This is a continuation of a role play between me and Ookami from somewhere else. Leave a message if you wish to join, k?
My last post:
Cider rolls hereyes at his horse response to her reasoning. "Ya know you'll like it," she teases. Once she's in the river, she turns to look at Ichigo as his picks his way over to her. "The river feels so good. It's cool, which is good in this warm weather, but it's not freezing." To let he know what she means, she cups some water in her hand, and she brings it over Ichigo's back (let's say she's on a small, flat rock so she's able to reach xP). She does this more of Ichigo seems to react to it well as he may not like it as a horse. "Ichigo..." She says after a few minutes of silently washing him, more like dripping water down his back. "Do you miss your home?" She's not worried or anything. She's just curious. To show this, she adds, "What'd be the perfect new world to you if you could decide a world to make a home in right now?" ... Akira snorts her amusement at Grimmjow. "Seeing as you don't seem fond of a little bit of dirty fun, I'd say yes. I'm very proud." The mare watches the mud get pulled out of her rider's hair. "Heh, and it would seem it got everywhere on you anyways." She adds with added amusement. She watches Grimmjow carefully as he lets himself greet the colt and even touch him. Said Kurogane looks at Grimmjow's hand as it's raises up, and after a bit of hesitation on his side, the little nose moves to meet Grimmjow's hand. "Gw... Gwrimmjow," he forces out in greeting back, still having that baby voice that likes to make Rs sound like Ws. Akira tilts her head at him. He's trying at least, Akira muses. She says, "well go out to the paddock. I know Kurogane would hate to be cooped up in stalls, so might as well. I can see how grass makes a good dinner while I'm at it." She marches with Kurogane to said field, and once they're let in, she nudges Grimmjow one last time. "Goodnight," she tells him lightly before she and Kurogane take to the warm evening and grazing as if they really were horses. When Grimmjow gets to the house, our lovely hostess looks over to him and stifles her laughter, or more like she tries. "What'd you do? Go swimming in a mud hole?" It's all a tease of course. She can't help but giggle a little extra either considering that she finds the hollow mighty attractive. "I hope you like a bit of steak." If Akira were there, she'd resolve to eat the steak in front of the herd they herded, especially that one stubborn youngun. ... "I hope the grass isn't too bland for my lovely princess," Kouga soothes with a smile as she agrees to getting tack off. Of course, her idea her back, takes her off. Like the others, he figures she'd like a brushing. He finds on, and quickly, but not with out pleasure, brushes over her coat. As Kurogane goes on back to his mother, Kouga nods to Yurei. "Sounds like Akira will be going out as well as Kyo, so of course I'll let you stay out there." He smirks before kissing her nose, being gentle for her prey-mind to not worry about it too much. A hand runs over her neck. "I'll definitely come back, and then we can rest in the field together, k?" He hesitates before adding, "We don't have powers here, and I don't know if there's any predators to worry about, so be careful if you're gonna be out in the open like you are." After all, it's not like they seem to be close to any sort of city to wher predators might be more discouraged to get close. Still, he walks her out to an acre of fenced pasture where Akira and Kyo at least will surely be. "I should be back soon, love," he says as his good bye before heading to the house. When he enters, he sees their host. "Hurry and wash up," she says with a bubbly smile. "Got a good meal for y'all tonight!" At the grill before her, there lies what looks to be several decent sized steaks. This, baked taters, and green beans all collect together into a delicious aroma that Kouga finds amazing. He certainly wastes no time in claiming the shower so he can be clean while he eats. ... Kyo meanwhile agrees to being turned out in pasture. "I don't think stalls suite me," he tells Erza as his answer. "I can go back and play with my new ladies once all this tack is off. It's not like I'm so stupid as to run when I want to get to the next world, and I'd have to therefore stick around." He nudges her shoulder once the tack is off and his fur is brushed. Even if it is Erza, he has to admit that like Akira he finds the brushing to be a great relief. "Good night, rider," he says lightly. He waits for her to edit the barn before he does as mentioned and bolts over the fence and back to the ladies. After all, Yurei is taken, Akira is already a mom so no thanks, and Ichigo is a guy. There's no one to flirt with in his own group.

Ichigo continues to splash a bit before suddenly he feels the water on his back. It came as a surprise to him, seeing as he was more so focused on his splashing- something that entertains his horse mind greatly- than anything. However, his reaction to the perfectly temperatured water is not a bad one, and all Cider really gets is a bob of his head as said reaction. Still, as she continues to trail water along his person, he turns his head to look at her fully. "I'd be lying if I said that I didn't miss it at all," he tells her honestly. "But it's not like I'm homesick. Ever since I met Rukia, I wasn't really home often due to all the occurrences that would happen. So....I miss my family and friends simply because I knew them for so long. But I don't miss them at the same time". He goes on to focus on the second part of her question. "The perfect word for me.....A world where odd things like powers are common. I want to be able to freely use my abilities until the day I die," which won't be any time soon at all due to being a Hollow.
Grimmjow in the mean time lets out Akira and Kurogane into the pasture as they please before turning and making his way into the house. He stops as their hostess whose name he hasn't bothered to remember speaks up. For the first time since his final ascension, he feels hunger rumble in his stomach. He quickly looks to it with a raised brow, no longer familiar with the feeling of hunger, before looking to the woman. "I didn't go swimming, I went herding," he tells her simply. But still he goes on to tell her casually, "I'll eat anything you make....After a shower". After all, he is filthy. That said, he gives her a quick nod before heading up the stairs to find and claim a room that would be of use to him. He finds one, though unlike the world before there's not a shower attached to the room. Not surprising really, since this place is no where near as expensive looking when compared to Lyst's hotel. None the less, before he can even think of showering, he decides clean clothing is in order. What he finds will be mentioned later, but he does find something. Soon enough, he's standing under the warm water, a hand helping him to lean his tired human body against the wall as mud from all sorts of places fall from his person.
Yurei in the mean time adores the feeling of a brush going over her fur, letting out a nicker every now and then as the brush continues to run over her until he stops when all the hairs are all straightened out and the like. Luckily for Kouga, her pray mind isn't unkind to him, and therefore she takes the kiss on her fuzzy nose with grace, her ears perked and her eyes gladly meeting his own. "I'm sure the grass will be fine," she assures him as he leads her out to the pasture where she can join everyone else save Ichigo where ever he may be. "I'll be careful and I'll see you later, have a good supper," she calls to her lover after giving him a light nibble to his shirt's shoulder and continuing on her way. Now all she's gotta do is try this grazing thing that normal horses do. This should be fun that's for sure.
Erza in the mean time sends a backwards wave toKyo even though he may not see it as he's probably off on his way to flirting by then. However, her entrance to the house is greeted by a wonderful smell that makes her stomach demand that she eat as soon as possible. Being the cleanest of the humans that she knows of, she decides to sit and watch as our hostess is so kind as to cook them a meal. Deciding to kick up a conversation she questions, "So, if you don't mind me asking, how is it that you know about the witch?"

