I’ll need maps of those places, but also the Americas. Do you think you can draw those?
I certainly can draw that. However, I am afraid that will be a bit of a hard task, considering I'll have to travel to America, and the fact it's rather large might slow the process. If you're willing to wait, then I suppose I could...

You are a cartographer, yes? I need some new maps.Â
Ah, yeah, I am. I have maps of the areas surrounding the Baltic sea, Hungary, Romania, and Ireland.

*Keeping it simply, Ivan and his crew needed some new maps. He heard of a cartographer who drew maps so well, they were always accurate, so he’s decided to see for himself* *knocks on the door and waits for a few seconds before opening the door and going in.* horsesandmaps
*Vince hadn't expected a complete stranger to stop by his house-- nor had he expected said stranger would let himself in with no trouble. He should really change that useless lock--*
...Hello? What are you doing here?
*Asks warily from the end of the room, feeling up the knives he had hidden in his sleeve a few moments prior*

[Scoffs lightly] You have no idea, though thank you. You’re too kind.Â
Really? I thought you would, but I guess that makes sense. If horses come and go in your life, then that would be too much heartbreak to bare if you got too close to them.
[Watches him maneuver his horse with mild amusement, and great interest.] I think so. [Gently urges her horse forward with a small kick of her heel, and a secure grip of the reins to bring the horse to a trot.] Like this?Â
[He nodded at her, somewhat surprised by how quickly she picked it up.] Yeah, like that. I guess trotting for now should be enough-- you know, just so you can get used to it.
[Rides in silence for a few moments, trying to think of something else to say] Are you from around here? You certainly sound different from most people, but then again, I could be mistaken. [runs his hand through the horse's mane absently.]
-
Hm, I am aren’t I? Do you hold it against me, Sir? I wouldn’t blame you if I did. I find that I’m taller than most men. [Offers a small smile. 'Father and mother certainly found it unattractive for a woman.']
Oh, not for a while. My father owned a horse, but he rarely allowed me near her. She was a little bigger than this big boy here [pats the horse’s mane she was on] but no less beautiful. He took it to war, and that was the last I saw of her. Sad really, but no matter. Where shall we ride, Sir?Â
[ponders it for a moment before shaking his head] Nah-- it doesn't keep you from being a beaut. [and besides, no harm done since he was still taller than her] Though I can see how it may cause some trouble.
[Eyes widen in surprise] A-ah, so your father was also in the army? I had many horses when I was younger, so I never really had a close bond with any of them. My friend did, though... [His hand reaches up to touch the flower in his hair, but only for a few seconds. He then cued the horse to a slow walk, explaining to her as he did it] Got it?
-
[Smiles at what seemed like his easy-going nature, before going to follow him outside once more.]
[Chuckles] Yes, I would think it would be much more challenging with a dress on. I’d have to ride side saddle like the Queen, and I’m not nearly as graceful. [Watches him diligently as he mounts the horse. When he goes to offer her his hand, her smile widened. ‘Oh this is going to be fun.’] Thank you, Sir. [Goes to take his hand before going to mount the horse like he had. She swung her leg over, and though it was not perhaps lady-like, it was swift and seamless.]
Hm, I feel quite tall. [A smirk tugs the corner of her lips.] How was that?Â
You should give yourself some credit. The Queen is surely nowhere as nice as you-- [Eyes widen, and his coughs into his fist] I mean, you're a nice person. ['Great cover, Szalai'][Lets go of her hand once she'a on the horse. He doesn't mind the fact her movements weren't very lady-like-- as long as she didn't fall, he was fine with whatever technique she used to mount the horse. Still, the swiftness of her actions made him suspect this wasn't her first time dealing with a horse, despite what she had said a few moments prior]
You're already pretty tall, miss. [mounts his horse] And it was good! Have you ridden a horse before?Â
-
Hm… I think I saw some over at another stand. I can take you there, if you’d like!
Really? Thank you very much, stranger! What were you looking for? I might be able to help.
-
[oops]
Oh—yeah, I’m fine! Don’t worry about it.
[chuckles]
That's good. Have you by any chance seen any apples around here? Or maybe carrots? Or just something horses can eat?
[is at the market running errands for the bar] [is also going to get some stuff for the recipes for his café]
Hm… wonder what fruit they’ve got out today? And I can’t let myself forget to get the rum. Boss’ll have my head if I don’t bring some back.
[walking around, frantically searching for apples and carrots][why do horses eat so much? that's the real question]
Jesus, what is wrong--
[bumps into someone]
Ah, damn. I'm sorry, are you alright?

