ears pricked and lookin' Dave's way. APPLE!]

[a slight eyebrow raise at that expression, because that doesn't make sense, but he just discards it as a Dave-ism]

Her name is Yfandes. You seem to have made a good impression on her.

[Don't say yiffandes don't say yiffandes don't fucking do it Dave.

The result is that Dave shoves one hand against his mouth and mumbles against it unintelligibly while giving Yfandes the apple.]

[crunches it up carefully and gently, not dropping so much as a morsel on his palm; she does shoot Van a bit of a curious look, though, wondering if he knows what the mumbling is about]

[just gives a bit of a shrug]

:He says a lot of things I don't understand. I'm not sure they're meant for anybody to understand?:

She's my Companion. Ah, we can hear each other's thoughts, things like that.

... Thoughts.

Like.

Thoughts about apples??

:Tell him it was delicious, Van-love. I appreciate the thought.:

She says it's delicious and she appreciates the thought.

[Okay well he is definitely embarrassed but he's used to that so he rolls with it.]

I can't really take credit for your dude's apple I was just the method of conveyance.

:Ah, yes, but the thought was all his own.:

[whuffles at Dave's hair again]

Believe me, she's not that giving with her affections.

[a little wink to Yfandes]

[/////]

I do feel pretty damn blessed.

:Oh, Van, I'm glad you've made friends with him already. Do let me know if there's anything I can do.:

'Fandes says she's glad we're friends.

[he says to Dave, with a little spike of shy anxiety that Yfandes can feel, but doesn't show on Vanyel's face. automatically bracing himself for rejection, but wanting the chance of making Dave feel better if it's possible]

[Dave us flustered as hell but pleased.]

I always appreciate locking down friendship status but I ain't even got a shitty paper fan to coyly duck behind and shield my virtue here.

[nailed it]

:Dearest, do you know if the things he says are supposed to make sense, or if they're deliberately that way? I can't always quite tell.:

:I just try to make out the general idea.:

It's . . . fine? I think.

Hell yes it's fine.
Just,
Two dudes sincerely exchanging real-ass feelings in regards to friendship so there is no ambiguity as to the nature of of what all is occurring.
That's awesome.

[Yfandes doesn't say anything but Vanyel can probably pick up on her wordless, growing delight in how fucking cute this is]

[trying not to smile]

You can come visit us here whenever you'd like. Or just come talk to Yfandes, if I'm not around.

Yeah I might.

[nickers encouragingly, APPARENTLY THAT'S A GOOD IDEA]
