New York trip, continued to be really in NY

[hawkeyekate]

The plane ride was easier back into the States was easier than the one over to England, though jet lag was beginning to set in as they flew up near where the cabin was. The horses were in the stable already, but they were driven up since there were more luggage to deal with this time for the longer stay.

Once the car left, and they were inside the place, Kate yawned, and hugged Will.

"Feel like anything? A nap?"

"Aye, I know. Milliways 'as shown me, been tryin' to learn just get surprised is all at times. What shall we do today?"

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"Well, sure, and you've been getting culture shock left and right lately."

She picked up her dishes and went to the sink to wash them.

"Maybe a ride and a swim? There's some small ponds and lakes we can go to."

[will_scarlett]

"That'd be nice, could wear our suits under out clothin' an all, bring a picnic too. Doin' me best to na tumble too much though, dinna wish to disappoint ye."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"You won't disappoint me. Stop worrying. That's an order."

[will_scarlett]

Now he laughs and kisses her as he helps her with the dishes,

"Can get the 'orses ready for us then."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"Good idea. I'll meet you out there after I change."

She kissed him briefly, and then headed to the bedroom to get her bikini on and underneath some regular clothes.

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye, need to do that too."

It doesn't take him too long to change and he grins at her as she changes before heading out to the horses along with two carrots he snagged from the kitchen.

She finished up packing some things in a tote for them. And got together something light for a picnic. Fruit, breads and cheeses with grape juice.

[will_scarlett]

Outside he's found the horses and they're lovely and soon he's got them saddled up and lead them around to the front of the house.

Kate came out with the bags to load up carefully on the horses. Making sure the weight was even so as to not strain them.

She petted the horse for a moment before mounting up to ride.

"All ready? We're heading southeast to the place."

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, love."

He's up in a moment and just grins,

"Like this place, feel can 'ave some peace 'ere."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"Good, kind of the point for coming here. Something familiar and nice."

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye, this trail then?"

He follows a trail through the woods and when they reach a meadow and grins at her,

"Race ye to the trees."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"Will, we don't want to lose the food or towels. Can race on the way back or something."

[will_scarlett]

"They willna fall off that easy, love, saw 'ow ye tied 'em."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"Don't want it to bother the horses either."

[will_scarlett]

"Will wait then."

He does move to a trot since that's a bit faster and relaxes, he's not as comfortable on a horse perhaps as some but he knows how to ride.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

They wouldn't have that far to trot. Maybe a 20 minute ride to where there was a quiet lake, not much bigger than a pond. There was a small sandy beach to enter the water.

"Here we are."

[will_scarlett]

"Tis quite pretty."

He dismounts and offers her a hand.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

Kate hopped down carefully, and started to unload the bags from the horses.

"It is, quiet around here too."

[will_scarlett]

Will searches and finds a blanket that he lays on the ground as he finds the towels,

"Go for a swim an then eat?"

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"Mm-hmm, be good to work up an appetite." She got out more supplies. There was some shade under the trees, but it was sunny where they are so she fetched out the suntan lotion.

"Hang on, sun's warmer now then in your day, and you'll like this part. We'll need this." She started to switch out of her clothes to reveal her bikini underneath.

[will_scarlett]

He watches her with a smile as he pulls off his shirt and jeans to reveal the simple trunks,

"Oh aye, what's that stuff?"

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

She paused to admire the view, and then blinked. "...Huh? Oh right, it's suntan lotion. Keep you from getting sunburn."

And with both of them having pale skin, it'll be useful.

[will_scarlett]

"Sunburn, oh aye, that's ne'er good. 'ow does it aid ye?"

He comes over and kisses her, on her neck.
