“Oi .. get up Steven, you lazy bum! You’’ve been napping for the past two hours! Shouldn’t you be mucking out or something? Or atleast get Casanova ready for the next Champions leage. You did want to take that dragon with you right?”
“.. oomhp crap 2 hours?” Steven sighed heavily as he dragged himself from the couch and sat up, holding his head “Sorry bossman, I got the worst headache. I’ll take some aspirin and be on my way.”
Wesley frowned and rubbed his brow, he knew Steven used that excuse quite often when he was late or messed something up, but this time it looked like he was telling the truth.
“No no .. Steven, wait a minute let’s talk a bit. You haven’t been totally yourself since you got back from the Champions League. Maybe you need to take a bit of a break?”
“What? Nah I feel fine! It’s just a headache, it’ll pass soon enough.” Steven got up and walked, or better yet, stumbled towards the kitchen to get some water and drugs.
“Nope you need to take a break, clearly.” Ordered Wesley “I’m not just talking about the headache. You have been absent and unfocussed ever since you came back a month ago. Something is clearly brewing in that noggin of yours. Now I don’t know if it’s just exhaustion or nerves for the next season or whatever, but you need to figure out! You can’t go into the League like this.”
“Pff what? I’m fine! Casanova is just a handful that’s all!”
Wesley, clearly not buying it, got frustrated and gave up mediating. “I don’t know what’s up with you but you keep making stupid mistakes as if it’s your first time on the yard! You need a break and since you don’t do it yourself, I organised a fun little trip for you, and you’ll be joined by … your new horse! .. Well no actually, it’s my new horse but you can borrow it for this trip.”
“You … want me to go somewhere .. on one of your new dressage wimps? No offence but i’d rather not. That’s only going to make me more stressed”
“WHIMPS!?” Wesley puffed up his chest but managed to maintain his composure. “Just shut it and let’s have a look, he just arrived an hour ago while you were sleeping on the couch. I'll go get him."
Steven got dragged out of the house with a hand on his head still. Wesley was walking briskly infront of him and went around the corner of the house. Steven not caught up yet, heard heavy footfalls coming from around the corner.
“What the hell .. that’s not a light one” He mumbled to himself when hearing the sound of hooves coming closer.
“Steven!” Wesley presented proudly “Meet Archimedes, or Archi for short. He’ll be joining you on a hunt on the Hargrave estate this weekend! Isn’t he fun!?”
“... What the fuck”
