"I don't think they really give much of a choice," Callisto added, only half joking. Emmy and Shawn both had a way of making you feel like you'd known them forever, even if you barely knew them at all. Callisto just didn't understand how people could be so easy-going like that. She could deal with it with them, though, because they made it easy to do so.
Callisto leaned over on her horse a little when Rory came closer, listening to his whisper. Wait... was he implying that Shawn and Emmy were somewhere nearby? That would be pure insanity...which made it very, very possible. Callisto smiled, "mess with them how?" she whispered back, her horse moving a little closer to his too, but still a safe distance.

Rory laughed when Callisto said that Emmy and Shawn didn't give much choice in the way of their friendship. Well, that was definitely true. It was part of the reason why being friends with them was so easy for him. Rory was a friendly guy, but he wasn't very good at reaching out to people. At least, he normally wasn't very good at it. Shawn and Emmy made that easy because they did the reaching out and they were good at keeping him involved and making him feel like he wasn't in the way, even if he was.
Callisto moving her horse closer when Rory started whispering was perfect. It meant that if their friends were spying on them like he thought they were, maybe they wouldn't be able to hear. She didn't say anything about his suspicions, but that was okay. Her next question confirmed that she thought it was plausible that Emmy and Shawn were somewhere nearby. Rory shrugged a little. "I'm ... not exactly sure. What would they do if they were in our positions, to tease us?" Not that he and Callisto would ever stalk the other two if they were on a date, but that was beside the point. He also didn't want to suggest something that would make Callisto feel less comfortable around him. He liked interacting with her.

Rory's voice lowered more as he asked what she thought Shawn and Emmy would do in their situation, if the roles were reversed. "Well, first of all, we wouldn't be such stalkers," Callisto whispered, rolling her eyes, but with affection for the two she was reprimanding. "But, if they were us, they would try to flirt as annoyingly as possible, probably everything shy of a kiss. Unless they were feeling particularly devilish, then they'd do that too," she suggested, laughing and shaking her head. As much as she was the jealous type (a recent discovery) she would know that a kiss between Shawn and Emmy would mean nothing, and it was kind of a funny thought.
"So I say we act like this date is going very well," she suggested. She wasn't one for pranks, but if they wanted to spy then they had to pay.

Callisto's response started out completely logical, pointing out that the two of them wouldn't be following Emmy and Shawn, even if they were on a date together. She was right, but Rory rolled his eyes and smiled all the same. "Of course we wouldn't," he agreed, listening as she continued on. Rory could feel a grin threatening to overtake him, but tried to keep the smile small. He didn't want Shawn or Emmy to suspect anything. "They would," he chuckled when she started laughing.
At her suggestion, Rory felt himself grow more excited. He liked the idea of this. He and Callisto knew it meant nothing, but they could tease Shawn and Emmy. In the very least, try and make them feel uncomfortable. Rory nodded, "I think that's a marvelous idea," he directed his horse closer to her and reached over to brush something off of her shoulder, even though nothing was there. "Do we want to ride the entire time or get down for a bit?"

He agreed that they wouldn't be such stalkers, his own smile as wide as hers at the idea of how ridiculous the others were being. He agreed that they would indeed kiss if they decided to be just that mischievous, and she chuckled. She wouldn't go that far, no way, then Shawn would definitely know that it wasn't real because Callisto hadn't even kissed him yet - and had made it clear she wasn't much for physical contact anyway.
Rory nodded at her suggestion, calling the idea marvelous, and Callisto grinned, nodding. He reached across to brush her shoulder and Callisto couldn't help but chuckle, which only made it look more convincing she was sure. "Let's park the horses for a bit, maybe take a look at the beautiful trees." she suggested, leading her horse slightly toward the opposite side of the suspected ShawnEmmy bush.
She waited until she was pulled off to the side before turning toward Rory, waiting for him to get off first.

It was nice being in this sort of a situation with Callisto. Refreshing to be able to spend an enjoyable afternoon with her outside the hospital, but without any pressure. Basically it was a reassurance to him that the two of them could be friends without it being weird. Besides that, the play-acting they were about to do for the benefit of Shawn and Emmy was great. He figured most people probably wouldn't be interested in something like that, but it was clear that Callisto was, which made it lots of fun.
He nodded when he said they should park the horses. "Good idea," he answered, following her example and leading his horse away from Shawn and Emmy. Once he arrived, he dismounted and looked up at Callisto, lifting his arms. "Can I help you down, my lady?" he teased, in a voice too low for Shawn and Emmy to hear. He was probably enjoying this situation more than he should, but he couldn't help it. Besides, if Callisto let him help her off the horse, it would probably rumple Shawn and Emmy's feathers, which was exactly what they were going for.

