It was Ollie's fourth day at RERA, she was not particularly enjoying her experience at the stables, there were so many people! But it was not the worst of places she had been. At least Encore liked it here. Absentmindedly Liv patted the blue roans neck lovingly, guiding him along the trail. Encore loved trails, in fact he just love to be outside, and right now Olivia did not mind it either, it felt peaceful, calming, nice. She sighed contentedly and lead her warm blood gelding down an old beaten path. She listened quietly, hearing the birds chirping away, the breeze rustling the plants, the crunching of the snow underneath Encore's feet.
Taking in a deep breath of the cool winter air, Liv pushed Encore into a canter, allowing him to gallop almost freely down the path. She sat in the saddle as if she were a jockey, riding a race horse, following the movements of her horses's head with her arms. They took a sharp corner, Encore handled it well but at the last second, before crashing, Olivia noticed another rider and his horse. She gasped, yanking back on the reins as hard as she could, trying to get Encore to stop. He shot up, rearing like a wild mustang, Liv hung on for dear life, hoping that the gelding would not tumble back wards, unfortunately for her she slipped off and Encore noticing this, cantered slowly off down a small path, leaving Olivia the lay in the snow cursing herself.

Ollie lay in the snow for a moment, "Frick." She muttered to herself as she sat up. She glanced around, looking for her horse, he had probably run off again. Olivia sat with her knees to her chest, sulking to herself, what a stupid idea.. She should have just worked Encore in the ring, knowing how spazzy the silly gelding could be.. Ollie glanced up as a guy approached her, she scowled slightly then faked a smile. 'hello? are you okay?' The guy asked. Obviously she was not, having been just reared off of her horse, but she would not say anything rude to him, in fact she would say as little as possible.. If possible of course. She stood up quickly and adjusted her Helmut, and brushed off her butt. "Yes, thank-you. I am just super." She said bitterly as she glared at her horse. Liv reached over and grabbed Encore's reins from the guy, noticed his tattooed arms she could not help but comment. "Nice tattoos." She said quietly.
She looked away, after she noticed she had been staring at him then the the reins over her horses head.. It might be safer if she just walked him home she thought. She led the horse off a step or two, then turned around and looked at the guy again. "Oh.. Umm.. Sorry about that.. and uh, thanks for getting my horse for me.." Ollie mumbled shyly glaring at the snow covered ground. She sighed quietly, angry at herself for being such an idiot. Olivia stood where she was stupidly, she felt she could not move, suddenly. Like her feet where planted in place. She looked up at the guy, should she introduce herself? She frowned a moment before speaking again, "I.. I am uhh.. Olivia.. By the way.." She stuttered.

Liv waited a moment, listening to him speak as she shoved her foot into the stirrup and heaved herself up, almost sliding over the other side of the horse, but catching herself and sitting up. How stupid she probably looked! Twice she had made an embarrassment of herself, it probably looked like she had never ridden a horse in her life. She turned Encore around to face the guy, who had introduced himself as 'Sky Terrace, eh.' Olivia giggled quietly to herself, although it probably sounded like a sneeze to Sky. Ollie studied him a moment before he spoke, 'Are you sure you didn't get a concussion or anything? You sound very flustered.' He half smiled, making her smile in return, not being able to help herself.
"I dunno.." She shrugged. "I just.. Uh," She could never talk properly around, well anyone.. Not anymore. "Maybe you could, uh... walk with me?" She growled to herself. Walk with you? Him? Are you stupid? She thought to herself, her nose scrunching up in disgust with herself. "Ya know, to make sure I am okay and stuff.." Nice save. She lowered her head and rolled her eyes (almost as if she had been checking her reins) so he could not see, then she looked back up at him. "If you, umm.. are not busy.. or whatever.. heh." She finished taking in a deep breath. Ollie had never been very social so why did she want to hang out with this guy? It was a good question for her, knowing she probably would never be able to answer it.

