Cameron raced after Lucifer, knowing that the stallion would stop eventually. He glimpsed sight of him as Lucifer bent down to graze, sticking his neck over the pasture fence. Grabbing his halter, Cameron jerked at it,, before noticing an attractive young lady there. "Uh, sorry about that," he said awkwardly, lost for words.

Turning sharply as the stirrups landed at her feet, her kind smile was quickly turned into a glare. "What was that about, Mr. Cooley?" she said coolly, striding towards him. She grabbed his reins and halted Jest. "The lesson is officially over," she said to the others. "But I'd like you, Noah, to stay here for a while. We need to talk."

Emily | Eventing | Tim, fam

Riley gave an unfazed grin, his expression soft as he glanced up at Emily forlornly. He managed to grab a majority of the luggage with strong arms, the young man towering over most of the people there. The sudden noise of the car door shutting caused the attentions of Emily and Cara to catch onto what was happening, both young women walking rapidly towards the car.

Emily, shivering violently despite only a small chill in the air, gave as much of a smile as she could muster, her eyes bright with enthusiasm. "Tim, this is my best friend, Cara."

Cara offered her hand for Tim to shake, her Latina features a direct contrast of Emily. She then turned to Riley, the trio seemingly enjoying an inside joke the others could not understand. "We're probably related somehow too, its just easier to say it that way. Riley can lay out the family tree for you, but it will take you over an hour to understand it. And, only on paper, not the psychology behind our psychotic parents."

Emily giggled softly, but behind her eyes held some sort of sadness--resentment. It wasn't something she could explain, only something she could feel. "Can I have my bag, please, Sport?"

Riley gave an amused chuckle, handing Emily her bag. "Sure thing, Cripple." The pair exchanged another glance, further questioning their relationship. Cara broke an awkward silence with a knowing smirk.

"You two..." Cara swung a lanyard back and forth in her left hand half-consciously as she gestured towards the house. The group instinctively followed her, and as they entered, the young woman began giving out room assignments. "Emily, left bedroom down this hall. Tim, the bedroom on the right, right across from hers. Emma and Riley, upstairs bedroom, Camden is in the attached guest room. Let me know if there are any issues."

Emily squealed in a way only she could at the sight of a large dog. "Blanca!" The gigantic dog, who was pure white and nearly the size of Emily, ran over to her. Emily bent over, hugging the four-legged creature.

Cara gave a chuckle as Riley bypassed the situation, he and Camden headed upstairs. Emma was still nowhere to be seen. "She missed you."

"I missed her more!" Emily gave her trainer a sheepish smile. "This dog is really mine, but Cara took her away from me."

"Yeah, that's what happened," the Latina chuckled.

Emily stretched up once more, headed down the hall. She dumped her stuff into the left bedroom, spending quite a bit of time repacking for the third or fourth time. While she was in the room, Riley descended down the stairs once more, a concerned look on his face. He had to tell Tim some things he did not want to tell anyone, and he would have to tell Emily soon enough. In all actuality, he wasn't even sure how to at all.

Noah | HJ/E | Kholo

"But... whyyy?" Noah whined, throwing his reins down. "Is it because I'm more talented and you're gonna let me jump now? I am better than them, huh? It runs in my blood, I guess."

(short, sorry :(

Timothy Blue / EI / M: Emily.

Tim had held back a laugh at the sight of Riley clutching onto all the bags.Sure he felt as though it did make him seem less - Masculine? - Holding only a few but it wasn't half funny seeing him like a pack donkey.

His gaze then turns back to Emily,eyes gentle as he watches the pair wander over,A subconscious smile creeping over his lips.Giving a silent nod he looks to Cara,Giving her hand a firm shake,

"I would like to say shes said all about you - But.."

He says with a laugh,Giving the blonde a fond look before glancing up to the house in a sheepish manner.Tim couldn't help but notice the silence - the unspoken tension of sorts between his student and Riley.He didn't understand their relationship,and didn't want to prod at it.

