A flicker of doubt crossed Savannah's face, but she quickly hid her feelings. "Um, yeah, I guess you could say that," she said uncertainly. "And you?" She felt Avatar tense beneath her at some imaginary sound. "It's okay, boy," she said, smiling as his ears pricked at something. "There's nothing out there." She loosened the reins to give him his head, relaxing in her worn jumping saddle.

Mindlessly, Noah continued on down the trail. "My brother is like twenty-something years older than me, so by the time I was born, I was already being trained to be just like him. So, yeah, my parents always compare us and stuff. My sister, Rhynn, is lucky. They didn't ship her off like they did with us two, she was never forced to do anything the way we were. Kinda annoying, if you ask me. She's lazy as a cow, though, so it all worked out." With a chuckle, Noah's bright eyes scanned the trail ahead of them, Tabatha half falling asleep as she walked along in a slow pace.

"Mmh," Savannah said absently, her eyes staring aimlessly. "So your whole family's eventers? No showjumpers, dressage geeks, natural horsemanship nerds?" she said, pulled herself out of her gaze. Birds twittered around her as Avatar glanced around, happy to stay at a walk.

Noah shook his head. "Riding is a business investment to my parents, so they don't really care about what discipline, but eventing seems to be where the money is. And Spencer is the oldest, so he kind of chose this for us..." He let his feet hang from the stirrups, rolling his ankles subconsciously. "What about your family?"

"My dad used to be into racing, but then..." Her voice trailed off, leaving her eyes full of painful memories. Blinking sharply, she tried to stop the tears from coming. Avatar halted, picking up the anxiety and pain in his mistress.

"Then what?" Noah blurted out in his usual non-sensitive, childish way. Glancing back at her, he halted Tabatha too. "Hey, you good?"

(loooll Noah)

"Nothing. I'm fine!" Savannah snapped, tears brimming. "Why can't you just mind your own business for one millisecond? Or is that too hard for your tiny brain?" She nudged Avatar into an uneasy trot, unaware that they were almost beside the highway.

These two are such a bad match that they work, loooll.)

"I'm just trying to be a good guy and check on you, ya know? Geez."

He moved Tabatha into an easy canter, surpassing Avatar and Savannah within seconds. "Beat you," he said with a grin, it suddenly faltering as cars roared past. "That... is... a highway. Holy smokes, do you think we can get back on the emergency lane? That'd be fun."

"Well stop trying!" Savannah gathered her reins hurriedly as she saw the busy road. "Easy, boy," she said slightly nervously as Avatar shifted beneath her. "Don't even thi-" Avatar rose up beneath her into a tall rear, screaming as only stallions can. He rocked down and began to buck.

"Now what?" Noah patted his mare, for she was calmly standing, although her attention was now captivated where she was lazily dozing off moments prior. Savannah, on the other hand...

"Don't fall off," he advised casually, waiting for the pair to work out their kinks. "Where do you wanna go now?"