Cider continues to steadily bring water to his back to let it trickle down, a sort of wash like if there was a light rain just over his back. She listens as he answers her questions. There's a soft smile as he talks about his friends and life in his home world. It's easy to say he had a lot going for him back home, and she can't help but envy him at least a little bit. She stifles it, though. It's petty to dwell on, and she reminds herself that it leaves less regret as she remains with her new make shift pack of friends. At the mention of such a world, Cider makes a "hmm" sound, as if trying to imagine it for herself. "Well, that's vague, I mean even Akira's home fit that description for ya. But yea, a place to be ourselves would be best." She finally has her hand running along Ichigo's damp with a hand as she stops dripping water onto him. Then she gets to work washing herself down about half way through her own talking.
Akira meanwhile, as mentioned, nudges Grimmjow with a soft "goodnight" before she decides to make herself cozy. As she is joined by Yurei, the mare nickers a happy greeting. "So are you and Kouga doing well? Riding, that is?" She might as well strike conversation with her good friend. They have all night to do so at least. Still, the angry growl of her stomach makes Akira look pitifully at the ground. She's so hungry, she could eat a horse (pun intended), but the only thing available is grass. Ears flatten, and she says sharply, "Once I can eat things besides hay and grass, I'm going to find me the biggest slab of beef and devour it right before a stupid cow." With that, she reluctantly bends her head down to try the stuff under her feet as her horse instincts tell her to. Despite what she was expecting, that is a boring grass flavor, she's surprised to find that taste she has for it as a horse is... a lot different than as a human. She can taste the sweetness or bitterness or whatever else in it instead of the plain old grassy taste she expected. This... may not be so bad, but she still wants her steak before a cow when it's all over.
Kouga smirks as Yurei assures him the grass will taste fine. "I sure hope so, horse-y. It's what you got to eat. I can't just bring a tub of sugar cubes for ya." Still, once she is nice and cleaned as if they were remotely as muddy like Grimmjow and Akira. "Alright, I'll be back!" He calls. I assume Grimmjow found another bathroom or came in before/after with enough time to get in and out because as mentioned my Kouga showers up after he smells the delicious foods. Of course, he's always a sucker for food, but there's something about the way this food in particular smells that has his mouth watering. Who knows. Regardless, once he's dressed in new clothes, namely a hoodie and comfy blue jeans, he sits at the table just as the dinner should be about ready to serve. I believe the hostess's name is... Idk... May I think? Well it is now if it's not. Any who, as everyone gathers save our Cider, Kouga says, "Sucks for her for not getting back sooner!" before he lays claim to a juicy hunk of steak. The little experimented boy dives into the meal eagerly, not at all waiting for it to cool. Too bad he'll have a day to suffer through the the results of what happens when ordinary humans burn their tongues.
As I said. Kyo is off flirting away. xD He will be kinda pointless to RP now unless you are just dying for the endless babbling and horse flirting.
May snickers at the mention of the herding. "It still looks more like you rolled with the pigs. I sure hope that horse is cleaned up for the show. It may be no dressage, but it could at worst do nothing and at best help your performance." Of course, "that mare" happens to be Grimmjow's lovely, snow-white, feminine steed. Dark eyes narrow as she speaks, a small smile aimed his way. As he takes his shower, and when ever Erza comes in and asks her question, May looks to her with a wider, devious grin. "How I know the Witch, you ask? Maybe I will tell you in due time, m'dear. For right now, the dinner is cooked. So, let's sit down and get the dishes out to feed everyone. Might as well eat what you want. Cider can heat it up when ever she's done running around with Ichigo." The food is put in the middle of the table on serving dishes, and enough plates, forks, knives, cups, and napkins are distributed for the five of them. "Dig in before it's cold," she chimes to her guests, not at all waiting for them if they decide to suddenly play shy.

By the time Cider is half way through with cleaning herself up, let's say the sun is just about fully set. He shakes his large head and neck as is the best thing he can think to do in place of a simple shrug. "I'll let you know when I figure somewhere would be a good place for you and I to settle down". How cute, he's considering her too. It seems ordinary that he would, seeing as they're in love as much as they are, but even so I'm sure Cider appreciates the thought. He lifts his golden eyes to the almost fully darkened sky before splashing the water simply because he can. That, and because Cider didn't really get his belly and he feels this is the only way for him to do so. "You know," he tells her on another note, "We should probably get you back to the house. I'm sure they've got food ready for you if nothing else". He shuffles around a bit before turning and making his way to the bank of the water. "And I'm hungry. I'm not looking forward to grass but....Eh".
"Akira is nice and clean," Grimmjow told May before continuing on his way. XD Indeed, Grimmjow came in bit earlier than Kouga, so by the time he's taking his shower, Grimmjow's already getting dressed in the stuff he found to wear. Said stuff he found is a pair of blue jeans perfect for riding in that they're not to tight nor too loose. The shirt he ends up wearing is long and black and a button up, however he keeps half the buttons towards the top undone, showing off not only his chest, but the scar that Ichigo long gave to him after their last fight in Las Nochas. A brown belt helps keep his pants up. He doesn't bother with the black boots, not planning on going anywhere. None the less, he quickly makes his way down the stairs only to find that the plates and napkins and what not have already been set out thanks to the women of the group, AKA Erza and May herself. He sits down, ending up next to the hostess just because. And soon enough he's got his plate covered in some of everything that the woman made. He makes sure to grab one of the bigger pieces of steak, it making his mouth water the most. Not unlike Kouga, he doesn't wait for the food to cool down and ends up with a burnt tongue. However, he doesn't make any sort of fuss over it. At some point though, he does comment, "This is good," to no one in general.
XD I'm fine without the babbling and shameless flirting.
Yurei, by the time Akira decides to throw the two of them into a conversation, has already discovered that while grass is no where near as good as sugar cubes, it's not all that bad as she figured it'd be. However, the whole motion of gripping, ripping and quickly nibbling up the grass is a motion that she's gotta figure out before actually perfecting. "It went pretty well actually," she tells her fellow mare, "Kouga's gotta get used to posting and some minor motions he'll have to do in order to at least look like he knows what he's doing during the show but that's nothing that can't be fixed". She lifts her head up, ears perked for and sort of sounds that shouldn't be there as is a prey animal's instinct to do every now and then. After all, Kouga told her to be careful, and she plans on staying alert until he's back out here with her. "What about that cowboy of yours?" She lightly teases between bites. "I saw you were having a blast throwing him around until he finally got a hold of those reins. Did you two actually do any herding?" After all, for all she knows all that mud that Grimmjow was washing off earlier could have been from the fun Akira was having.
