[IC] A Whole New World

[KatherinWinter]

"Yes. I am up." Zack called from his room. He had woken late that morning. He dressed and made his way down to breakfast. He was glad that the meeting was today. He needed something to keep his mind busy. "What time is the meeting?" He wondered how long the meeting would last.

[Soul Hunter]

She made them both some toast and handed him his before sitting at the table "In a few hours at around noon" she said to him "Not sure how long it will be though" she said yawning still as she took a bite from her toast and sipped her drink as well.

[KatherinWinter]

"Is there anything else I need to know? Rules that I should be aware of for the meeting?" Zack asked as he eat the toast. He wanted to work on the statue of Wisps after breakfast. So his body and mind were calm and he hoped to keep them that way atleast until after the meeting. He didn't want to embarrass her by not being able to focus.

[Soul Hunter]

"Well you need to dress in something other than sleeping clothes for one, and apart from that no really but you also need to be polite although that's not a problem for you" she said to him smiling a little. "You'll do fine so don't worry Zack" she smiled at him happily.

[KatherinWinter]

"Worrying keeps my mind occupied." Zack explained. He finished his meal before heading to the shower. He stood under the cold water hoping would help him. He scrubbed his hair and body. Once he was clean Zack dried himself. When he was dry he went and got clean clothes.

[Soul Hunter]

Once it was time for the interview she brought downy he statues he made and showed them where they'd be speaking before checking on Zack "You ready?" she asked him before she let the two clients sit down and examine the statues but also made it clear that those particular statues were not for sale.

(Something has come up and dinner)

[KatherinWinter]

"I think so." Zack cleared his throat nervously. He took a deep breath before making his way to the living room where she had set up the gentlemen. He shifted nervously. He took a seat. He answered their questions in a quite but confident voice.

[Soul Hunter]

Keita smiled and after it was over they' both put in commissions for him so he already had some work and was offered quite a bit of money if they liked the statues. Keita came over once they'd left and hugged him but stopped remembering it caused him pain "That was excellent Zack and you even got some jobs too" she smiled and looked to him happily.

[KatherinWinter]

Zack smiled at her happily. "Yes it went very well. I am glad that the requested statues." He was relieved that they hadn't seemed to notice anything out of the ordinary. But now he nothing to focus his thoughts on. "It's wonderful to know that I will be able to contribute. Thank you for setting that up."

[Soul Hunter]

"It wasn't a problem" she smiled and really did want to hug him still but again remember how much it'd hurt him last night. "Be sure to take your time they've not given you a time limit but you also don't want to take too long ok?" she although was pretty sure he knew this.

[KatherinWinter]

"What would be too long?" Zack asked curiously. He wasn't too worried they had requested small statues. "I should have your statue of Wisps done in a day or two depending on how much time I devote to it. I figure I should be able to complete their request in an week or so as long as nothing comes up."

[Soul Hunter]

"If it's gets to over a month then that's too long but then I doubt that'll happen with you as long as you ensure you don't take on too many projects at once, limit it to one or two projects ok?" she said to him smiling and pecked his cheek gently. "and that'll be nice I can't wait to see it" she smiled at him.

[KatherinWinter]

"That makes sense." Zack agreed. He could understand the need to be careful how much he took on at once. He would have to be careful not to over extend himself. He didn't want to disappoint anyone. "What shall we do for the rest of the day?"

[Soul Hunter]

"Want to go see Wisp, I'm sure she'd love to see you again" she smiled at him "Plus I'm starting to get her used to the tack she'll be wearing in a few months time when I start to train her" she said "She's a quick learner although really doesn't like the look of the tack at the moment so had to get Storm to show her it's ok"

[KatherinWinter]

"I am sorry that she doesn't like the tack. I am sure with time and care she will adjust to it." Zack stood. He thought getting out of the time of the house was a wonderful idea. Maybe watching her interact with the foal would keep him mind occupied for awhile. "Let's go visit her."

[Soul Hunter]

"It can take ages to get a horse used to tack so don't worry But i'll have to get some tack made specifically for her once she's fully grown since it needs to fit the horse correctly so it's as comfortable as possible" she explained "But getting her used to Storms tack is easier since it has his scent on it" she explained as she walked there with him and whistled catching Wisps attention the foal hurried over clumsily and nipped them both whinnying loudly and playfully.

[KatherinWinter]

"Hello little one." Zack greeted the foal. He rubbed Wisps ears the way Kieta had showed him. He studied the foal. He planned to use this time to get a better feel for the foal's personality. He watched Wisps play with Kieta and Storm. He watched carefully hoping to learn everything he could.

[Soul Hunter]

Wisp turned out to be a rather lively cheeky filly that enjoyed playing games she would run around and investigate everything as well. The tack was on the gate and rested there, occasionally she'd go over and investigate it before snorting and then running around.

[KatherinWinter]

Zack chuckled as he watched the foal running around. Watching her play took his mind off the desires that filled his body. He was able to relax and enjoy their time together. He slowly drifted closer to her. Before long he was standing next to her.

[Soul Hunter]

Smiling when she noticed him standing next to her she brushed her hand against his lightly before going to play with the foal and encouraged him to come join her.
