- A blanket... *blinks* lol -
Flika snorted as her orbs examined the piece of tack in Maraiah's hand. She shook her dial as her owner stroked her, not liking the idea of that 'thing' getting closer.

ooc:// well...fair enough... +does a cheesy+

Maraiah was ready for this, and she replied with soothing hand gestures, and a soft, gentle voice.It's alright, honey... She soothed, touching the bridle to Flika's neck slightly.

Flika started to calm a bit at Maraiah's voice, but then jumped a little as the bridle touched her neck, but stood still otherwise. Her nares flared as she breathed deeply, her auds alert, a small ring of white showing around her eyes for a few small moments.

Maraiah waited for the ring of white to dissapear around Flika's beautiful eyes, and slowly massaged the bridle up her neck and towards her maw, where she carefully fastened it in one fluid motion. This would not be the first time Flika wore the bridle, but clearly the filly was still nervous.

Flika tossed her dial angrily as the thing was fixed around her dial, and backed away from Maraiah, almost like she was going to rear. Slowly, she calmed, but still stood tense, breathing heavily.

Maraiah followed suit, but slowly, waiting for Flika to catch her breath.I'm sorry girl. But that's why I bought you. So we can ride...How Maraiah wished to be in the saddle once more, hear the clip-clopping of a horse's hooves under her legs! For it had been months since she rode- how she ached for the familiar ache in God knows where...

- 0.0 LOL, that was funny... heh, sorry -
Flika shook her dial irritably again, snorting once more, but stood still for the most part, although she stood tense. Flika watched Maraiah, most of her attention on her, waiting to see what she was going to do next.

ooc:// hee hee.  ic:// Maraiah paused, rubbing Flika's neck for a moment, her beautiful blue eyes fixed on something far, far away - further than the horizon, further than this planet - and then she sighed and picked up the saddle, allowing Flika to sniff it slightly. One of her hands still firmly gripped the reins. |

Flika's maw pushed Maraiah impatiently as she dozed off to another world, and shook her dial once more. She backed away from the blanket at first, but soon took back the steps she'd taken and sniffed the blanket, still being cautious.

ooc:// lol...who said anything about a blanket?  ic:// Maraiah moved the saddle to Flika's backbone, and placed it on her uncertainly, just letting her get the feel of it without strapping it up.See? It's not that bad!She encouraged. |

- Oops, sorry.. I just get lost in my own world at times -
Flika's back arched, like a young filly, but not quite as bad as she attempted to skitter out from under the saddle. She snorted though, and stopped, white around her eyes as she stood, looking like she was ready to bolt.

Maraiah lay the saddle confidently on Flika's back. She looked the young mare in the eyes boldly.Flika....you have to learn.She said firmly.

Flika didn't respond to Maraiah's words, although her ears were still on her, she was mostly paying attention for any sign of movement.. Like something that could possibly spook her could be blamed if she decided to get that thing off her back.
That 'thing' didn't come, though, and she snorted restlessly, starting to get impatient.

Sighing as if Flika didn't reply to Maraiah's standards, Maraiah ducked down, and tightened the ropes quickly, wary of the filly's strong legs. She jumped backwards as soon as the loop was done, slightly looser than she would have preferred, but tight enough to keep it on Flika's back.

Flika side-stepped away from Maraiah as she ducked down, but that was her only reaction other than a slightly nervous snort. As Maraiah stepped away, Flika's dial was turned toward her, auds pricked, seeming to not care about the saddle anymore.

Maraiah breathed out gratefully, and stepped forwards to stroke the filly's maw.That's it, Flika! Now for the fun part...She lay a hand on the saddle expirementally, pressing down as hard as she could, or as hard as she thought she would weigh.

Snorting, Flika only flinched as more weight was added to the thing on her back. Her ears were laid back, not in a way of warning, but so she could listen to Maraiah without turning her head. She chomped the bit akwardly, shaking her dial a little.

Confidently but smoothly, Maraiah preceeded to reach over the saddle, her chest pressed over the saddle, to touch the stirrup on the other side. She wanted to see how Flika would react to something living and breathing on her back.

Flika's head was swung high as Maraiah moved over the saddle, the white re-appearing around her eyes, appearing ready to bolt at any moment again.

E-easy girl, easy,Maraiah murmured, stroking her hidn-quarters with the back of one hand.
