<div class="floatleft">(http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh605/JennyFive69/Nicholas_zps4294728d.jpg)</div>For a long moment Nicholas just watched her crimson cheeks, and imagined that his silent awkwardness near the other stallions had nothing on how shy and lost Haley would seem. He had seen Roman taking a last look at them before approaching Dominic so both would work togheter on the same area, before his attentions were completely on the farmer's daughter. And he turned, noticing how she had just been about to touch him. Nicholas would not mind at all. The horse was curious, after all.<br/><br/>Perhaps she would compare him to one of the other horses she knew - the stablehands, perhaps? He couldn't really know.<strong>"Oh?"</strong>He mumbled suddenly, noticing that she was speaking to him. And more. That she was asking him for some time alone with her. A time where they could bond. When anything could really happend. His blood started to pulsate faster, his heart pumping harder.<strong>"Yes!</strong>" He smiled sincerely.<strong>"Y-Yes please. I mean, sure, of course."</strong>She had never seen Nicholas so happy.<strong>"I sure love swimming. You mean... at the Hanson's Brook?"</strong>It had that name since it came this way from the Hanson's farm nearby.<br/><br/>His hand waved towards where he thought the river was.<strong>"...I.. sure. Do you wanna go there togheter? ...Or should I find you there?"</strong>
