Log:

[There was no denying that the last few weeks had been hectic. Between what happened in Goldenrod and then the scramble to get out of the city, there hadn't been any time to do much of anything besides catch their breath. Adding house repairs to that and Lightning had barely been able to get this to go right.

But she'd managed. She'd managed and everything was set, right down to the small cake waiting in the fridge until dinner had passed. And no, she hadn't tried to cook dinner herself. She'd ordered takeout.]

Hope? Can you come here a minute?

[Here being the kitchen, but there was something else she had in mind. Hopefully he hadn't yet spotted the gift wandering about outside.]

Better them than Oerba, honestly. Oerba may have the energy and stamina, but she doesn't have the speed or attention span. [Uhm. Yeah.]

Nora and Oracle at least can keep him busy and out of trouble.

[Hopeon though is just purring-- well, laughing at Odin, really. Because he's so whipped.]

[A nod, then:] Until he evolves, anyway. I don't think Nora could keep up with a Rapidash if he hasn't outgrown the running. Oracle would stand the better chance then.

[If only by virtue of being bigger and less likely to get stepped on. Because if Sleipnir is anything like his parents and that Benny Hill chase last week...sticking a Flareon in there is bad news.

Also Hopeon is getting a pout. Well. As much as a horse can pout, anyway. Just you wait till you get a mate, Hopeon! Then they'll see who's whipped!]

[Covers Sleipnir's ears in case he hears something he doesn't like and somehow manages to sabotage Hope's plans for the future.]

Hopefully by then I've have taught him not to go running off on his own.

[She smiles faintly at the idea that Hope can keep Slepnir from hearing with that kind of pose, but Lightning makes a noise of agreement anyway.]

Let me know if you need any help with that. [A glance at Odin, who tosses his head.] I've had some experience with running horses.