Erza in the mean time raises a brow as May decides to be all serious and keep how she knows the witch a secret for the time being. The Titania of Fairy Tail isn't gonna push for the information, finding that there's no real reason for her to do so unless something bad- such as a fight that requires their powers that they can't get to- happens. But she highly doubts anything like that is going to happen. Still, she agrees to helping set the table, pulling out cups after finding where they're stored and also pulling out what drinks might be available. At Grimmjow's compliment makes the red head nod in agreement as she sits across from the blueberry, between where Cider would end up sitting and Kouga himself. "Grimmmjow's right May, this is good," it's cooked in a way she's never tasted before, and it's wonderful.

Cider can't help but let a blush appear on her fair cheeks at the mention of looking for a place to settle down. "That'd- that'd be wonderful," she says with a smile, eyes unfocused as she imagines such a world. "Hopefully, It's a world where all of us can happily call home. After all, this group of idiots has grown too much on me to be able to let them go so easily." Still, she finishes her washing about when the sun is setting, and she looks over to the sound of Ichigo exiting the river. "Yea, I suppose calling it a night would be ideal, huh?" She follows her boyfriend-turned-stallion out of the river. Being with out clothes, it doesn't take long to dry enough to where it won't drench her clothes as they're slipped back on. "Yea, the grass sounds dull, but you need to eat for once. Maybe you can steal some more apples, right?" She tells him as she vaults herself up to catch herself onto his back. "Alright, let's head back. First chance I get, I will try to find you something that won't hurt a horse." She wants him to eat as nice as he can while he has his appetite, but she can't exactly just bring out french toast with out questions as of course May isn't the only one working this little horse ranch. There'd have to be extra hands at some point, no? As they reach the house, which should be right around the time the sun is nearly fully down, Cider dismounts, and she lets Ichigo into the pasture with Akira, Kurogane, and Yurei assuming he wants to be with others in their group. She promptly then goes into the house after a goodbye. Despite her original resolve to have to appetite in her mind, the wonderful, exotic smell of the way everything is cooked as her stomach changing her mind's mind for her. Widened eyes fixate on the steak left for her, and as May speaks, she barely listens before she gets her plate together to eat as is, not bothering for any warming as indeed the food by then will be luke warm.
May meanwhile happily eats with the three that arrived to begin with, not at all thinking of how remarkable her cooking is. It's just plain ol' steak to her, so it surprises her when she hears the hot blue-haired guy compliment her cooking. She looks to him and then to Erza and Kouga as they concur. "R-really?" She squeaks with a bashful blush, free fingers twirling her hair as she looks back towards Grimmjow. "Do you not get food like this usually? Surely you eat well at least at some point, right?" When Cider comes in, hair still damp from the play in the river, May looks to her. "At least you aren't caked in mud," she muses. "The microwave is over there if you want to heat up your food. There's plenty here." As Cider seems to disregard "microwave" as a foreign concept, May sighs. Crazy people.
"That's good. Guy learns fast, I'd give him that much at least." Akira works on nibbling the grass as well. It's tricky using her lips as she hasn't used them ever before and all. Still, as she asks about her and Grimmjow, the mare snorts. "Stubborn ass mule," she says, her ears pinned to her head as though she were still bitter towards him. Though, the light tone implies more of frustration. "It was fun making him hold on for dear life, that was for sure. Maybe I can give him more hell tomorrow as another warm up, but only if he says anything about riding me being 'easy' as he said the first time around. The mud was from the land under me being the squishiest stuff. I liked it, though I think Grimmjow could have lived with out the extra grime to wash off in tonight's shower." She flicks her tail lightly, and her ears only are alert for the motions of her wild child. Although, he isn't too wild now. Even with his new independence, he's still basically a baby that can get worn out. The foal rests nearby, laying all cozy like against a bale of the hale.
Kouga meanwhile continues to stuff his face, it being a good reminder of just how little manners he was taught, among other things, prior to his being with this group. It takes no time at all to finish his food, and he's so full that he was just a bite away of having eaten so much that he had to throw it up. He was done for ten minutes, where as May was at the end of her own meal, as Cider walks through the door. As the others comment on the cooking, he nods to her in agreement, and as she decides to play bashful, Kouga, with his thick brain, says, "Well, it was good. Otherwise, we wouldn't of eaten it, no?" Well... he would've. If it's edible, he could eat anything. Even inedible nonsense could be consumed with out getting sick. Still, once they were all done with food, Kouga decides to employ some of the manners he HAS acquired since meeting his new family of friends; he collects plates before May can, consequently freeing her up to chat to Grimmjow more if he can stand the obvious flirting that, out of my three including May, only Kouga can't notice too well as flirting.

Ichigo's horse eyes, being not the best eyes for seeing in the dark as they would be if he were back to normal, don't really see the blush on his lover's face as she becomes a bit bashful at the mention of settling down together. Still, as she hoists herself onto his bloody bay covered body, he trots at a casual pace as they talk. "I don't see why we wouldn't settle in the same world as the others," he states. "They're practically family as it is; I'm not leaving a second family behind". He goes on, "I really hope this body came with liking grass or else I'm hopping the fence and eating apples until I explode". None the less, once she's dismounted and he's in the pasture, he looks around for familiar forms. Kyo is off flirting with some mares, something he himself isn't so free to do, Kurogane is huddled up to a bale hay which means.....Ahh there the two are. He Snorts, proud of himself for finding them, before casually making his way to them. "Evening ladies," he greets, coming in a few moments after Akira is done explaining how her day went. He lowers his head, and begins the confusing process of nibbling grass. It takes him a few minutes that first one must gather blades of grass between their lips and hold them still before the teeth take hold and the head does the unrooting of said blades. However, he gets it down in time. As Yurei decides to interrogate him this time, he pauses, "My day went really well actually. Cider and I went on a nice long run, we ate some apples- which are awesome in this body- and then we went swimming".
Grimmjow in the mean time shoves another piece of meat in his mouth as May decides to be all bashful and send him glances every now and then. When she asks about them getting good food on a regular basis he shrugs. "I'm actually a species that doesn't need to eat," true that, "Same with Kurosa- I mean Ichigo". He corrects himself due to the fact that he's fairly certain the human girl doesn't know Ichigo's last name by which Grimmjow normally refers to him by. None the less, might it be mentioned that whenever she glances his way, he feels her gaze and meets it, but does nothing. As Cider comes in, he too is long done with his meal, and he raises a brow. Being the casual person he is, he leans back in his chair, arms hung over the back. "What'd you do? Go swimming or something?" Little does he know, that's exactly what she did. Unfortunately for May and her poor ability to flirt, Grimmjow is just as dull to that kind of stuff as Ichigo is, if not even more so if that's even possible.
