WHAT In person
WHERE Around!
WHEN Day 5, nearing sunset

[Where are you this lovely evening? Some places other than the mall or the coffee shops, maybe. It's a beautiful sunset. Where could you be?

The park? There's a rest stop vending machines, public toilets and a shack full of park gear. Canoes, kayaks, some things like volleyball nets, picnic supplies so forth and so on.
The lake? It's a great place to watch the sunset. A true mishmash of wildlife and unusualaties, the lake is a calming place to go, dip your toes and relax. Or go boating! Everyone loves boating! Just try not to look down into the depths.

[circles closer, keeping a skittish distance]

Hii, horse, nice horse... Why don't people put nametags on their horses...

[turns her head to watch him with interest, pricking her ears up]

[stops circling and pulls out his phone to check the distance between the park and the farm, wavering for a little while more...

digs through his pockets for a mostly empty bag of birdseed and pours out a handful, making kissing noises at her]

Uh, hey, hey tsk tsk, c'mere. You can't be here at night.

[birdseed? really? dude.

STARES AT HIM WITHOUT MOVING]

C'mere, tsk tsk. It's millet, millet's good...!

[pricks her ears a bit more

i mean if you want to walk over here and offer it to me i might try it but i ain't moving, sir]

[you are a very big animal and i have the instincts of a very small animal]

[inches closer. baby steps closer.]

Good girl, nice girl.

[she seems equally unlikely to leap to her feet and chase you off as she does to move in general, so you've got that going for you]

[crouches down when he gets close to her, offering the birdseed out on an open palm]

Heeeey there.

[heaves a put upon sigh but okay, stretches out her neck and lips up the millet to be polite. could be worse]

[!!!! YAY]

Is it good? Maybe I should have grabbed hot dog buns...

[considers this seriously and bobs her head]

... Do you want hot dogs buns? I can get hot dog buns, I have the keys.

[BOBS HER HEAD AGAIN

IT'S KIND OF DELIBERATELY AMBIGUOUS WHETHER IT'S A COINCIDENCE + FLIES OR THE OTHER OPTION, HONESTLY]

[he is going to VERY, VERY HOPEFULLY take that as a yes]

Okay, I'll be right back, don't go anywhere? Or do, just not into the woods? But then I wouldn't need be bribing a horse if the horse was moving.

[gonna go raid concessions for hot dog buns brb]

[this is... hilarious

is there even an actual rule that horses can't hang out at the lake at night]

[horses belong at farms!! this poor lost horse]

Back! Back and you're still here, cool, I have buns now!

[a whole armful of hotdog bun packs]

[watches him with interest. what... what are you going to do. this is incredible]

[gonna offer her a hotdog bun]

Bread! Look, tasty bread.

[TAKES THE BUN!!! eats it slowly.

looks at him with big eyes]

Good? It's good, right?

[scoots back a little, just enough that she'll have to reach for the next piece]

[APPEARS TO ENJOY THE BUN

sure doesn't move though]

C'monnnn there's more bun over heeeere

[whickers low in her throat and it DEFINITELY SOUNDS SUSPICIOUSLY LIKE LAUGHTER, ALSO]

C'mon... What? No, wait, noooo.
