To say she was excited was an understatement, though she made some sort of attempt at controlling herself. It worried her a bit that Gavin's reaction to a hug wasn't to return it, but rather to walk away. What could she think of that really except that he wasn't a touchy feely type of guy? She bounded after him, cutting through their shared bathroom once more and leaning on the doorjam between the bathroom and his room. Just thinking about tending to the animals got her into a giggly happy mood, so she was trying her hardest to keep a cool head. How long had she dreamed to touching the horses, of meeting them and taking care of them?<br/><br/>She followed him through the kitchen, finding it hard to keep up with him, but she did so, knowing the horses and dogs awaited. What she would have given a year ago to be here, working with her brother and the animals.. As they stepped into the stables and Gavin went on about breeds and spoke about the various mares and studs, Etania was in a haze. She stood near the stall across from Tonto's and smiled back at Gavin. She saw the tinge of red on his cheeks as he spoke of "easing" the studs and reaping the profits from that. She herself blushed, not exactly knowing what went into it, but she'd heard things. Instead of satisfying her curiosity on that particular point, Eta took another step closer to the smaller Clydesdale.<br/><br/>"Do you mind.. if I pet him.. or should I go for a less fiesty one?" She flashed a smile, blushing a bit herself, though hers was much easier to detect, her much lighter skin flushed easily and she half turned her face away to look at the horses again. She couldn't imagine how anyone couldn't see the beauty of these majestic beasts and she longed to be near them.. but more, she found herself drawn to her brother. It frightened her a bit how she wanted to be near him, and she told herself that it was simply a sibling attraction, making up for time lost and simply wanting to get to know each other. Eta infact would be the first to admit she'd shied away from relationships in general, she'd barely had a first kiss, let alone anything else.. so she'd be the last to understand the different types of attraction one could feel.