Erza though, knows what little May is doing, and she finds the fact that Grimmjow's got a girl who has a crush on him cute. After all, from what she's seen, women that tend to flirt with the men of their group always tend to go for those who are ultimately taken. Unless it's Kyo, then he goes to the ladies. None the less, she rolls her eyes at Grimmjow and his blunt answer to May's words of eating good food normally. "I'm more partial to fruit myself, strawberries mostly, so it's not common that I find a meat that's better cooked than a strawberry cake is baked". She smiles and finishes up her meal, thanking Kouga lightly when he takes her plate from her, "You might be used to it but we're not. None of us here are normal". If they were, they wouldn't have been scooped up by the witch in the first place now would they?
Yurei can't help but nicker out a chuckle at Akira's frustration, easily recalling the fact that her fellow mare isn't so good at following orders. Whether it be as a horse, a dragon, or just herself. She's a free spirit through and through, making her practically impossible to tame. Only Horosha's slightly managed to do that, and he's not here anymore. "Sounds like you had fun in the end if you got nice and muddy and liked it," she nicker-laughs again. "And good job in putting him in his place. He needs someone to kick his ass every now and then". None the less, as she hears hooves approaching and picks up her head only to see a slightly damp blood bay stallion of a large size making his way to them. She bobs her head once in greeting before going back to nomming on grass. When he greets them, she stomps a hoof to silently return the greet again. "How did your day go, Mr. I-don't-know-when-to-bring-my-rider-back?" At the mention of swimming, her attention is gotten a bit. The last time she went swimming was when she was teaching Kouga, and back then I believe she was a dragon and therefore too big to swim in the water effectively. Maybe tomorrow they can find the river Ichigo was at and they can play in there too.

Cider nodded. "Yes, of course. We will have everyone together in the end, I pray." She smiles at the thought of finally fining a home, and she and Ichigo casually living together with all the others living nearby. They play and maybe even work together. Who knows. Regardless, she happily rests on Ichigo's back all the way back to the main part of the farm. "Well you seem to have other horse-type abilities... Naturally taking to expressions accurately associated with emotions as normal horses would. Do you feel at least a little skittish compare to your usual self? If so, then hopefully you retained the tastes of a horse so it all doesn't just taste like grass." She lets a hand graze his neck casually before dismounting as said and heading into the house. She looks to Grimmjow as he decides to interrogate her to get a list of her activities with Ichigo. "Yea, we found a large creek, and the temperature was ideal, so we played in the water. Found an apple tree, and Ichigo ate a lot of 'em right off the tree." Though at May's comment, Cider gives an awkward smile and laugh as she says, "My apologies, I didn't know that you had any real purpose besides the occassional treat. Still, she continues to devour the steak, potatoes, and green beans. The whole while, she notices too that May is being a flirt, and that Grimmjow is as reactive to it as Ichigo was to her all that time ago.
Oh boy! How attractive for May to watch Grimmjow stuffing his face as if he had no one fantasizing about him right now. xD Ah well, May looks past the eating because the guy is still hot and good with horses. Maybe... maybe if she can get close enough she can convince him to stick around. Shoot, sell that mare and her foal. They're nice-looking as horses. Someone would pay huge bucks for either of em. Unfortunately, she has no real plan. All the poor hostess sap can do is play chicken as she glances only to dodge his own as he ever tries to meet his gaze. Eyes narrow as she snaps with a flustered tone, "What?" To Cider as she giggles seemingly, and correctly, at May. As she is given an, "Oh, just a bunch of old memories" from Cider, May rolls her eyes lightly. At the mention of Ichigo eating apples, May gapes. "Ah man! Those are supposed to bebagged up and sold or at least given out!" She cries. She could only imagine how many apples that stallion can pick off for himself if he wanted to. The apology doesn't seem to even register in poor May's mind. To Erza, she says, "I don't know about strawberries right now, but I know we have otehr stuff. Apples, pears, and bananas are pretty much the fruit we have easiest and cheapest access to... Oh, and peaches."
Kouga listens to the ladies, and Grimmjow, talk things out. He pays no mind to the giggling of Cider's as he merely brushes it off as her being weird as ever. Still, he collects Cider's plate once she's done to clean it up as well, even before Cider can whine about having food she was still going to eat. Like heck she was going to eat more. With normal human appetites, she already ate a lot for that petite body of hers. How she isn't sick, Kouga doesn't know. Regardless, he finishes the dishes, and he looks out a winder to the darkness. He promised Yurei he'd he'd return, and so return he shall. He tells the others this before deciding to go on out again for the night. Though.. It's so dark... It's only when May randomly gives him a flash light that he can find his way around enough to get back to Yurei and the pasture she's in.
Indeed, freedom, besides Kurogane, is currently what she values most. The power she has gives her the chance to not have to rely on others. She can fight and defend just as well if not better than most other beings. The only one she couldn't defeat even if her life depended on it was Ichigo. Still, she bobs her head in a nod. "Oh, I will be sure to beat him as he needs it. Let me know if you ever catch him doing something while I'm not around, ok?" With all of the horses in one pasture, Akira seems to relax, though she only then realized she had been mighty tense in the dark with only her son and Yurei. As Ichigo talks about apples, ehr ears perk. "Maybe I can drag Grimmjow over for a bite before anything else." Seriously, she'll knock him onto her back and take off towards the tree before he can stop her. He has no powers to resist. She just has to make sure he has no bridle on her. Shoot, poor guy hated hte mud, maybe a river can cheer him up. he couldn't complain about being dirty while in water than, good he?

Ichigo lightly snorts as Cider talks about his new tendencies as a horse, someone's using big words and what not. None the less, as he gathers with the others he can't help but feel his head lowering on its own to nibble on the grass. He's still wary of the taste as per the flickering of his ears back and forth. However his eyes widen and his ears perk as he finds.....Grass isn't all that bad at all. While it still smells like your every day average grass, to him it tastes like some sort of sweet food dish that he can't quite place a name to. Still, he nickers out a chuckle as Akira mentions wanting some, "Best get them soon; they're nice and ripe by now so they'll probably start falling off the tree and rotting". A few minutes later, his ears swivel on their own in the direction of non-horse footsteps. His head follows next and he sees the familiar light of a flash light. He can't see the person holding the light, as his horse eyes aren't the best in the dark. However, he does gather the attention of the others- or at least Yurei.
Yurei lets out a light whinny to show that she truly believes Akira's words to be funny. She'd love to see Grimmjow be put in his place again. After all, he does have that 'king' complex still that needs to be gotten rid of. "I'll be sure to tell you," she assures her fellow mare. She herself has been completely relaxed this whole time, not at all bothered by the fact that they're in a wide open space and in the dark without their powers. Still, as Ichigo speaks up, her attention is taken from the grass she had been nibbling on and her eyes fall upon the flash light holder. Like Ichigo, she can't see him well. However she can see him well enough to know that, "It's Kouga". She makes to her lover and temporary rider, meeting him halfway over the distance between them. She greets him with a nicker and with a pair of ears perked. "Did you have a good supper, love?"
