 You can't spend your entire vacation in your villa! Well, you can. But maybe go exploring--even if it's just to spot Bonnie the goat wandering the grounds and demanding raisins.

It had been definitively been a very nice kiss and one that Guillermo would be replaying quite a bit, still not quite believing that it had happened not once but twice now.

“I didn’t go on the excursion yesterday,” Guillermo admitted, “I spent most of it at the beach, which was nice but I wanted to try something different,”

He smiled as he looked around, “this is really nice though, I’m also really looking forward to seeing what the waterfall will be like,” he added and then there was a pause, “and I’m glad we will be able to see it together,” he said shyly.

"Mmmm, I should spend a little time just enjoying the beach, too," Graham said, sighing a little wistfully, grinning big as he closed his eyes and pictured it. "But it's so hard to just be able to stay still when we could be out having adventures, you know? Especially together! I bet this waterfall is going to be amaaaazing!"

“There’s so many things to do aren’t there?” Guillermo smiled, “I don’t know how I’m going to fit everything in for the rest of the week but it’s nice being able to go out and explore,”

"Don't tell Triumph," said Graham, chuckling a little, and maybe leaning in a little more toward Guillermo, to really give that jokingly secretive nature a bit more credence, "but I went horseback riding last night, too. That was pretty great! And it's only the second day! There's still plenty more time to get in all sorts of other things!"

Guillermo was trying not to look to eager for the chance to be even closer to Graham as he leaned in when Graham did to hear his secret when he leaned in.

“You’re secret’s safe with me,” Guillermo assured him with a smile, “oh the horseback riding sounds nice, I’m sorry I missed that,” he paused, “I’ve never been horseback riding before,” he admitted.

"Ah, but you have been Triumph-back riding before!" Graham pointed out, looking rather pleased and proud of that fact. "Remember? When we went out exploring in the woods, so I could show you his favorite rock?"

Re: Blue Waterfall Trek [all day]

[guillermothegreat]

Guillermo beamed at that, “I have, haven’t I? I really enjoyed that day, I …I liked spending time with you and Triumph and getting to see his favourite rock,” he went a little redder at that.

Re: Blue Waterfall Trek [all day]

"It is a pretty great rock," Graham noted, fondly, but, before he started to make himself feel a little sad for missing his best friend right mow, he quickly added, "But, hey! I bet there will be other chances for horseback riding, this week. Maybe we can go do it together!"

Re: Blue Waterfall Trek [all day]

[guillermothegreat]

“I …I would really like that,” Guillermo said, ducking his head a little, “I …if we have the chance to, …I would love to go horseback riding with you Graham,” he said a little shyly.

Re: Blue Waterfall Trek [all day]

[pun_king]

"Maybe tomorrow night?" Graham suggested. "We can see about maybe going horseback riding together....unless there's something else really neat going on, but zounds, it'll have to be pretty good to beat horseback riding!"

Re: Blue Waterfall Trek [all day]

[guillermothegreat]

“Tomorrow night sounds perfect then,, if there’s no last minute events to go to,” Guillermo’s smile widened, “it really would have to be an incredible event, to top horseback riding,” he agreed.

Re: Blue Waterfall Trek [all day]

[pun_king]

"Then it's a date!" said Graham, eagerly, and meaning it exhuberantly and intentionally in every sense of the word. "...maybe. We'll just have to wait and see what tomorrow may bring!"

Re: Blue Waterfall Trek [all day]

[guillermothegreat]

Guillermo smiled, thrilled at the mention of the word date, especially when Graham didn't seem to backtrack it to not mean an actual date, "I'm looking forward to it," he said enthusiastically, especially if it meant he would get to spend even more time with Graham.

Re: Blue Waterfall Trek [all day]

[pun_king]

"I am, too," Graham said, smiling happily at Guillermo. "It's going to be so much fun! You won't believe how tall and high up they are!"

Well, compares to Triumph, anyway.

Re: Blue Waterfall Trek [all day]

[guillermothegreat]

“Are they easy to mount?” Guillermo asked, trying not to feel nervous about the idea that he could make a fool of himself in front of Graham if he struggled to even get on the horse.

He hadn’t even thought of what it would be like trying to get on a horse.

Re: Blue Waterfall Trek [all day]

[pun_king]

"Oh, I didn't have any trouble with them," Graham said, reassuringly.

"Althooooough," he added, a bit less so, "I am pretty used to mounting and dismounting, thanks to Triumph. But I'm sure you'll get the hang of it, too, Guillero, no problem!"

Re: Blue Waterfall Trek [all day]

[guillermothegreat]

Guillermo nodded, feeling a little reassured at that, “I suppose I won’t know until I try right?” he said, “maybe I’ll be really good at horseback riding?”

He didn’t think he would be but it was nicer thinking about that than the idea of falling off a horse.
