“you so totally did!” Tony whined before beaming happily at the promise that he didn’t have to go on one of the terrifying animals. Tony watched Johnny head for the door and opened his mouth to protest being left alone with the dishes before he paused, glanced at Stephanie and then wilted into his chair with a sigh. Honestly this vacation was more for her so if he had to do the dishes alone so she could go be outdoorsy with her boyfriend he supposed he could be okay with that. Bucky looked quite impressed with Tony’s decision but George was already cramming the leftovers into his mouth to finish off the table and was humming some weird tune as he started to rise off the dishes, so Bucky left the dishwashing to Tony and George. “Come on Steph.” Bucky said as he grabbed her arm and led her away, leaving Tony to help George. It was good for him to learn how to do that kind of thing.<br/><br/>“it’s alright.” Bucky promised her as he held his flesh hand out to the horses. He’d ridden them before, his family had been quite well to do and his mother had adored trail riding. “Clint will get you a good first horse.” he promised. “he knows which horses are good for beginners.” he promised with a smile. “you trust him, right?” he smiled at her as he stroked one of the horses noses. “they’re very gentle souls.”
