[attached: (1) a link to a livestock auction in jackson, WY next tuesday. or whatever day, idc. (2) a screenshot the available lots — Bracken's circled two American quarter horses from Moon Flower Ranch: a grullo dun mare listed as '10 Diamond Dustfire' and a red dun gelding listed as 'Stardust Ranger.']

So does that make it a very manageable dust fire or a very volatile one?

Volatile. But I've got a handle on it.

Actually a little surprised they kept her so long, given her attitude.

So you wrangle fires?

Perhaps they were waiting for something. Or perhaps they have grown wearisome of the aforementioned poor attitude. It does not matter terribly much in either direction, so long as the end result pleases you both.

Sure, could put it that way.

[...]

No, suppose it doesn't. We'll be happy to have them back.

And how do you wish to proceed?

[...] Still need to think about exactly how, but seems silly to not get them.

The obvious answer is money, bir tanem. Of which you possess more than enough.

It is just a matter of how direct you wish to be.

You possess more than

The matter of how direct is the big question, yeah.

Well. How direct do you wish to be?

Still sorting that out. Which I don't particularly want to do, but will.

Well, I do wish you the best of luck with it.

Not going to share your opinion on how to handle it?

I think regardless Bracken and I should go there. ~~Even though I~~

I am trying to exercise self-restraint.

Obviously. You have something to retrieve.

You can tell me what you think.

Could get someone else to manage it if we really wanted. But I don't feel like being sneaky about the whole thing.

I am well aware of what I can and cannot do.

~~That wo~~ I will say that neither of you are children lacking in support or means. There is no reason that you cannot manage for yourselves. What does anyone have that you do not?

~~Pain in the ass.~~

Would only be if we didn't want the [...] drama of going back to Wyoming.

How much trouble do you think it will be? Is the auction entirely theirs? How willing are they to put their own reputation up for public scrutiny in front of people that they are far more likely to see again than you are?

Pretty hard to know how bad it could be. But [...] yeah, they have much more to lose acting up than we do.

Then it is easy. All you have to do is act better. If their chin is high, yours is higher. If their words are sweet, yours are sweeter. If they go low, you look so very shocked at their appalling actions that everyone else turns to judge them harshly. That is how the court works.

Conceptually easy, yeah.

Maybe I'll just make you do the talking, if any is needed.

I am not to talk to anyone.

Hayatım, you act as though you are absent charm. It does not matter if there is venom behind them, you use the right words. You are here out of genuine desire. You do not wish to cause any trouble. You are, after all, financially prepared. You cannot imagine what the conflict would be if the money is good.

~~Can I just respond to this with 'ughhhhhh'?~~

You can probably say a few things.

[...]

Just a little stressful to think of going back.
