Adrien just smiled and waved as Trent left. Adrien may look calm, but his emotions were saying the complete opposite. Mostly, quiet anger. Like before. Adrien looked at Frynn and waved a small bit.

"Frynn's a nice name." He muttered to her before walking by her and back inside. Phantom was talking with Katana. That's nice. When Phantom saw him she threw her head and pawed the ground,

-You idiot! What were you thinking? Also, are you alright? He hit you pretty hard.- She said.

Adrien nodded and sighed, touching the spot he was punched lightly.

"Eh, I'll live." He murmured, taking her halter gently and walking with her back to the crossties. Once he did so, he made sure she was rebrushed down, before grabbing her saddle and saddle pad. He tacked her up, checked the girth, and whatnot. Then slipped the halter off, with his arm wrapped under her head, as he slipped the bridle on. She took the rubber bit carefully and nodded when it was okay. Adrien nodded back and grabbed her reins, walking her out of the barn, and too the jumping arena.

Frynn winced again as she couldn't fully block out the boy's emotions. He was really angry. He had a right to be, of course, but it just taught Frynn she needed to be better at blocking out emotion. As he spoke she pretty much had time to just glance at his back as he walked away. +He must've been listening. How could he not. Trent was probably yelling. I can't even remember now. Why does he avoid me so much? And why did he go out there? And I need to figure out his name. I can't just keep thinking of him as the boy+ Frynn thought with a small sigh, disappearing into the trees. At this point she wasn't scared of being attacked- she was in a mood where she kind of just wanted to burn everything and start over. Walking through the woods, she stopped at a small creek, staring at the water.

Adrien and Phantom were practicing jumping. He always wanted tp get better. He would talk as he did what he was doing, so if Phantom heard, she had a general idea of what he was having her do. Adrien soon finished practicing and decided to go on one of the

He led Phantom toward it ad onto the path. She began to walk through trees, past bushes, past flower fields. It was beautiful. Once they were far enough away that Adrien thought no one was around, he pulled a water ball from the nearby river. First, he let Phantom drink from it, before pulling more and playing with it. He let Phantom walk as he played with the water ball.

-You are a child sometimes Adrien. It's lovely.-

Phantom whinnied in amusement. Adrien smiled slightly and laughed. All the anger from earlier had vanished. Replaced with peace, and even happiness.

Frynn stayed seated in a shadowy area near the water, her dark blue eyes dancing with the gurling streams reflection. She was silent, thoughtful. It was nice and quiet out here. No voices in her mind or violent emotions. And it stayed that way for a while, until a mind she'd come to recognize prodded the edge of hers- the wet, cold wall that she had figured out quickly was the boy's brain. And his horse. After a couple seconds she heard them approaching, though from father away. Frynn shrunk back slightly to stay next to a big tree that would mostly hide her. She waited for a second, then the boy and his horse appeared a ways downstream, in a small grassy clearing. They paused for a moment, and the boy did his captivating watery thing, before they both walked on. Frynn needed to get up the confidence to at least ask his name. Thankfully, his emotions wafted over much calmer, even slowing her thoughts down slightly to the point where she felt more peaceful than before. At least he was happy. After they disappeared Frynn stood and headed back towards the barn, tacking up Katana in western gear. The mare was already raring to go, knowing what was happening. +I knew it! Finally! Barrels! I bet I can go even faster this time+ she whinnied. Frynn smiled, walking Katana into an arena and setting up the pattern before warming up.

(Any drama you can possibly think up lol- I don't care)

Adrien kept walking with Phantom. They had eventually reached a small lake, with a dock. The dock wasn't in horrible condition, and the water was clear enough to see the bottom and didn't look bad. Plus, it had multiple rivers flowing into it. So it seemed safe. Adrien stripped off his shirt and snapped, summoning some of his swim trunks. He changed into them quickly and then began untacking Phantom. She deserved some fun too. Adrien vanished her tack items back to the tack room, on their shelves for later, and instead summoned Phantoms halter with her name bracket, slipping it on her then grinning at her.

"Alright! Now we can both get in." He said, grinning.

-Yes!- Phantom whinnied happily, making Adrien laugh as he ran to the dock, jumping off it and into the water, grinning largely. Phantom entered another way, thankfully, she was tall enough, and the lake was shallow enough, that she could stand, with her head above the water. She flicked some water at Adrien and Adrien grinned.

-... WAIT NO NO NO- She neighed quickly.

Adrien summoned a water ball and threw it at her, it splashed her face and she pinned her ears.

-I hate you.- She huffed. Adrien grinned and kept laughing, cackling at his mare's annoyed look. She splashed water at him and he fell over, splashing into the water before he got his footing and splashed his mare back.

Frynn urged her a little faster. The mare launched into a gallop, spraying dirt up as she wheeled around the Barrels. +Bet no other horse can go this fast!+ Katana jokingly neighed, spinning round the last barrel and darting home. All in all, it was a beautiful run. After a couple more practices Frynn slowed the mare, grinning. +Okay okay. Trail ride time+ she thought, patting Kat's neck and walking towards the woods. The sun was just starting to set yet there were no bugs, the air was warm, Sky beautiful colors, and Frynn was happier than ever. She was with Katana on a glorious hike. They trekked deeper and deeper into the woods until Frynn heard the lapping waters of a lake, then she turned into a small clearing, not too far from the lake. She dismounted and glanced around before spotting something with a smile. Frynn walked over to a downed log and dragged it over to the middle of the small clearing. She then untacked Katana and laid the saddle and bridle near a tree. Walking around and grabbing dead, dry bark and sticks, Frynn slowly built up her pile before expertly arranging it in the middle. Since they were alone, as far as she could tell, she let a hot flame creep onto her hand. A second later it jumped to the sticks, exploding in crackling fire. With a triumphant smile, she sat back on the log she had dragged over. Katana tossed her mane. +Nice and peaceful. Good ending to a hard day+ the mare nickered, walking a couple steps away to graze. Frynn just stated at the fire, her eyes reflecting its bright glow. Fascinating.

Adrien didn't see Frynn and her mare go over to a clearing on the other side of the lake. Phantom was taunting him now as she splashed around in the water. Phantom trotted through the water, her head held high as she prances over to the clearing. Shaking her mane out. Phantom whinnied and looked over at Frynn and Katana.

-Hello!- she neighed at them. Adrien looked over and grinned, wading over to them and waving.

"Hello"

He said quietly, smiling slightly. He summoned a water ball and splashed it at Phantom quickly. She revered slightly and threw her hair.

-you son of a bitch!- she neighed jokingly. Adrien grinned and laughed at her words.