XDD He dun care. Still, he raises a brow as Cider admits that that's exactly what she had done along with eating apples with Ichigo. He chuckles lowly in his throat, obviously amused by the fact that the girl is fretting over a few fruits. "That tree is done for," he tells the girl, "When Ichigo needed to eat, he ate more than what we all ate tonight combined". As Kouga leaves to go to see Yurei he calls out with a, "Good night lover boy". There is no playful lilt in his tone, but the words are still nothing but a tease. However his attention returns to May as Erza points out something that she apparently asked earlier but never got an answer to. That is, just how the hell May knows the witch and just why she has to be some sort of guide for the lot of them and in turn for what exactly?
The redhead knows exactly what Cider is giggling about, and she can't help but smile herself. Erza is honestly disappointed that there will be no strawberries for her lest she go somewhere else with Kyo to find some. How uncool! She hadn't had strawberries in.....Years I do believe. And one can only control an addiction to the sweet fruit for so long. Hell, she's surprised she hasn't detoxed yet. None the less she now decides to change the subject from fruits to something more serious. "So, I don't mean to be pushy but the curiosity is killing me," not really, but the fact that the girl is keeping it a secret is interesting as that's never been done before, "How is it you know the witch? What did you trade with her for to know her in the first place?"

<p> yup, big words cause she's a smart cookie! Lol! Little cider laughs at May as Grimmjow drives her insane at the thought of the apple tree being picked clean. It won't that picked clean when they left it, but sh shuts up to enjoy May's panicking. She'd offer money, but she has none, certainly not any from this world. At least she's destracted enough to explain, however vaguely, the story of how she met the which. It's interesting to hear, and when may excuses herself, Cider lets out a louder laugh towards her hollow buddy. "Grimmjow has a girlfriend," she teased, a cocky half-smile plastered to her face. They won't see may after this world most likely, so she isn't mindful about her besides trying to not let her hear it somewhat. Should any disagreeing occur, Cider cuts in to say, "She's giggling and looking at you a lot. She's tried to talk to you most. Trust me, you have yourself another little fangirl." Should be agree, that's not said. </p> <p>...</p> <p> May fiddles anxiously with her hair now as they talk, giggling at Grimmjow's calling Kouga a lover boy. Though it's stopped with the whole apple tree problem. She gapes in disbelief at her crush. "A whole tree of apples? Surely that can't be good even for someone with a horse-size stomach!" She's looks down, her twirling finger paused as she worries a the damage to the tree. May is slow to recover from the bout of stress as she's distracted with a question. "How do I know the witch? Well..." She looks hesitant before she relents and tells a very brief story. "I once went through what you guys are doing. She took me from my world which is polar opposite of this one, and I jumped worlds for maybe 5 years before I arrived her and stayed." It is now after she spoke she realizes she was mostly looking at Grimmjow, and something tells me he's been looking back as she spoke. XD so she suddenly averts her gaze, cheeks flushed a bright pink before she says, "Excuse me. I need a shower." She may have just taken a shower as her damp hair would suggest, but she ignores it as she ducks out for a shower. </p>
Akira meanwhile snorts in response to the amusement before she continues to munch on the grass. As mentioned before, and much like Ichigo, the grass actually tastes rather good, but then her horse mind is better at deciphering tastes among grass. She would say they all smell and taste the same as a human. The former angel tells Ichigo, "I'd be more worried about getting the apples before we have to leave before I worry about them rotting." The Pure white mare turns an ear towards the sound, but pays it no mind, especially as Yurei announces who it is. "Well, looks like it'll only be three of us on nice comfy beds..." Of course, the grass feels comfy to her as well. In fact, the mare soon is copying her colt as she bends down and situated herself in a nice bed of her own food. "If only you could coax your pretty little girlfriend out to join us as well," she teased Ichigo.
Kouga meanwhile is long gone as all the stuff with Grimmjow, may, cider, and Erza go down with the merry making. Carefully does the boy pick his way over the pasture. After all, why would he want to ruin his freshly showerd-ness with stepping in a horse pie? Even he gruff and unsocialized Kouga can't stand being too dirty. He speaks up as he hears nearby horses breathing, "Guys, it's me, Kouga. Please don't kill me." Of course, he's only playing the scared role as he asks not to be eaten. He looks in the direction of his lover's voice, pointing the flashlight at the ground towards her only to see her hooves appear beside of him. "Ah, there you are!" He chimes lightly. "Dinner was great. That May girl really knows how to cook! Not as well as you though." He lets a hand rest on the nate's neck, ignoring Akira with her teasing. "I believe they were framing May out when I left because all those apples Ichigo ate were supposed to be for something else. Why'd you go and at a whole tree's worth of em, by the way?" He can't see Ichigo, but the question is obviously aimed at him.

Grimmjow by now is rocking his chair back and forth o the back two legs of his chair as May explains herself even if only a little bit. Of course he's got his eyes locked onto her the whole time. After all she's looking at him a she speaks so why not just look back? None the less as she leaves, he does note her damp hair, which makes him curious as to why she's off to get washed again. However as Cider decides that it's time to tease, he looks to her and all four legs are on the floor again. "Oh please," he denies towards the woman, "Why the hell would she be a fangirl of mine?" He shakes his head at her explanation with a huff, "If she thinks she'll get lucky, she's fucking herself over". Geeze Grimmy, won't even humor the poor farm girl? Talk about heartless XDD. He rolls his eyes at Erza's answers. Yea right. None the less he stands and stretches, "I'm goin' to bed. Night," he tells the ladies before heading up to his room and doing just that.
"That's actually rather interesting," she admits. She never thought they'd meet up with someone just like them. Sure, there was that other group, but even so. They were sent to the Witch. May and Erza's own group were picked up by the witch themselves. Erza in the mean time laughs lightly as Cider decides to tease and taunt the blueberry that is the final guy that's with them. "Well one, you're good looking, Grimmjow. And two, you've obviously got skills with riding horses- last life or not". She shrugs as he rolls his eyes at her and her explanation. He's free to think what he will, she supposes. None the less a few moments after Grimmjow is gone, she decides to stand herself, "I think he's got a good idea, though. I'm going to go to bed myself. Good night Cider". And it's with that, that she too heads up stairs after pushing the chair closer to the table than it was when she was sitting in it.
"Cider can sleep where she pleases," he chuckles in the form of a nicker, "Besides the separation is good for us". Don't want them getting claustrophobic with one another now dow we? Ichigo doesn't have much to stay as he has to admit that the long run he and Cider went to is finally getting to him. So by the time Kouga is with them, he's already laid down and starting to doze off. "A whole tree? Not in this body," he tells the boy, "I only ate like eight. If it was Grimmjow talking then he was probably exaggerating". None the less, it's by the time he's done talking that he decides sleep is a good thing. The result his head drooping as he situates himself in his laying position and letting the world of horse dreams take him. As a pre-thought to falling asleep, he tells himself that he wouldn't be surprised if he drempt about running or something.
