"Well, they may come around sometime soon. They are unpredictable and seem to come and go almost as if it's at the whim of some higher power."

He chuckled.

"But who knows, I'm no slave to fate and I simply take what comes my way. So if they do ever swing by I'll do my best to let you know."

Vasiliki @melodichooves.bsky.social · Feb 13

"I see."

She seemed to visibly deflate at the statement. It seemed she was interested in these mystery beings.

"Well, I can't say we have spoken long enough to make any major opinions. They have tend to wandered off as soon as they got here. Such is the way it goes, unfortunately."

"Might I ask what sort of people they were? Those that you met?"

"Quite a few times actually. It was new to me about a year ago but I have adjusted well I'd like to think."

"Huh? You mean to tell me that you've seen people like me before???"

𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘵 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘯 @bransonranch.bsky.social · Feb 7

"You aren't the first I've seen that had those kinds of features."

He'd shrug.

"I doubt you'll be the last. Besides, it isn't like it changes much."

"You don't seem bothered by all the...."

She gestured towards herself. The horns, hooves, all of it. He had happened to see her without the glamour and showed now reaction.

𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘵 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘯 @bransonranch.bsky.social · Feb 7

"Go on. Ask whatever you'd like."

There was a pause in her movements. A glance thrown his way.

"Could I ask you a question?"

𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘵 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘯 @bransonranch.bsky.social · Feb 5

He was glad that she seemed comfortable for the most part.

It was unusual dealing with a new guest in the house. But he was trying to adapt. It was better than silence but he did still feel quite awkward about it.

"A saint? No. But maybe a bit empathetic."

Camellia @usagimcnhera.bsky.social · Feb 7

"Hm....why are you being so nice to me? You some kind of saint or something?"

𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘵 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘯 @bransonranch.bsky.social · Jan 21

"Hmm... well, I suppose we are going to need to get you some new things tomorrow."

First thing was first, preheating the oven then setting out the dry ingredients and mixing them together first. Low hums could be heard from her as she worked, an ever present smile on her lips.

𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘵 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘯 @bransonranch.bsky.social · Feb 5

He would give a small nod and show her where she could find each of the ingredients that she may need.

For now he just wanted to let her get comfortable in the kitchen before they moved forward.

"You can go ahead and start. I'll do some prep for my own in the background."

"It's going to be the best thing you've ever tasted, trust me."

She started to look around the kitchen for the necessary ingredients. Hums could be heard from her as she looked around.

𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘵 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘯 @bransonranch.bsky.social · Feb 2

He was shocked at how drastically her mood shifted at the thought of making food.

"Well with praise that high I can't help but want to have you make some."

She visibly perked up, amethyst eyes practically shining in excitement.

"Honey cakes! They taste heavenly, especially after a long hard day or if you need a pick me up."

As the spoke that goat tail of hers couldn't help but wiggle in excitement.

"Well are there any certain meals you tend to lean towards when it comes to celebrating somethin'?"

She knew that look quite well. It was one that told her that it was time to pivot to another topic.

“So, I’m guessing I’ll just be assisting in this endeavor. Is there anything you’d like me to start with first?”

𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘵 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘯 @bransonranch.bsky.social · Feb 1

"For a time. But we all grow up differently."

He gave a weak smile as if he was trying to scrounge up positive in a mostly negative memory.

"It truly does sound like you had a very warm family."

His memory brought a smile to her lips.

"Oh yeah, my family used to make really big meals so they needed the room to get everything ready. The table used to be overflowing with people after all."

𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘵 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘯 @bransonranch.bsky.social · Jan 26

"Alright! Well, let's get into it shall we?"

Once they were inside they immediately began to head to the kitchen.

If he fired people for every simple mistake no one would last more than a week in this line of work.

Vasiliki @melodichooves.bsky.social · Feb 1

She isn't fired? She had half expected it.

𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘵 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘯 @bransonranch.bsky.social · Jan 30

Well, she will learn eventually he's sure. Needs to watch her step around new places after all.

"I was just restin' my eyes. I won't sleepin I swear."

"Of course, we can worry about it after the festivities."

𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘵 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘯 @bransonranch.bsky.social · Jan 26

"Well, I suppose I would be foolish to say no. Though I will urge to leave that for another time after our little celebration."

"Well, given your circumstances I feel an urge to offer a helping hand. If you need it, that is."

𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘵 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘯 @bransonranch.bsky.social · Jan 26

"I certainly wouldn't be opposed. Though I feel like that's a lot to offer without knowing me well."

If she were to speak of one guilty pleasure of hers. It would be dancing beneath the moonlight. There's a certain magic to be found in the quiet night.

"Were you the only one who stayed or is there part of your family present on the ranch?"

𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘵 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘯 @bransonranch.bsky.social · Jan 25

"Well our family has owned the land for quite some time. Almost all of us worked the land for generations but there was a pretty nasty split during my lifetime. Most left to do other things and things had to cut back quite a bit."

"Yes, though it was up and down as my relationship with my family was rocky to say the least."
