[dishearten]

CHARACTERS: Graham and Chihiro
DATE: IDK!!! :D
WARNINGS: im guessing not much in particular?
SUMMARY: Chihiro wants riding lessons. you can still give those with a hole in your chest, right?

...right?

( it's been a few days since the showdown in the ghost-town. while Graham has since been sutured and stitched more or less back into place, he's a great deal slower than he used to be. unsurprisingly, when he had a hole punched through his chest. the bandages are hidden underneath the clean plaid and orderly cut of his vest, but the fact he's seated when Chihiro arrives for their next lesson is likely already an indication he's not quite himself.

he manages a slight smile when she enters all the same, though. this is not their first lesson, and not even an injury seemed a good reason to miss the next. the horse he has on rental is already ready and waiting next to him, roaming about mildly as far as the lead would allow. she's lacking her saddle, though, which was a good hint of where their lesson was likely to start. )

Ready to start? ( he probably could warn her about his injury, but it doesn't seem relevant to start. the wolf that hasn't left his side since he returned injured whines lowly from the pile of hay he's burrowed in. ) Don't mind him, he's been on that all day. ( yup, whining that his stupid human won't go lay down and take a nap. that wolf brother, what a pain! )
