[Linda is sitting on a bench in the garden when she activates the feed. she's dressed casually in a coat and jeans, though her right hand visibly has a bandage around it. she looks tired, and she's obviously fallen in some mud at some point today as well]

Anybody else having trouble learning to ride their animals? [there's weariness in her tone. but a thought occurs to her then, and she adds:] Are many people going to be in the race? I know it's optional.

[while the mud is a result of her rocky attempts to learn to ride a "yoshi," her burned hand isn't. it's been a busy day, starting with testing forcefields with Agent K to try to find one like the dome followed by her riding session on the farm. needless to say, relaxing for a bit chatting with friends strikes her as a good way to end an exhausting day]

Me. I am having trouble.

[And he is riding in it. Hooray.]

You look pretty tired.

[impossibilities]

I have never been a very good rider, myself. I do not know why I am even doing this.

[How she got pulled into the race herself, she's still investigating, but Grainne's falls were far more messy than painful.]

How are you doing, Linda?

[folkscallmewander]

You feelin' alright, Miss? [She obviously looks like she had a bit of trouble taming her animal, and he can't help but worry that bandaged hand was a result of that as well.]

I can give you some pointers if you need help. I'm also in the race, but I already have all this experience, it'd only be fair.

Not having trouble because I'm not trying.

[truth_is_the_enemy]

I haven't managed to even get on mine yet. I just chased it around the paddock for an hour and a half and gave up.

From the look of you, I'm probably lucky. If I can't get on its back it can't throw me. Although at this point my part in the race is starting to look more like it's going to be a foot race marathon with a companion ungulate I can't actually ride on.

I got volunteered. Thought I'd try it out, but... yeah. Not sure I'll get very far.

[Which is fine with Boone, really. He's not trying to win, he just figured he might as well give it a shot.]
