Emily gave a small smile at his comment. "I'm not as passionate for horses as I was for skating, riding actually brings back some terrible memories of my childhood." She looked away, composing herself, then continued, "but, we don't ever get what we want, do we?" It was obvious there was still a lot of emotion behind this, for even Emily, one of the least emotional people in the world, was just a bit teary-eyed. She was silent for more than a moment, not really expecting Tim to reply. Why was she being so emotional with her trainer, anyway?

Luke Hemmings | M | 18 | Eventing | Blood Sport | M: Open

Luke stopped and turned around. He walked back in to the barn and looked threw the bars of Chances stall door. GAbriella was playing her guitar still as Chance slept next to her. Luke watched her with a smile for a bit. GAbriella looked up at him as she kept playing. "can i help you?" GAbriella asked as she played still. She stopped and rubbed Chances face as he slept. "i'm going to go on a trail ride,or i'm going to just go ride.." Luke said as he watched her. "ok, i will be here." GAbriella said as she layed down next to Chance. Luke smiled at her then he went and got Red and hopped on bare back then rode to the XC course.

Tim gives a slightly concerned look as she speaks,Watching her tear up a little.Before he realised what was happening,His nearest hand had raised up to settle on her knee,His thumb moving in circles in an attempt to sooth her,

"Yeah.. I suppose.Although you have a choice to get what you love in life.."

He says in a wistful tone,Before his eyes widen at the realisation of what he was doing.He takes a step toward his mount,Quickly retracting his hand and rubbing the back of his neck.

"Sorry.."

Tim was now glad to be caked in mud,As his face was burning red.It wasn't his place - At all.He had to remember his Instructing placement..

"I- yeah..." Emily's face flushed a little, but it had done what it had been intended to do, in a very different way. Before she could say or do anything else, she saw a young man she recognized from lesson riding up. Perfect timing. "Hey, slow down," she warned, not knowing if he saw them or not.

Timothy Blue / EI / Mentions: Emily, Luke.

Tim gives a heavy sigh,turning away and clearing his throat.He rubs his neck again,Slowing his pace and trying to look concerned at his gelding,

"I erm..You go ahead.I think Loon is limping.Just going to check.You know just in case.."

He stalls,avoiding looking at Emily as he brings his mount to a halt.Tim begins to mess with his legs,Looney giving a confused nicker.

He felt like he couldn't breathe,Just pleading with every bone In his body that they would both just leave Him be..

Luke and Red troted up to the XC course. He nodded to Time and Emily as he asked Red for a canter. Red moved into a nice smooth yet speedy canter. Luke sat up tall and strong with his heels down his seat soft and his eyes up. HE made a few big circuls before heading for the first jump.Red tossed his head trying to go faster but Luke held him steddy. The leaped over the first jump. Luke's two point was flaw less and Red tucked his legs under himself as he flew over the jump. They landed and flew off down to the next jump

Emily | Eventing | Tim, Luke

Emily, still bright red herself, turned the gelding around, towards Luke. Thoughts were racing in her head. Was she even safe here?

"Hey, Luke, wait up!" Emily began trotting towards him, though it was obvious it was uncomfortable for her.

Timothy Blue / EI / M: Emily,Luke.

Tim felt a rush of what felt like relief for a moment,Before it quickly turned to regret.What the he'll was wrong with him?He didn't know what was going on,with him.With them?

"Should have hit the ground a bit harder hmm Loon?"

He shakes his head,Waiting until the pair went out of sight before quick walking his mount back to the barn.

The pair arrive back around 20 minutes later,Tim taking Looney straight to the cross ties to untack and clean him.He takes extra care to hose his legs down,Even soaking himself under it to remove the mud from his face.He winced as the cut stings,Stabling his grey before slipping into the stall with his older mount.Tim gives a gentle whimper,Burying his face into Boomers neck.He couldn't help it,His eyes watering slightly as his hands trembled.Tim takes deep breathes,The scent of his horse soothing him slightly.

Dx The feels! )

Luke looked over at the girl and started to slow Red. Red looked at him with a look like a smirk. "Red don't do it!" Luke said then red did a sliding stop and Luke nearly went over his neck. "dude your going to make me look bad in front of every one." Luke said as he regained his seat and walked Red over to Emily. " nothing much, how about you." Luke said as he glared at the stallion under him.

Emily gave a small smile. "Did you retrain him for eventing?"

Swinging her feet out of the stirrups, Emily kept Promise on a tight-ish rein, which he kept pulling against. Every now and again, she would nearly jab her teammate accidently, which was followed by a sheepish apology.
