*She winces slightly and takes his uncleched hand in hers briefly, holding on tightly, then lets go to take the stallion's reins. Murmuring softly, she attempts to coax the stallion up, with as little injury to Jake as possible* Jake... do you think you can roll out of the way as soon as he starts to stand? *She takes her eyes away from the horse for a brief moment to glance at him, almost wishing she hadn't, she hated to see him in this much pain* Marie 17:21:45 03/23/01 Fri

~*~He shakes his head lightly* "I don't think so.....But i think i can go right on up with him......" ~*~He sighs lightly, the pain was now only a vauge sense of something that was, he wouldn't doubt it if he his foot was blue with the weight of the horse to hinder circulation, he tightly secured his fingers under the saddle, slipping his other foot from the sturrup, and moving it so he could lay across the saddle when the horse rose~*~ -- Jake, 17:30:34 03/23/01 Fri

*She nods, face withdrawn and remote. She continues coaxing the stallion, checking to make sure Jake was ready, then tugs lightly at the reins of the stallion, stepping back, keeping up her steady stream of words, to comfort the horse as much as her* -- Marie, 17:35:31 03/23/01 Fri

~*~The stallion Jerks his head back at the sharp bite of the gag and the pinch of the wire, scrambling to his feet, Jake swings his other leg down as the horse steadys himself, letting out a sigh, then wincing as feeling renews itself, a horrable pain that spoke of fractures~*~ -- Jake, 17:46:06 03/23/01 Fri

*She shifts her grip on the reins, changing her grip to close to the horse's mouth to hold his head still. She clucks loudly, tugging on the reins lightly, moving the stallion slowly to the large log. She glances up at Jake, eyes deeply troubled* Do you think you can slide off? -- Marie, 17:55:10 03/23/01 Fri

~*~He bites his lip in concentration, slowly moving his hands to tightly grasp the horn and back of the saddle, he lets himself slide down, leaning on his good leg and seting himself on the log, careful not to move his other leg much~*~ -- Jake, 17:56:57 03/23/01 Fri

*She moves the stallion a few feet away, then hurries back to Jake, crouching down axiously beside him, eyes wide with concern and worry, she somewhat hovers there, unsure of what to do, her usual composure and cool head leaving her for the moment* -- Marie, 18:03:03 03/23/01 Fri

~*~He winces and slowly straightens his leg out, then looks to her with a soft smile~*~ "Relax.....there is nothing you can do right now.....chill out.....i'm fine" ~*~He manages a small smile, resting his hands on his thighs~*~ -- Jake, 13:46:46 03/25/01 Sun

*~~~> -- Marie, 15:26:28 03/25/01 Sun

~*~He returns her smile and brushes the hair delicatly from her face, having pushed the pain into the back of his mind, his eyes remain in hers, a small crooked grin rests on his lips, he hooks her hair behind her ear and leans over, placing a soft kiss on her cheek, not feeling the need for words, he was never good with them anyway, he didn't nead to botch this moment up with thim, his eyes show no sign of pain, only a soft gentleness~*~ -- Jake Jones Hunter Lee (i like that name), 15:13:31 03/27/01 Tue

*She looks up at his words, wondering, a small hint of softness edging in. She places her hand lightly on his arm, looking with intence eyes at his pale face, wondering, voice nearly as soft as his* Jake? What is it? *Never having bothered much with law and lawsuits -having left that to her mother- she's not entirerly sure was he was talking about. Or that's what she told herself; in a seperate part she knew exactly what he meant, just wasn't willing to consider it* -- Marie, 13:49:50 03/29/01 Thu

~*~he shakes his head~*~ "I'm being sued for something that happened last winter.......I was suppoed to meet my dad to talk about the siuts nearly fifteen minutes ago...." -- Jake, 14:05:30 03/29/01 Thu

*She raises her head, alarmed* Sued? That's awful... *The saddened look returns about her for a moment at his later words, then she sighs softly* Well, guess we'd better leave then... *She doesn't make a move to stand, unwilling. She had been so close... but it was too late now. She gives him a slightly rueful look* Any idea on how you're going to get there with your leg bust like that? -- Marie, 14:29:52 03/29/01 Thu

~*~He sighs lightly and shurgs* "I don't think i'm going anywhere fast.....can't ride out....." *He looks back over the trail they covered and sighs~*~ -- Jake, 14:33:55 03/29/01 Thu

*Sighs and turns her head to look down the path morosly, then casts her gaze around. She spots a rather large trail cutting off from the path they were on, probably from a roundup. She makes a slight face, muttering under her breath* That would be useful... if we had a truck. *She slumps her shoulders slightly, then stops for a few moments. She turns her head to glance at Jake* Jake? Don't you have a truck? -- Marie, 14:55:49 03/29/01 Thu