Rory got down and offered to help her and she grinned, nodding. "Why thank you, good sir. What luck we've had being matched together this day," she said, and she was not a good actress. It was very clearly fake, and she was very clearly trying not to laugh as she allowed Rory to take her waist and hand as she climbed down from the horse. She landed on her two feet, standing very close to him as she did. She tried to feign breathlessness, though she probably just looked constipated. "The view down here is nice," she said, still looking at Rory, trying to bat her eyelashes or whatever it was girls did when they were flirting.

Callisto was playing along, which made the smile on Rory's face more real. It was entertaining to see her trying to act a bit for Shawn and Emmy. She obviously hadn't done much of it, which wasn't a bad thing because neither had he. "What luck indeed," Rory teased, winking at Callisto as he helped her dismount the horse. The two were standing very closely once her feet were on the ground and Rory wasn't quite sure what to do. He knew they could really make Emmy and Shawn squirm here if they made the right moves, but honestly he'd never really been good at anything like that. He nodded when she said the view was nice. "It is. Maybe we should see a bit more of it?" he suggested, turning and taking her hand in his. That wasn't too much, right? He glanced over at Callisto to gauge her reaction and winked a bit, trying to show he was still in on the joke if she was.

Rory took her hand, suggesting that they get a better view of what was around. Callisto looked down at their hands and then up at him. In reality, Shawn wouldn't buy that, because Shawn knew that Callisto wasn't that into physical touch. Buuuut maybe it would still work on Emmy. Callisto nodded, "yes, as long as we can keep an eye on the horses, of course," she suggested. They were property of the park, after all, so it would be unfortunate to lose them. She started to walk a little, trying to look comfortable... but her muscles were tense, mostly because of the holding hands thing. She wasn't sure how long she could keep that up.

Rory could almost sense the tension coming off of Callisto and wondered if she was still up for this game. He nodded, "Yeah, I'll keep an eye on the horses. Come stand right here," he pulled her to the side just a bit, releasing her hand and pointing to a view of the park that he thought was breathtaking. Hopefully that might help her feel more comfortable. "What do you think of that?" He asked with a triumphant grin, hoping Callisto would loosen up again now.

He pulled her toward him a bit, releasing her hand to point ahead. Callisto stepped over, looking toward the direction. The view was gorgeous, really. The trees were all lined up in a row around a cobblestone pathway, the sun shining through the trees and shooting beams of light down onto the ground. Callisto smiled, a small half smile, and nodded. "That's gorgeous," she said, not even a little bit of acting in her voice. Then she turned toward Rory, realizing how close she was to him, and smirked. She reached over and took his hand again, "what a perfect date," she winked to show that she was going back into the little game. But then, there was a loud rustling behind her and she turned around just in time to see some red hair peaking out of a sideways bush. If it was Emmy, she had fallen over. Callisto held back a laugh, turning back to Rory. "Let's get out of here so Shawn can help her up," she whispered. @rory (end it?

Rory could tell by the tone of Callisto’s voice that she was impressed by the view that he showed her. Really, it was quite impressive so it wasn’t a big surprise that she liked it. He nodded when she said that it was gorgeous. “I know,” Rory agreed with a smile. He loved looking at views like this. The fact that Shawn and Emmy were following made it even better. Hopefully they’d get jealous and maybe learn something about spying on people. Then again, knowing both of them, that wasn’t very likely. He chuckled ever so softly when she winked, saying their date was perfect. “I’m so glad you think so,” Rory said back, squeezing her hand a little. He froze when he heard the noise coming from behind them, but he let Callisto look, not wanting to give away the fact that Shawn and/or Emmy really just made it obvious that they were following him and Callisto. He nodded when Callisto said they should leave so Shawn could help Emmy. Ahh, so it was Emmy who fell. “Well, this has been great,” he said, loud enough that he knew their friends could hear him, “but I think we should head back. Come on,” he said, tugging her gently back to the horses. As the two rode back to the place they met, he was glad for how the date went. He enjoyed getting to know Callisto better and it was definitely worth the chance to make Shawn and Emmy feel uncomfortable. --- the end --- @callisto
