-Heather would appreciates the complements, when Emily hugged her, she winced a bit in pain as she was off balanced by her spraind ankle then she finally spoke- "I'll be fine, just sprained my ankle from the fall while I hit my back against the jumping obstacle pole pretty hard in the process" -she looked at Tristan then speaks again- "She isn't use to her new surroundings, including the people here that are new to her so she just need to calm down since she's being skittish from her spook earlier, plus I don't want anyone else getting hurt but thanks for offering though"

Emily watched Tristan, her expression indicative of shock. How did he know all that so quickly? Listening to the conversation, she watched the instructor shrug. "Okay, no problem. I just thought I'd offer."

Emily took advantage of the break in the conversation. Smiling, she inquired, "when you're done with her, do you want to come play mafia with us and a few other people? We're in the common room... Noah is insistent." Pausing, she looked around. "Have you seen Luke and Gabriella? I'm going to ask them too."

"Mafia?..hmm, that honestly sounds fun. Yeah I'll totally come play and I did see Gabriella and her brother somewhere in the barn I think" -Heather said in all honestly while putting Mystery's sky blue nylon halter on, clipping her dark blue & lighy blue lead rope to her halter-

"Ohmygosh yay!" Emily gave a beaming grin. "And, thanks! We'll look for them, but you'll probably beat us up there."

With that, both Tristan and Emily split up, looking on opposite ends of the barn and simultaneously stopping to check on their mounts.

-Heather leads Mystery back to her stall then she leads her inside the stall, making sure she had plenty of food and water then she takes her halter off and gently petted the mare and sighs- "Sweet dreams girl, hopefully we'll get to work together tomorrow" -Just when she was about to leave the mare, she felt Mystery's head go over her shoulder as the mare had brought her into a hug. Heather was shocked by this as she couldn't help but to hug the mare back, her hands getting tangled into the mare's silver colored mane. It reminded her to much of her old boy that she felt like she was about to break down in tears, did Prince put this mare into her life to help her recover from the lost of his death-

Savannah eventually put down her book and walked to the common room. She hadn't been there yet so she wanted to see it. "Seriously!" she muttered under her breath when she saw the playing cards. "So I wasn't the only one to come here." She looked around, unsure of where the other person could be.

Tim doesn't glance up at Noah,Focusing more so on the room around him.His mind however was flooded with that question,His head whirring.His expression thankfully managed to keep emotionless - Although his lack of eye contact almost gives him away.

"She's a nice girl and everything..-"

He finally managed,drifting off before shaking his head a little and looking up at Noah,

"But No - It's normal to have a close relationship with instructors but it's utterly inappropriate of me to even act that way."

Tim says in a partially certain voice,Nodding his head a little as if to act more persuasive.

"And she's a out of my league to be fair - But besides she's not my type?.."

He blatantly lies,just trying his hardest to Convince Noah that he was professional. If anything I don't think I'm her type He contemplates,Glancing up at Savannah as she walks in.Tim fully expected Noah to use his charm and invite her to join too.

-Heather walked in with a slight limp, she looks over at the three and says jokingly to be humorous- "Well, looks like I'm not the only one interested in playing the mafia game"

Noah was too busy watching Savannah to even fully retain what Tim was saying, which was really just him blurting out unconvincing statements to get Noah off his case. "Hey," Noah greeted, his entire being obsessing over the similarly-aged girl in an immature fashion. "We're playing mafia, care to join?"

Then Heather came in and Noah waved to her too. He gave a small smile, glancing back to Savannah to see if she was paying attention to him. "Wow, Emily did a good sales job on this..." He returned his attention to Tim shortly, who appeared still flustered. "And, take it easy, Grouchy Guy. I ask everybody that question, it was a joke. Funnily, most of them get uncomfortable and lie like you did... I wonder what that's about... anyway, you weren't the only one I asked. Counseling guy was the first, but I'm still a little confused about his answer. I can't tell if he was being sarcastic or not..."

Lost in thought, Emily and Tristan came in the door at that moment, Emily giggling melodically at something that the instructor had said. She was beaming light, as always, as her eyes drifted from Tim to Noah to Heather, then to Savannah. She gave a friendly wave before exclaiming, "Savannah! I'm so glad to see you! Care to join us?"
