Ellie paused to check her phone, a slight smile spreading across her face. "They're doing good, but it finishes at midday tomorrow, so we will have to wait and see what happens," she said with a smile. She watched him walk away for a moment, just leaning against the stable door until he showed up again.

Sam felt some thing tickle his foehead and eached up, dislodging a cascade of golden straw from his haid.

(got to go!!)

(Thats fine!)
Ellie watched Sam from a small distance, a smile lingering across her face. "There's still a bit left." She said, gesturing to his head where a few bits of hay still laid.

Sam ran hs hands over his hair a few times, leaving it sticking up. in a desperate effot to smooth it down a little he ran his hands over it again, but the hai stayed exactly as it was. "i give up." Sam huffed, a small smile playing on his lips. Then he soaked Neo's hay in clean water for a few minutes before giving it to him damp, so it was better for him and ree of dust or fungal spores.

"You can't tell its there," She teased when she saw he was struggling with the bit of hay. "It matches your hair perfectly," She joked, rolling her eyes. She moved for him to get through the stable door and tie the hay net up, then shut the door behind him again.

Sam eyed her with a mock frowny face, before tying up the haynet and reaching over to unbolt the door. "same trick doesn't work twice." He said, a smile tugging at the edges of his mouth. Shutting the door behind him, he gave Nero one last stroke and heade for the accomodation. "i'm going to bed, it's getting late." He said, making his way u the porch steps. "see you tomorrow"

"I was just... Being helpful?" She almost questioned her excuse with a pout. She followed him up to the accommodation area and gave him a small, yet bright smile, her blue eyes seemingly smiling as well. She held a hand up as a wave before going inside, making something to eat, showering and getting ready for some much needed sleep. After a short while of tossing and turning, she managed to fall into a deep yet dreamless sleep.

Sam awoke in his cotton sheets refreshed and well. Getting out, he brushed his teeth and put his yard clothes on. Once he had finished his breakfast, he walked happily to the yard at the normal time of 5AM. He did Nero's food and water, and topped up his hay, waving hi to Ellie as she walked past.

Ellie managed to wake up on time for once, and she didn't look very tired either. She got dressed ate and brushed her teeth, then made her way down to the yard. She was exited to see how her suits would do, because if they had done well, they might not have to fight for money any more, the vet would be satisfied and they could go back to normal. She didn't notice that Sam waved to her, so just started to work on he school horses stables, soaking hay, making feed and mucking out.

Double- sorry >,<)