Olivia nodded, giggled quietly, luckily it was not as high pitched and squealy this time. Sky took off at a walk and Liv nudged Encore to walk on and catch up to walk beside him. She did not say anything for a while, not liking the silence but not having anything to say. She watched the trail ahead, glancing at the passing forest and the sky.. anything to pass the time. She glanced over at Sky then spoke quietly, no longer being able to stand the silence, "So.. How do you, um, like the academy so far? .. Or um, yea.." She mumbled slightly toward the end of her question but she did not doubt that he could hear her.
While she waited for Sky to answer her question she fiddled with the reins, shortening them up a little bit before sitting up tall and properly. She reached up and adjusted her helmet again, strands of dark black and bright pink hair fell out from being tucked up, loosening the chin strap only a little so it was no longer tight. After she finished fixing her helmet she sighed heavily, then looked over at Sky, attempting a light smile then she looked away. It was just too hard to socialize, she had no idea why she wanted to hang out with him.

Liv noticed Sky watched her as he spoke and she felt herself blush lightly. No one ever looked at her, not even when they were talking to her. She was the shy and antisocial kid, labeled as 'emo'. It was very untrue though. She shook her head ever so slightly at her thoughts, she did not want to make herself look weird to him, or to anyone. She desperatley wanted to start fresh, to forget her past.. Though it seemed impossible. Perhaps it would come in good time, a fresh start.. She hoped this was it. 'How long have you been here?' Sky asked, she glanced up at him as he spoke. "Oh, uh.. Just a few days.." She said, her voice sounded like a whisper. "It's nice.. umm, here.. I like it so far." She said in a sigh, feeling slightly pround that she finished half of her sentence without saying 'uh' or 'um'.
She looked at him and noticed her was looking at her. Immediatley she looked away, how silly of her. Olivia sighed again then reached down and patted Encore's shoulder lightly. He whickered quietly in reply and tossed his head, he nuzzled at the mare but Liv quickly pulled him away. |

Olivia nodded absentmindedly as Sky spoke. She watched their two horses as they nickered happily at each other and she almost smiled for a moment but Sky spoke again. 'Where are you from?' She opened her mouth to speak, still contemplating her answer when he spoke again. 'I'm from Canada, Alberta specifically, came here to try to improve on my riding skills.' She half smiled. "Canada, eh?" She smirked, the 'eh' joke really was not funny but it seemed to slip out anytime she said 'Canada' or 'Canadian'. "Sorry." She mumbled, not wanting to offend him. "I've always.. um, wanted to go to Canada.. it's beautiful." She said quietly. "I am.. Well, nothing interesting to say really.. Uhm. I was born here in California.. Yea." Maybe it was because she was getting to know him more, she felt more comfortable around him and she could start to speak in full sentences? Liv left out the whole abuse thing, she did not want to disturb him or anything of the sort. She decided to change the subject, "So, how long have you been riding?" She asked, her voice still quiet but her tone was not as nervous and bumpy sounding.

Sky had spoken about himself and Tara as he patted his beautiful mare. Liv smiled faintly at the pair before watching the path ahead. 'How long have you been riding?' Sky then asked. Live glanced at him, "Oh, Um.. I have been riding.. pretty much my whole life... But when I was little I rode like Western pleasure.. Only once a year though... whenever we went out to see my uncle.." She sighed quietly and frowned, missing the old days.. Staying with her uncle over the summers, her brother.. She dared not think anymore on that subject.. Thoughts of her twin brother always brought her to tears, and she certainly did not want to have a break down in front of Sky.. Or anyone for that matter. "But Just is the .. Um, last few years I've been taking riding as a serious sport.." She said, her voice growing stronger with less pauses and 'ums' as she got more comfortable around Sky. She looked over at him again, then she looked back at her horse. He certainly was not as good looking as Tara, or as well behaved, but he was good enough. Liv reached down and patted Encore's shoulder lightly.
"Encore," She was sure that Sky knew she was talking about her horse. "Is.. He..'s into jumping... preferably Jumper over hunter." She laughed faintly, imagining Encore in the hunter ring.. He was not the type of horse to relax and do as Liv told him, he was meant for speed. Encore tossed his head again and snorted, like he was trying to keep Tara's attention. "Encore.." Liv mumbled giving him a slight bump up on the reins.