Yurei nickers out a giggle as Kouga plays scared at first, only to find her hooves right by him. As per usual, the muscles in her neck shiver in pleasure as the hand runs down it ever so soothingly. If it's one thing she'll never get tired of in this world, it's the feeling of being pet by her beloved Kouga. None the less, she looks to Ichigo curiously. He can heat that much? With a normal horse's stomach? At the explanation she bobs her head in understanding; that makes a lot more sense. However upon seeing that both Ichigo, Kurogane and even Akira are nestled down for sleep, she nudges Kouga's shoulder. "Looks like it's time for bed. You ready?" If so, with a little bit of difficulty- as she'd never done it this way before- she manages to lay down in in the soft grass.

As may "showers" up, or rather sleeps by the sound of no water running, Cider giggles. "Yea, honestly you are hot. Of course, you're not as horse Ichigo as far as I'm concerned, but May and those two girls in that shinobi world prove you're hot." She can't help but be grateful that he isn't letting this to to his head. Poor Akira would have it all the worse as his horse. Still, she chants to him as he decides it's time for bed, "Grimmjow is a stud muffin." She doesn't let Grimmjow get a word in if he has anything to say, as she bolts out of her chair and disappears into a room to claim it for the night. The next day was as fun as this afternoon and almost as fast. She helped with the barn that morning while Ichigo ate up, and then she went to work with him for the competition. Now, she stands beside her steed in a whole new setting. People and horses bustle around, all covered in leathers and spurs and hats. Cider raises a brow as she looks to Ichigo. "This... Is something I've never even seen before... Have you seen anything like this?" She herself is in a red and white plaid button up and tan pants with a dark brown pair of riding boots.
Akira snorts. "Yea... After being reversed in gender, you sure you want a few more nights of memory of that manly Cider with you? Or vice versa?" She's only teasing. Though at the mention of the apples, she snorts. "I'm surprised you didn't eat the tree itself." Again, it's a joke. Still, as they settle down for the night, she beckons a light goodnight to the other six before calling it a night. The next day, Akira does as planned and suddenly snatches Grimmjow up before he can put a bridle on her, using her head to knock him into her back before she flies to where Ichigo was talking about the apple tree, and she snacks on them. She even insists he try some while he has a human appetite. She then continues to practice with him, and if you'd allow, let's say they didn't end their training near as well the previous night. Let's say they has a difference in opinion. Akira wanted to keep moving only for him insist she come to a half, and Akira being Akira deciding to get stubborn and rebel as bast as she can with a bit in her mouth. Now, she stands, fully in tack, beside Grimmjow. Kurogane sticks close for once, and she's grateful for it. The white mare gets admirable and jealous looks as they lead their less than perfect steeds along (well, compared to her they're not. XD) She uses her nose to touch Grimmjow's shoulder. "Don't get crazy here," she teased, commenting about the amount of people.
Kouga laughs as Ichigo explains he only ate eight apples. "Well, Grimmjow bout had her explode from stress. Cider tried to say you didn't eat that much, but she didn't seem so convinced. Seems the little hostess as a huge ass crush on our Grimmy." Thank goodness Grimmjow ain't here to hear him say Grimmy. The next day, he heads back early for breakfast only to come back out. Like Cider, he helps May around the barn for a good part of the day. He then eats lunh, and sneaks out sugar cubes for his lovely girlfriend, and tacks her up for another crash course in dressage. He spends that night out in the the pasture with Yurei as well, and now, he's rather tense about all the people. "Why does every damn person in this worn have to be here," he mutters as he sticks close to his mare, glaring tensely at all the strange people. It's not like a simple walking side of the street in a large city. No, it's the type of crowd you see at the fair or big amusement parks. "I hope we can get this over with fast...."
Kyo enjoyed his night with the mares. He didn't once return until Erza was spotted to get to work as I assume she will. He then beckons the ladies good bye for the day. He prances through the lessons, snorting and ringing his tail and bobbing his head em eve the mares were in sight. To say the herd stallion was not happy is a gross understatement. The stallion chased Kyo around once when he jumped into his pen by accident. Kyo whinnies with joy as they clear the fence to escape the mean stallion. Come day of the show, he's there and just off the trailer with Akira and the otherS. "Yeesh, it's crowded here," he complains. Most aren't even ladies let alone pretty ladies to flirt with. Yes, he means the horse ladies. He looks around before looking to May and Rose Lee as they too are with them. "What are we to do?" He asks the two.
May the next day is constantly trying to impress her newfound crush and help in if he ever needs help. Of course, this doesn't get in the way of work. In fact, she's trying to show off how well and strong she works as she shovels poo and gives the barn horses their hay to eat. She rides her mare around, trying to show off her own talents as she jumps fences all professional like and watches the mare and Grimmjow work cattle to offer any pointers. For her sake, let's say she has one to give which is forgotten as Akira starts to remind Grimmjow why it was it was her freedom taken away in the beginning anyways. The day of, she looks around after her mare is with her. She looks confident, shoulders back and head high and all. She comes up to Grimmy's nose this way. XD she says, "I need to get you guys registered. Come this way to help me with information. They'll provide a schedule for which competitions to first and the order of competitors in each competition. Oh and..." She looks dead at Kyo. "Keep in mind people aren't used to talking horses. Make sure you're discreet when you talk and don't talk all in the ring. You've had two days to work out a system of commands, and I hope you follow through with it." She then leads the way to registration where of course Cider registers as Ogichi. Let's say.... The English type competitions are first: the dressage and jumping.

The next day is filled with as much fun for Ichigo as yesterday was, though he suggested they not open it up with a run just yet as he's still cool and therefore could hurt himself. Still, seeing as they agreed to do jumping and racing, Ichigo suggests they work on the former since they tried the latter the day before. It took some work for him, seeing as he wasn't used to jumping on all fours, but he got it after a while. He wasn't so flashy in his celebration, finding only the need to show off to Cider- that is if he wanted to show off in the first place. The time had gone rather fast before soon enough he finds himself standing amongst other horses and riders alike. He's been well groomed so that he looks nice and pretty for the time being before he gets all dusty from the things he must do. On his back is the usual saddle and on his head and face the usual bridle. However as he stands next to Cider, with her I'm assuming holding onto his reins so he doesn't 'wander' off. "No, I've never seen anything like this," he tells her. "Dad was always running the clinic and the girls and I never really went anywhere so...Yea". He shakes his head in place of where he would normally shrug. However as May announces that they've gotta get registered and that people aren't used to talking horses, he falls completely silent what with the people around them. He rolls his eyes as he watches his rider register as Ogichi and looks over her shoulder with ease as they're given a schedule. However.....Something rather interesting happens- if you will. As it turns out...As a horse, he can't read. To his horse eyes, the writing is nothing but scribbles.
