A flock of birds bursted from the trees, wings flapping loudly as they fled into the sky. The horses that were already turned out to pasture all shot up or ran from the very loud yell that just came from the stable isle..well, all except for one. Who was pretty much used to most of these people's antics by now.
" HE DID WHAT !!??? "
Honestly, if a voice could burst or break this felt like a point Annette's voice had snapped in half. It was so loud and sharp as she yelled in disbelieve at the young couple standing in front of her. Kaira looking at her timidly as she was much quieter than usual, she had almost crawled in Con at this point. Telling this to even more people was extremely tough, her ego simply not wanting to. But she had to, and she was seeking for every bit of comfort she could get from him beside her; which he of course provided. An arm wrapped firmly around her, stroking her gently when he felt her shake a little.
" OOHHH that feckin' pathetic sad sack of shite ! Just as I thought he couldn't get any worse.. How feckin' dare he ! Scum !!"
She continued like that for a while, the couple sharing a glance oh so quickly as they cracked a little smile. Letting go just a bit of tension there, they always quite saw Annette's rants as rather humorous, however the subject this time was not. So it was only for a brief moment.
" Annette.. please keep it down a little, I don't want the whole village to know. "
Kaira said with a slight weak smile, jesting at the volume a little. True the stable was nowhere near the village..nor were there any pension clients or kids and parents yet for it was 7:30 in the morning..but still. Rather not risk it.
Annette's eyes softened a little, stepping closer as she put a hand on her cheek. And after a good year of absolutely no body contact between them that hit her like a sledgehammer. Her eyes tearing up a little..another topic to discus later.. but for now she accepted the comforting gesture.
" Are you oke lass ? I am so sorry that it happened. "
Annette's voice sounded much softer now, like that motherly tone most were used to outside her little rants. Kaira softly nodded, not really speaking cause she didn't want to turn into a sobbing mess once more, tears were for the weak..or so she believed, a bit of a left over from her past.
"I will take care of this, at once. Can I trust you two to finish up here ? "
And just like that she had grabbed her phone already, leaving and calling at once when Gideon confirmed it wouldn’t be a problem to take over. If Kaira heard correctly she was requesting a meeting. Nervously she looked at Con, still doubting whether this was the right choice now that the consequences were so close for Sjoerd.