//Eirikur had gotten to tugging on the cord again, trying to get the machine started, though his attempts didn’t seem to be working. Jumping as he felt his shoulder being tapped, he spun to face the Hungarian.//
"Huh? Uh, yes. Everything is fine. Why?"
[Vince couldn't help but chuckle at the other's jumpiness, finding it more amusing than it probably was. Offering Eirikur an apologetic smile, he bowed silghtly to show respect]
"Neat wings. However, I don't believe the horses--"
[Points into the direction of the clearly spooked stiff horses]
"--appreciate them as much I as do."
-
[She readily followed him, while looking around the stable he kept along with the horses. They were all so pretty, meaning he took care of them well.]
[Smiles at his compliment, or perhaps he was just being polite by calling her pretty, though she wasn’t flattered like most women.] Well, I’m not alone am I? I have him, [she motioned over towards the horse with the tilting of her head] and I have you. That’s quite enough company, don’t cha think?
[laughs softly at her comment, and nods]
Yeah, I suppose so!
[finishes saddling the horse and pulls it by its reins. Once they are outside, he patted the horse as he began speaking]Â
Well, horseback riding isn't very hard... it might be a tad bit challenging with a dress on, Â [looks down at her attire] Oh, well, you're not wearing a dress, are you? That makes it much easier then! Okay, climb up! Just do this, yes... [pulls out another horse from the stable, and shows her how to do it. He then jumps off it to offer her a steadying hand]Â

//Adjusting the straps of the device that hung on his back, Eirikur switched on the device, causing the wing-shaped flaps on the back to start fluttering. The motor that sat between them gave a few loud cranks before it stalled, the wings stopping their flapping.//
"Again? I’ll never get these things working…"
[Was tending to the horses until he notices a few were clearly on the verge of causing a havoc. And so, before anything terrible happens, he quickly glances around to see if he can pinpoint the cause, which doesn't take him too long. Climbing over the fence separating them, he tapped Eirikur's shoulder]
"Excuse me, sir? Is everything under control?"
-
[She thought it was a little expensive for a horse, but she wouldn’t mind amusing herself for an hour or so.] Would you be able to teach me? I wouldn’t want you to leave your post or anything?
[Truthfully she knew how to ride a horse, but it was fun sometimes to play clueless around strangers.]
[He shrugged, motioning for her to follow him as he led the horse towards the stables, where the saddles were stored]
Of course! I wouldn't mind teaching a pretty lady such as yourself to ride. [Looks around briefly] Are you with someone? It's not very often that a person-- a lady, at that-- is willing to spend some time here on their own.
[Ties his hair into a ponytail quickly and starts saddling up the horse]
-
[Looks up a bit surprised at first since she notice him before. She blinked at first, not sure if what she heard was right, though her features easily broke into a big smile.] Really? I can ride him?
[Nods, smiling back at her]
Yeah, I don't see why not. You'll have to pay, though. It's ten pounds an hour. Do you know how to ride a horse? If not, I'll have to teach you.
((If anyone wants to plot, feel free to drop me a message! Or just like this post and I can go over to send you a message to plot~))

[Walking by casually when noticing the poor victim getting kicked, and though it was probably rude, she laughed.] Oh sorry…heh, really sorry. Are you alright?
[Leans down to offer a hand only for it to be turned away.] Well it can’t be helped, but while he’s gone, let me have a look at you. [Smiles warmly up at the horse and offered the fella her hand as to not spook the horse by suddenly approaching it. When accepted, she began stroking him gently.] You’re a beauty. Someone must really love ya for your coat to be this soft, huh?Â
[He couldn't help but chuckle at the lady and the victim's interaction. Going over to help the person stand and apologizing on behalf of the horse, he turned to look at Amelia]
[Decides to simply watch her talk to the horse, surprised by how calm it was when in her presence. This horse literally kicks at everything that dares get near it, so seeing it being so peaceful is a nice change] He likes you. Do you want to take him for a ride? [Absently plays with the horse's mane]
[muttering to himself as he crawls about the place]
Where are the flowers...?