Grimmjow opts to ignore Cider and her teasing for the night and settles for sleeping instead. The next day, just to torment poor May, he had opted not to wear a shirt the entire time. Therefore just leaving him in boots and jeans and a belt. Why? Because seeing as he's used to vests, he doesn't like the feeling of long sleeved shirts. They're too constricting and don't feel right for him. He didn't appreciate being knocked onto Akira's back at all, and as such he decided to curse her out a bit as a result of his frustration. Still with the attitude of InuYasha, he still tries the apple but doesn't admit that it's actually quite good. Still, as May does her best to show off, he does appreciate- not that he'd tell anyone- the fact that she's trying so hard. Too bad she's a weak human girl and he's actually a mighty Hollow. That and she's just so....Timid it seems. Compared to what he's had to deal with (cough Akira cough) she's not that interesting. Still he did thank her for the tip sent his way. The day of the show, he's been forced by Erza to put on a long sleeved black shirt and jeans just so one he doesn't get yelled at and two so that he doesn't end up with more fangirls than he needs. None the less he looks to Akira as she nudges him, standing between she and Kurogane and leading them both- Kurogane by lead line and halter due to the fact that people aren't used to horses following people around like dogs- along. "Right back at ya girlie," he now looks to Kurogane, "And you....You behave. Got it? Your mother and I are eventually gonna go in the ring and have to leave you behind. I don't wanna hear about you causing trouble while we're working. Got it?" It's not until after that, that he registers and gets himself a schedule. "Jumping and Dressage are first," he tells Akira, "We can relax".
The next day with Kyo is basically the same as the day before. That is, working on jumping and letting Kyo's horny self show off as he pleases. What was really interesting was getting away from the jealous heard stallion after they accidentally jumped into his paddock. That was when they learned just how fast Kyo could run and how easily he could collect himself and jump. The day of the show, when Erza saw Grimmjow trying to leave without a shirt on, she practically bitch slapped him and sent him back to his room like some sort of pissed off mother. And also like a pissed off mother, she did the tucking in of his shirt. It was kind of weird having her fingers where they shouldn't normally be, especially not being romantically involved with him or anything, but it needed to be done. She's grateful that May decided to tell them what they had to do next, and as such with her being dressed in the usual show jumping garb, she takes a hold of his reins and leads him along. When she gets the schedule, she looks it over swiftly, "Looks like jumping and dressage are up first". Her eyes fall onto Kyo's frame, "Ready to show off your masterful jumping skills?" As Yurei explains that like Ichigo her horse eyes can't read human writing in this world, Erza gladly helps the two out in registering them and also showing them that dressage as well as jumping are the first two things to go.
The next day, Yurei makes sure to refresh Kouga's mind on what he learned the day before, before moving on. She teaching him how to lead her into a side step as some horses do, and how to make tight and sharp turns as needed. Other than that, her day is uneventful when compared to the others. Though she does enjoy the sugar and the time with her lover of course. It is when they get to the show that while her horse instincts don't really like the crowd either, her mind wins them over. After all, if she's stressed she won't be able to help Kouga remain calm and a bit more relaxed. "Just keep your eyes on the prize," she tells him lightly before she lightly nibbles his shoulder in a form of comfort. "Shit," she mutters as Kouga gets himself a schedule. No matter which way her eyes move or how hard she squints them or what way she turns her head, she can't read the babbling scribbles on the paper that Kouga holds. "I can't read that," she tells Kouga, and he's illiterate as it is. She looks a bit to the right before calling out to Erza, "Could you read this for us? Apparently horses can't read and you know how Kouga is". As Erza explains, she bobs her head in thanks and then smiles to her lover, "See? This'll be over in no time, love," she's careful as to when she talks, knowing that people aren't used to talking horses.

I don't see a problem with that. Let our horses be illiterate! xD Cider looks rolls her eyes playfully as they're told to watch their talking in front of everyone. They all seem so distracted with their own nonsense that they could care less about when she's doing or where Ichigo's voice is coming from. The little shinigami-witch looks to Ichigo as he tries to read the paper, and seeing as how they have their mental telepathy here, she manages to tell him through their minds, "We have to jump first. The racing will come last." She smiles as she pokes the side of his face, obviously not caring how un-equestrian that looks. She's rode horses before with real purpose, and she knows Ichigi and vice versa. She will poke him as she dang well pleases. Still, she smirks as she says, "C'mon horsey. Ogichi wants to warm up since the jumping starts here in about thirty minutes." And as such, time passes for our two as Cider, assuming Ichigo consents, finds a pen to warm up in, and does so accordingly. She lets him warm up, merely keeping composure to keep appearance, as Ichigo does what he feels is needed to be able to make those jumps with out injury. XD It's a good thing she made him put on a shirt. Poor thing would be mobbed by the girls if he hadn't had his shirt on. And Akira would embarrass him just to make sure his head doesn't get too big. Since he's in check, AKira settles to just stand calmly beside him. She even teases with a, "Can you breathe in that shirt, dear rider?" Kurogane gives a defiant whinny as he is told to behave. Akira is so proud of her son for it too, letting out a whinny of her own to show her amusement. She will keep talking to a minimal, but she won't just stop talking all together. Once Grimmjow has a schedule, she tries to read it, but flattened ears and a frustrated pawing of her hoof shows that she's failing as indeed the characters look like nonsense to her. "I take it we have a while before we need to warm up then," she muses to her rider. Still, she looks away from her rider to a rather surprising sight. "Hey, aren't those t-," she hushes suddenly. She nudges in the direction of a pair of fifteen year old girls with familiar faces. There's a pink hair, teal-eyed lass and a blonde-hair, blue eye lass friend, each with their own horses to obviously compete. Indeed, if you haven't guessed it, it's our beloved Sakura and Ino from the ninja world. Akira only hushed because they started to take interest in who Akira can only assume is her own Grimmjow. Ears go back. If she were human looking again, there'd be a smirk right on her face. This will be funny. These two and May all fawning over Grimmjow. As for mister Kyo, he is more than happy to strut, and he'd be upset if Erza were to be like Grimmjow and crush his fun as he crushed Akira's desire to splash around in mud. Still, the stallion has become a master jumper. He's jumped all the fences at the ranch, there's no way he can miss a jump here! Still, as they get the schedule, Kyo begrudgingly checks on the others' thoughts on not being able to read. "Dang, I'm as good as blind when it comes to words," he mutters, staying low in his voice to avoid attention since May didn't want to let others see the magical talking horses. The stallion, like Cider, urges his partner, "We should warm up if we're up soon." He and Cider end up sharing the one pen as it's easily big enough for all of our group to warm up in as they need to. Kyo starts at a walk, upping his gait with ever lap or two until he's at a full canter only to slow back down as slowly. It's too bad he doesn't see any jumps to warm up with, as he figures it wouldn't warm up his jumping as well, but ah well. He's confident he can make it anyways. Kouga learns fast as always, easily being reminded of the past lessons only to absorp the new ones as fast. In the end, he's basically going to let her do her thing and he remains still... well... still as in leaving the reigns relaxed in his hand. She's smart, she knows what must be done. Plus, dressage is one of those where you want to be subtle in your commands so why not? Still, come competeition day, he stands with her, all dressed up in the classic jeans, boots, belt, and a black button up. AS far as registration, he blanches at the sight of all the foreign words and even Yurei's inability to read. "I sure hope we don't have to read things out there, cause if so, we both are kinda screwed," he mused. "Oh well, if Dressage is first, I believe we need to start warming up as we didn't do so at the house."

