"Things like that never leave your blood."

It's been years since Kate worked the ranch, but she'd still identify as a cowgirl these days even before she would a teacher or an outlaw.

"Is that how y'learned to use one of those?"

She gestures to the staff Annie's been holding. That's one weapon Kate's never picked up herself.

However, Annie's next question pulls all thought from the gym and what's in it, as delight dances in her eyes. It's easy to see how much she loves riding.

"I do. I'd daresay it's the closest thing t'freedom us gravity-lovin' folk will ever get. When you're ridin' with the wind whippin' in your face an' that powerful creature movin' with you like you're one body, you feel like you could just — fly away."

She closes her eyes.

Her heart aches to see Beaut again. She's not been this long away from her horse in years.
