Chase was exceedingly happy about getting a horse. He had always wanted one. Sure, they wouldn't be the same as thestrals considering they wouldn't be able to fly in the air, but they would still be awesome. Chase went out and bought one this morning. Yes, just like that he bought a horse.
He took it to the barn immediately and started grooming it. He fed it, and gave it a bath and everything. Chase was at peace here. Rose was inside taking a nap, as was Brent. He was up late with her and let Chase sleep. He was amazing with her so far, and Chase loved every moment of it.
The horse was beautiful. It was almost all black, except the mane and tail on it was a beautiful white. Chase fell in love with it the minute he laid his eyes on it. And he knew exactly what to name it right away. Jay. It was for two reasons. One, he knew Belaya loved to ride horses and her brothers name had been Jay. Two after Brent and his best friend who was going through an extremely hard time at the moment. Chase still felt horrible about that, but it was kind of over and done with.
"Jay. Do you wanna go for a ride?" Chase asked the horse before petting the side of his head gently.

Belaya was on her way to the forest with Glamoura by her side for a small walk but decided to peek into the barn for a bit first because she had heard a few sounds coming from there. The teen had woken up a bit late as she had stayed up all night and for the first few hours of the morning helping out Brent with Rose. All in all she had gotten about 6 hours of sleep which was pretty good for her. It was much, much healthier for her too and she was already starting to look and feel better.
After waking up she made herself a quick breakfast of a rabbit, something she and Glamoura had hunted down the day before, eggs and milk. Belaya gave the rest of the rabbit to her wolfdog, her leftovers and some dog food then gave him fresh water in his water bowl. Once she had rested a bit and checked on Rose to make sure she was sleeping soundly, she decided to go on a walk in the forest with her beloved companion.
Upon entering the barn Belaya was greeted with the smell of horse and the sight of her adopted father and a beautiful black and white stallion. Glamoura stayed a few steps behind his master as he was trained to do so when he came in contact with a horse.
"You got a horse?" Belaya said as she made her way towards Chase and the stallion, her voice full of awe for the horse.

Chase jumped a bit when he heard a voice from behind him. He turned to see Belaya coming toward the horse. It was still a bit odd for Chase. Belaya and Tommy weren't like Rose was to him and Brent. Tommy was actually Brent's brother and Belaya was someone Chase couldn't bare not to help. They adopted them both.
"Yeah. I needed some kind of animal here to keep me sane." Chase joked as he turned to give her a wide smile. "Rosie still napping? Brent too?" Chase asked, worrying a little that maybe Rose had woken up but Brent hadn't. "If not... I'm about to go for a ride on him. You can come with, if you like." Chase offered her. He wouldn't mind some company on the horse.
"His name is Jay. By the way. I know that was your brothers name... and it's Alex's nickname too. So I thought it was a perfect name for a horse in this family."

"Don't worry. Both of them are sound asleep. Rose didn't move an inch when I went into her room to check on her before I came here. Your room was quiet when I passed by there so I assume Brent is still asleep..." Belaya told him though her full attention was on the stallion whom she was petting. "Can I? Really? It's been awhile since I've ridden a horse. Last time was in Russia... Anyway, I'd love to..."
Belaya always found horses as some sort of a sanctuary as only good memories were associated with horses. She had been taught how to ride at an early age as per her father's instruction. He had to seem like he was actually taking care of his kids after all so he made his daughter take horseback riding, English style and Western style, while Jay learned to play the piano.
Belaya's eyes widened a bit and her hand stopped petting the beast and started to tremble slightly as she learnt the name of the horse. "Jay? Jay..." she murmured the name softly as she trailed her hand down the horse's black head and through its white mane. The name always brought pain to her though it also made her happy as well...

Chase smiled when Belle said she had checked on Rose and found her still asleep. "You're going to be a good big sis, Belle." Chase told her with a big smile before walking over and grabbing a saddle. He quickly laced it up on Jay and made sure it was steady. He got a foot stool and put it next to him. "Hop on, I'll get on behind you."
Chase had only ridden a horse type thing, a thestral actually, a few times. The most recent when he forced Brent up into the air. He had rode the horse a few times before he actually bought him, and Chase knew he was trained well. He wasn't worried about Belaya getting hurt. Especially not when he was with her.
"I wanted it to be special to you, Belle. And I know how much you loved your brother." Chase offered for his reasoning before holding out his hand to help her up.