Ichigo snorts as his face is poked, his teeth grabbing at the fabric on her shoulder in retaliation. However after letting her go, he bobs his head in agreement to going off to warm up, seeing as that'll be coming up soon. He stands still to allow her to mount and settle before shifting his own weight in order to get used to her frame being on top of his own. Upon entering the ring, he too is a bit disappointed that there's actually no jumps here to use to warm up. But they'll have to make do. Mentally he questions her, "If we're in two categories and the others are in just one....Should we still smoke this joint or let Kyo and Erza have it?" Because god knows Ichigo and Cider could easily be on par with Kyo and Erza, if not be better than them, if need be in this portion of the competition. Still, he trots and canters and collects as need be until about fifteen minutes pass. He figures his muscles will still be nice and warm when it comes to being his turn. Thus, from this point forward he'll let Cider play the role of rider and literally lead him this way and that by direction of reins.
"Hell no I can't," he tells the white mare as he holds onto her reins, "Why can't I just wear a vest or something?" Oh that's right, if he does, Erza'll beat the shit out of him. He can't help but grumble as Kurogane decides to show that he doesn't feel like being a good boy, "Brat," he rolls his eyes. However of course the words aren't scornful. They haven't been scornful in a while. Which a obviously a good thing. And of course his mood isn't helped when Akira points out a rather familiar duo. "Shit," he mutters low in his throat. And of course because he's looked their way, they're bound to think that he's interested in him. This is gonna suck ass. What the hell is he gonna do now? "You wanna explore while we wait?" He questions, "The western stuff isn't until later so we're free to do what we want for now". he says this as he mounts the mare with a heave. and gathers up her reins in one hand while the other continues to hold onto Kurogane's lead line. Anything to get away from those two freaks.
Yurei in the mean time shakes her large head, "We don't have to read anything once in the ring," she tells him assuringly. Though like Ichigo, she stands still and lets him mount then settle down as he pleases into the saddle. And once he's ready to go, they head off to the very same ring that holds our boys and Cider and Erza. However she decides that the middle part will work best for their warm up. And so, she gets to trotting in circles, backwards, side stepping, and anything else they've gone over. "Are you nervous?" She questions Kouga, still careful as to who hears them even though she sees only friends in the ring. Yurei herself is a bit nervous. She's never been part of a horse show even though she knows what's to go on. However, she knows she'll have to suck it up soon enough and just give it her all.
Erza in the mean time is confident in her and Kyo's skills despite the fact that not only will they be going up against Ichigo- whose luck is seemingly always on his side- as well as other contestants that she's positive have been doing stuff like this much longer than she and her partner. Still, she sits tall and keeps her hands quiet, working on keeping her tempo perfect with each of Kyo's paces and making sure that things are efficient enough in terms of when her weight is and isn't on his back fully is all perfect. You could say that doing all that is a bit over board, but this is Fairy Tail's Titania of all people. Of course she's going to make sure that everything is perfect.

Well seeing as how they have normal, level playing field, Cider tells her steed, "I think that we shouldn't hold back. After all, were level here. There's no powers to seperate us. We don't need to hold back lest you want to insult them and possibly humiliate yourself." Cider smirks at Ichigo as they continue to warm up. "It's not our fault if they didn't want more than one contest, and the Witch told us to try anywho." She barely moves the reigns, as surely Ichigo doesnt need actually signals to know what to do, but still she plays the part and directs him. They will be the first of our group to go, and one of the first over all of the total of 15 competitors. Let's say they're number three. Cider mentally checks in with Ichigo, "You know the pattern well enough?" She asks Ichigo as surely he's seen the other two make their runs.
With Kurogane, he decides to give reason to his favorite male person's nickname for the foal. He snorts and playfully tugs at Grimmjow's shirt, as if it won't already bugging him. Akira remains amused, and when Grimmjow complains about the shirt, she lets out another amused snort. "Part of trying here is looking the part I'd imagine. You'll be ok. At least you don't have metal in your mouth." As for the two that decided to appear, Akira's day gets better and better as she watches Grimmjow. "Daw, don't wanna at least entertain your fans? How mean!" Once he's on her back, he needn't tell her to get going to make her do so. In all reality, they seem like not the type Akira would get along with, and she'd probably lose it if they pestered her son. Still, she can't help but let out a, "No need to be so bossy," with a tug at the reigns in idle stubborn rebellion. Still, she trots off, picking through the crowd as they search for something interesting. Maybe you can decide what it is they do till it's their turn.
Kouga goes through the motions of posting as Yurei instructed the last two days, getting into the rhythm of her stride. He remains focused to ensure that he stays correct in posture and movement. As she asks if he's nervous, he answers with equal subtlety. "I'm not too nervous. I hate all these people around, but I don't give a damn about them. Well just do our best as the witch requested and be on our way so it won't matter if we are remembered or otherwise." He smiles as she talks about this being her first time. "Just relax, love. It seems like it'll only be a few minutes in front of everyone. So, I wouldn't worry too bad, k? Let's just do what we've practiced these last two days and we will be fine." Awww, look at reassuring Kouga. He's being all mature and stuff. XD
Titania is bat shit nuts, but we all love her. XD Still, Kyo struts along, doing so unintentionally because of his time with the ladies making him pick up such habits. Still, it doesn't hinder his stride or his ability to collect. He's aware of the competition, but like cider, he knows that with out powers, they're all on a level playing field here. He intends to take the chance of possibly besting the usual monsters of their group. He can't of any ladies that may be watching down, after all! Still, he stops warming up as the competition starts. He needs to see the competition, especially Ichigo, as well as how they're supposed to maneuver through this array of hurdles. As it comes to Ichigo's turn, he mutters, "That's who we gotta beat more than anyone else while we can, Erza." He highly curious about how well they'll perform.
