"The refuge, in Harlem. I get waived of stable fees that way." he said matter of factly glancing up at her for a second. "Gettin' in without a sentence is a little tricky though." He hesitated, not normally this bold, but what the hell. "It might be wiser to drop 'em off with me..."

"I could do that," Drama said, meeting his gaze. She was still sitting astride the horse and wished she could see his eyes better. Leaning forward in the saddle slightly so she was closer to him she said, "And where can I find you?"

Golly stopped so he could face her. He leaned against Vanora and brushed her mane with his fingers. He smile slightly, trying not to look to excited about her asking. "Harlem as well. A large complex round the corner from the refuge actually...I can't be too far from my girl." He patted the horses neck finally giving into a full smile.

"I'll find you then," Drama promised, filing the information away. She sat back up in the saddle, watching the people going by on the street beside them as Golly continued to walk Vanora along. Long moments passed before she spoke again, "You should do that more, you know...smile. It looks right good on you, Golly McLean."

The smile immediately slipped from his face. His attention was turned to Vanora, and he was back to his slight frown. He was an odd sort - self-conscience, awkward, and slightly depressed. Finally he glanced back up at her. "Maybe I would, if there was more to smile about.." he said in his characteristic melancholy way.
He took a deep breath and veered the subject away from himself. “You ready to come down from there?”

Drama watched his features carefully, frowning when the smile she had just been commenting on left his face. "We all have those dark corners of our life that aren't pretty to the rest of the world," Drama said, softly, not even sure he could hear her. "I understand that, but sometimes all it takes is a little bit of sunshine to change your fortune." Where had that come from? Drama shook her head, she had no idea when she had become so...optimisitc. It wasn't in her nature, but she knew she didn't like seeing Golly upset and she wanted him to know...she understood.
"I've been ready," She said when he asked if she wanted down.

"Mmm sunshine...” Golly said glancing up at the dismal winter sky, "maybe when spring comes I'll give you a few more smiles.” The tiniest smile he could produce pulled at his mouth for no other reason than to please her. He held a hand up to her and kept the other one wrapped tightly around the bridal to steady the horse. "Use the stirrup like a ladder, reverse oh how you got up there," he instructed "don't worry I got her so there won't be anymore tricks" Vanora horse-grunted in agreement, or maybe protest.

"Can't wait for spring then," Drama commented, smiling down at him. She listened to his instructions and then reached down and took his hand, climbing down off the horse and then turning to look up at him. She didn't release her grasp on his hand and though she knew it made him uncomfortable, she reached her other hand to set on his arm. "I had a lot of fun Golly. Thank you."

Golly stared at the hand that just landed on his forearm. He had loosened his grip on her hand for a moment only to increase it again when he found she wasn't letting go. He wrinkled his nose - his palm was getting clammy, great. Finding her eyes, he gave her a shrug, trying to look indifferent to the situation. "Glad you got over your fear of horses, Drama." He started to lead both his girls closer to the theater, trying his hardest to walk without the limp. "I'll take you back to Caprice - you should be goin' on stage soon right?"

"I did. You and Vanora took care of that," Drama replied with a smile, finally releasing his hand. She nodded a little when he mentioned performing, "I've got time." She frowned a little bit, seeing the slight limp in his step and now down on his level she could see the mud on his pants. "Are you sure you're alright Golly?"

"Glad we could still be useful our days off" Golly patted Vanora's shoulder and readjusted so he was holding the reins rather than the bridle. Looking at his muddy leg he hummed in the affirmative. "I've had worse falls than that, lass" He gave her a small smile grateful that she seemed to care but still wanted to brush the injury off. "I'll just have to stay off it a bit.."

"Make sure you do that," Her brow furrowed as she studied his leg as they walked. She wasn't a doctor, though he didn't suppose Golly would be inclined to go to one. "Just...take care of it, okay?" She didn't know why she was so concerned about his welfare, but the thought of him injured, all because he was trying to show her a good time, worried her.

Golly raised an eyebrow "Don’t worry lass, I will...but only because your insisting” He didn’t really see why she cared so much, but it was a good feeling – having someone fret about him. “Maybe your luck rubbed off on me…I mean I’m the one who fell off” He smile slightly at his attempt to be playful.

"If it has then I profusely apologize ahead of time for what might be coming your way," She said with a smile, pleased that he appared to be relaxing arund her again. He was an interesting man, this Golly McLean. And she liked him...enjoyed him even. She'd have to make sure that she got together some carrots some time over the next couple of days, something told her that he needed more smiles in his life. Not that she was one to provide those, he just seemed to like her.

Golly let out a short laugh. "Can't be too much worse than me own luck" His face straightened out again and he just stared at her blankly; he was trying to figure her out, so much he didn't know but was too reluctant to ask.
Vanora let out another grunt, obviously getting impatient. She reached her head around to Drama and stated to nip on her sleeve. "Vanora!" Golly squawked and swatted her head away.Looking at Drama apologetically he said, "Sorry..she must of heard the talk about carrots.." He shook his head irritated by his horses behavior.
