[So far, he hasn't had any contact with the other Hargreeves! Ben gets to have this cowboy friend all to himself for at least a little while.]
[And all this new friend can do is nod along with Ben's list of modern marvels, trying his best to file these strange words away for later (although he knows about cameras and cars--well, technically train cars, but the foundation concept is there). It's not enough to overwhelm him, unlike his first introduction to the things that exist far in the future. Ben's managed to catch Kieran in a moment of relative zen when compared to his initial arrival to Anchor. His mind is clear and open, free of that fear and confusion from appearing here... and the horrific circumstances that surrounded that entry.]
...Yer right. About all of those things. [His grin turns into something a little more reflective. He's still smiling, just thoughtfully.] When things settle down, I'll swap some stories with ya. Just so we can figure out just how much the important stuff's stayed the same.
[And with Ben's next question, Kieran turns to face the mare. He places his hands on his hips and blows out of his mouth, cheeks puffed as he thinks.]
Honest to God, I didn't really have a plan at first. Just wanted to see how wild she actually was.
Doesn't look like she's too spirited, so I think she'll be good for ridin' soon enough. I think I wanna get her over to the barn over there in a week or two, see if I can get her roped up with a practice bridle and some reins.