Tim gives another longing look at Emily's Excitable squeal,Before heading into his room ,Leaving the door open and glancing around.Giving an impressed look he places his bag delicately on the bed,As if not wanting to break the mattress.

I don't think so looool. What was your guess? I'm throwing something completely unprefaced lol. Also I'm gonna leave this post short so we can get that walk rolling, lol.)

Riley and Cara began discussing their lives and catching one another up on their lives, Emily still submerged in the depths of her obsessive packing. Everything had to be perfect, and, truthfully, this was the only thing she could control. Her life had turned out a mess. Her emotions were always a mess. So, cleanliness seemed to be the one thing she could arrange herself. When she finally removed herself from the insanity, she didn't find anyone in the living room but Cara, who asked her to help with the yard work outside. After an enthusiastic yes, the pair of girls left, leaving the main space empty in the home.

(either they can already be walking or I can just force Riley back into sight lol.)

Timothy Blue / EI / M: Emily

Tim had thrown his stuff into the draws in a minimally organised manner,surveying his room as he went.He was trying to get a feel for his host's persona,Although that went amiss.He really didn't have a clue.

He had headed out toward the garden again alone after unpacking,Spotting Riley's troubled expression.Tim had simply raised his eyebrows in aknowledgement,Giving a slightly inviting look before heading out to look around at the greenery.

(Sorry for the wait! )

Yeah that happened, but it's not about that, looll.)

Emily | Eventing | Tim/Fam

Riley gave him a small smile, following the man outside. As they began walking through the suburban neighborhood, Riley spoke first, but didn't look at Tim. "Listen, I don't want to break Emily's trust in me, so, I'm only going to speak on how much you already know. How much has she shared?"

(Short, sorry :(

Timothy Blue / EI / M: Riley (Emily).

Timothy Stayed quiet up to that point,Finding an unbelievable fascination in the housing estates.It was clear to him Riley was uncomfortable of sorts speaking about whatever this regarded - And as Tim could understand all too well he keeps his gaze away.

"Well..-"

He pauses,Curiousity taking over at Rileys question.Why did everything seem so secretive?

"I'll be honest mate - I didn't really know you were coming until this morning.And both me and Emily aren't.. We don't know each other too well.I just came to advise.I dont really.."

He blurs out a little flustered.Tim didn't know how to explain it,Just taking about her made him that way.Clearing his throat his eyes fall to the floor,Watching his feet methodically tapping against the pavement.

(It's no prob,I'm struggling today lol!)

Emily | Eventing | Y'all already know lol

Riley raised his eyebrow, his green eyes scanning the shorter man over to make sure he was serious before continuing. "Oh, really?" His voice faltered a bit, a tone of disbelieving disappointment washing over him. "She... hasn't mentioned me? Mentioned us?"

Shrugging it off, he continued. "Well, I...can't...speak on that. We all have our reasons, I guess. But, what I do need to tell you, is that... I have to break some news to her tomorrow. I'm hoping to do it after she's all happy because of the new horse. Listen, we uh, don't come from the best family. Me, Cara, and Emily are the only ones that aren't subject to the dysfunction, if you will. And none of us are truly related by blood, just all traumatized by the same people. Quite a few years ago, when me and Em were in high school together, her mom died. Well, that's an incredibly long story in itself, because she was in jail for something Emily's father--my stepfather--did. And, well, she passed away. What Emily doesn't know is that they're opening up an investigation for what they think is...well...murder." Riley didn't feel better about telling Tim, he only felt worse realizing that he had to crush Emily. "Listen, man, Emily is the most important person in my life. She always will be. I know how breakable she is, so I'm asking you, since I can't be that person for her anymore, to have her back. I don't know what kind of relationship you have, but I just need you to support her. Get her through this." Riley looked upset, there was a pain in his heart nothing could relieve. He wasn't that person for her anymore, and he never could be. He wiped a tear away from his eye, a small, false smile taking over. "Sorry, I know we met like six hours ago."
