"i guessed as much." Sam said and smirked. "anybody who eats pot noodles can't cook." Teased Sam. "anyway i'd better get going. im going to hop on Nero and see how my side acts up..." He hoped it was going to go well. Sam only planned on hopping on him bareback inthe pastue, and Neo wouldn't care in the slightest. with a slight wave at Ellie, he went into the pasture, grabbing a long leadrope along the way. he clipped the rope onto Nero's headcollar, looping it around his neck then clipping it on again. then he slowly slipped onto his copper-gold back, using the nearby fence as a mounting block. Nero wasn't fazed, and simply lifted his head up, snorting. Sam didnt feel any discomfort so he nudged him and together they walked around the large field. Satysfyed, Sam slipped off, patting the horse and giving him a carrot in thanks.

Ellie put a look of offense on her face before rolling her eyes slightly, but gave a curt nod when he mentioned that he was going to give riding a shot. "Alright, just say if you need help," She offered a smile, staying for a few moments before disappearing into the barns to make up some feed.

Sam lead Nero back into the yard, a happy smile on his face. "i managed!" he called out to Ellie, who was just finishing her feed.He took Nero into the stable and topped up his hay and water, as well as replacing his himalaya salt lick.

She raised a brow for a moment at the voice but gave him a grin, "And you had no issues?" She questioned with her head slightly cocked to the side. "No pain? Nothing?" She questioned curiously as she placed all the buckets away in a large box so that they would be ready for morning before she walked out and leaned on Neros stable door.

"Nope!" Sam said happily. "not one bit. it's healing well." He quickly dashed over Nero's coat with a body brush, wiping off all the dust from the field. The boy tickled Nero's chin, then unbolted the door, slipping out and leaving Nero to his dinner. He yawned and said "well its getting late so i'd better be off. see you!" He waved lightly and walke back to the accomodation fo some food and a wash.

"Good bye then!" She called softly with a small smile. She didn't stay for much longer but while she was walking back, she came past Aaron, and he somehow knew what was going through her head, "Yes, the is food in my fridge. No, you can not have it." He said almost as if he had read her mind. "I-" She paused as she rubbed the back of her head softly, "Wasn't going to ask..?" She said almost in the form of a question. "Yes you were~" He purred with a laugh, "Mk, yes, I was." She huffed "Anyway, I'm going to bed, see you tomorrow," Ellie said with a small smile as she started to walk back. Aaron said his good byes and continued off to wherever he was going. Ellie made her way to the living space, made herself something to eat and grabbed a shower before going to sit in bed, trying to sleep, but she just couldn't manage it, so just sat, staring out the window until she felt her eyes become heavy and finally a little sleepy.

Sam awoke abruptly to the sound of distressed whinnying. Luckily it didnt sound like Nero, but he whipped on some clothes and ran out of the door, banging on Ellie and Aarons doors before rushing to the paddock. There he found Ruin the little pony...basically in ruins. He was kicking his stomach and trying to get down on the ground. Colic. Sam instantly thought and knew that if the little pony got down on the ground, it would be much harder to save him. he called out. "Ellie, Aaron! Quick!"

Ellie woke up slowly to the sound of banging, then every other sound registered in her head and she swiftly got up, threw a robe on and some flip flops then dashed out of the little houses with a look worry clear in her eyes. "Which one is it?" She asked Sam as she stared out into the fields. As soon as Aaron had stumbled out the house, she ordered him to call a vet then dragged Sam off the the field at full speed, hopping the fence and going straight towards the little pony, telling Sam to see if he could keep him standing. She had been with the naughty little pony since she was ten, and it was clear the concern in her eyes only seemed to grow as she did what she could to keep the little gelding on his feet.

"its Ruin." Sam said worriedly. He heaved on the little pony, using all his bodyweight to keep the gelding on his feet. he only hoped the vet could come soon. he grabbed a leadrope and clipped it on, using it for further help. "we need to get him up and moving." he said. "can i get some help keeping him up?" he asked quickly. the pony was leanin on him and it took all his strength to keep the littly guy up.

Ellie offered a little nod and swiftly moved to help him with the pony helping him stand on his own four hooves, before trying to get him to walk on the lead, but he only took a few steps before kicking his stomach harshly again. Ellie pulled a little again as she spotted the vets van rumbling down the drive, and a look of relief washed over her face, but she kept on walking the little pony around and keeping his head up.
