"nice to meet you" John smiled he wanted to ask if Will wanted to ride with him, but to scared to ask, he didn't know this guy and he didn't want things to be weird between them so he just settled 'nice to meet you'. He unpacked, took his bag and headed to the stables, ne never much liked people really, or they never really liked him he was such a shy person making friends was never easy, even now. He met Romeo at the stables "hey boy" he said quietly, Romeo was definitely happy to see him and gave him a kiss with a mouth full of haylage "alright" John laughed. He opened the door and sat down in the corner of his stable, went in his bag pulled out a sandwich which he only got half of and his favourite book, war horse, which was of course battered and covered in haylage in a matter of seconds. It had a very noticeable bite missing from the top corner of the book where John would have to put in the words himself, although he knew this book back to back and could probably re-write it with his eyes closed.
30 Mins in and Romeo got tired he lay down next to John, he was a big dog at heart, and put his head on Johns lap, he softly read the rest of the book to him as he stroked his forelock.
