Tim had given a few eyerolls,Sighing and pausing from tidying up to look at Keenan.This dude was - ..Unlike anyone he'd ever met before.

"Yeah - Hillarious..."

His face froze a little as Keenan placed the phone on his desk,Eyes glued to it as he began to speak,Realisation coming over him.

"No..Ill take a miss.."

He says absentmindedly,His face flushing a little as he snapped back to life with an irritable look.

"Were not together - At least..No We're not.So stop assuming shit will you? - I can't believe what you've actually done.."

With that he exits the office,Giving Heather a fake smile as his hand runs through his hair.He was a little calmer now - With all the bottled up emotion expressed in marks all around his office.

Tim could now do with finding Emily - He needed to apologise.As soon as possible.Because the more he thought back,The more broken she had seemed..

Emily | Eventing | Open

Emily was lunging Mya in the indoor arena, her mind elsewhere as the mare galloped circle after circle, pushing at the end of the longe with every stride. First she'd lost Riley, and now she was losing Tim?

She used voice for another few minutes before the mare finally obliged, walking with a brisk, unsteady pace, jogging and prancing every few moments. She put the longe aside, asking the mare to stand still near the mounting block as she reared and danced around. Swearing under her breath, she jumped onto the mare in a vulnerable way, squeezing her sides as she reared again, but not all the way up. She pressed her on and the mare jolted forward, Emily growing increasingly concerned about the reality of the peaceful trailride she had envisioned.

A dark shadow seemed to fall across Savannah's face. "Yes," she said curtly as they neared the course. "And 'the gray' has a name by the way." Her gaze stayed in front, perfectly still. If this idiot asks one more question, he's gonna earn a black eye for his troubles, she thought to herself, eyes flashing. Memories raced through her mind as she absently guided Avatar towards the beginning of the course. She halted him, waiting for Noah.

The blonde had made his way around the built-up part of the site,Checking anywhere he could think Emily may be.With a frustrated sigh he circled back to the barn,eye brows furrowed and head whirring.

He cast an eye over his own mounts,His worried gaze then briefly passing his students stables.

His expression became briefly relieved - He hadn't found her because she was riding.But it soon shifted into worry,Remembering how she had spoke about how Keenan had taken advantage of her gullibility,riding on the highway..

"Oh Emily.."

He mumbles in a troubled tone under his breath,Pulling a dozy Boomer from his stall and tacking up with some haste.If she had left straight after the argument - Well she'd be well on her way now And not only that,She's taken Mya.Tim's worry only seemed to grow at that thought,The mare was a nutter at thr best of times it seemed.

Heading straight from the barn at a trot,by the time they'd reached the trail pointing toward the roads and town Tim had pushed The bay into a smooth canter.His strides covered the ground quickly,His rider on constant look out.

But in his haste, the usually somewhat organised instructor hadn't geared up correctly.He was now helmetless,Which if he was thinking straight Tim knew all too well how reckless that was.Not only that,Boomer's saddle was loose,swaying a little side to side with each bound.

Turning to a fork in the trail, Emily made a right turn, muttering to herself, "I'm not making that mistake again." Although most of the events of the night prior were unclear, she vividly remembered the route that had her ended up on the highway. It was one of the most terrifying events of her life, putting her horse at risk like that. And Keenan had done it like it was no big deal.

Feeling in her pocket for her phone, her heart skipped a beat as she realized she'd left it at home. That was rather irresponsible of her, wasn't it? What if something were to happen?

"Move up, mare," Emily squeezed her legs as the mare hesitated at a certain place in the path, her entire body tensing as Emily encouraged her forward. With a rather dramatic leap across absolutely nothing, the mare plodded forwards in a floaty, gigantic trot, Emily trying her best to slow the mare back down. As the path opened up into a huge open field, she encouraged the mare forward for perhaps the only time in her life, allowing her to take up a ground-covering, smooth gallop, Emily's bright blonde hair unkempt and flowing in the wind just as much as Mya's smoothly pulled mane.

Shrugging, Noah replied nonchalantly, "well, what is it then? You never told me her name." Pouting, he gestured to the bay mare beneath him. "This is Tabatha, but we call her a bunch of things. Mostly nice ones, although my family doesn't think she's a very suitable mount for me. They don't think she has the potential to help me take after Spencer..."

Noah walked up a bit, then began trotting down the hill, the mare's stubby gaits flowing from a lazy trot into a smooth, ground-covering canter. Noah's seat was still and smooth as he rode her up to fence one with impressive tactfulness, jumping the log jump with a lazy but efficient form from the mare.

Savannah gently nudged Avatar into a rocking horse canter. Leaping the jump almost effortlessly, she immediately fixed her eyes on the next fence. "His name is Avatar," she said curtly as she drew near Noah. Her eyes dismissed him subconsciously as Avatar sped into a racehorse-like gallop. "Shh, whoa boy," she reprimanded gently, pulling him in slightly while he tossed his head arrogantly.

"Same thing," he replied with a mischievous grin, pushing the mare down the field with each stride. She wasn't the most speedy mare, but made up for it with safety. Once again, he pushed her up and over a medium sized coop jump, his position disturbingly versatile. From there he went on to jump several more fences. As the trail went into the woods, it appeared to split off into the same two sections where Emily and Tim had split just minutes prior, unknown to the pair. "Which way? Who wants to do the safe thing, anyway? We should go exploring."

Savannah raised her eyes in mock despair of Noah's immaturity. Aiming Avatar at a brush fence, he jumped it messily, clipping a hock on the fence. Sighing, she pulled him in beside Noah. "Sure," she replied coolly as she nudged the grey stallion towards the trail.

Noah | HJ/E | Sav

Noah took a left, which, unknown to him, would lead to the main highway in a matter of an hour. He glanced back at Savannah, then back to the trail, entirely just ensuring that she was still there. "So have you been an eventer your whole riding career? That is what you do, right?"
