Eve nodded, slightly relaxing after he accepted. Turning towards the front, she gave a soft click of her tongue, along with a squeeze of her boots, and Dmitri's slow trot smoothly became a canter; a transition she had been practicing for a while. Quickly they caught up to the rest of the group, Eve's long hair flying behind her, her eyes narrowed to the snow and wind howling past like hungry, biting wolves. When they were back towards the main group, Dmitri read her mind (Not literally, of course) and slowed back to his loping, bouncy trot.

Tristan nudged Hugo into a smooth canter and followed Eve, "Come on Annalise." he called the wind whipping the words out of his mouth. It was getting colder but soon they'd be in the forest rather than out on the road hopfully. It would be better in the forest where the wind couldn't reach them as well as it could when they were out in the open. His face had gone numb and cold, and bits of his dark brown hair that came out from under his helmet whipped around his face, making him colder.

-Annalise-

Annalise nodded and decided to follow suit. She urged Anastasia into a canter, but the mare lept forward excitedly. A nervous reaction caused Annalise to pulled back on the bit sharply. The irritated horse shook her head and flicked her tail.

"Sorry girl,"Annalise apologized, loosening up her reins a bit. Unfortunately, the mare was feeling frisky and Annalise held a majority of her balance in her hands. Thus, neither of them were happy as they charged forward towards the group. One had a piece of metal grinding in her mouth, while the other feared falling off. The rider dreamed of the day that she would be able to ride gracefully and perfectly like Eve had down before her. Needless to say, both horse and rider were happy once they slowed back down to a trot.

Eve smiled at them both, when they caught up to her, and she rose in step with her horse's trot. It was impossible not to do that when Dmitri was trotting, it was almost painful to sit on him then. They may have finally gotten their canter down, she thought wryly, but his trot made her but sore! Looking farther up the group, Eve saw Ludvig riding at the head. She wondered if he would eve notice if they had gotten lost, fallen so far behind that the snow had blinded them. Probably not. This seemed more like an "Every man for himself" type camp, and he seemed like that kind of guy, too.
"So," she sighed, still thinking about Ludvig, "Can you guys tell me about the trainer?" She asked, curious to know more.

[~Erica~]

Tristan turned in his saddle to watch Annalise canter down after them both. He slowed down a bit so he was behind Eve as she pulled up near them. "Your not going to fall off." he told her gently sensing that what had happened earlier was still bugging her a bit. "You just have to trust yourself to know what to do." he told her with an encouraging smile. He turned as Eve asked about their trainer. "Well he's got some interesting training methods and seems to have very little compassion for the rest of us."

Eve nodded, her brow furrowing slightly. "Fun," she sighed, a slight smile on her lips, more from habit than actual happiness. Hearing Tristan say something mumbled and soft to Annalise, Eve realized she probably shouldn't eavesdrop, and she quickly blocked them out, kicking Dmitri into a slightly faster trot for a moment, before he resolutely pulled back into his slower, more painful one, so that they could have some space. She didn't know what they said, but she was blushing, thinking she had probably interuppted something, when she had first pulled back to talk to them.

-Annalise-

"I know I'm not going to fall off, but I'm still scared. I ride with my balance in my hands, and the only way to solve the problem is to ride with no hands, which terrifies me. It's a vicious cycle." Annalise says as she relaxes a bit,"And it is hard to trust that I know what I'm doing because I'm doing everything wrong." She looked up and watched as Eve walked away. Did she and Tristan scare her off? She didn't even get a chance to answer the girls question.

[~Erica~]

Tristan nodded sympathetically, "Ah had some of the same problems too so Ah understand what ya mean." he told her with a half smile. "Ride with your heart not your mind Annalise, trust me." he told her with a confident grin. He glanced up wondering why Eve had pulled away from the two of them...? "Just keep tryin and you'll get there eventually. Come on Annalise let's move a bit faster, and catch up with Eve so we can gossip 'bout our instructor eh?" he asked her with a silly grin.

Eve...
Eve rode ahead, zoning out slightly. She felt guilty for taking Triston's sweatshirt, but she knew she'd give it back when she could stop and get her own sweater. Curiosity nagged at her mind, bitting it and knawing at it, about what they were talking about. Curiosity killed the cat though, and Eve was determined not to be a cat. After all, it was there own buisness, not hers. Thinking about Dmitri, her horse, she wondered if she should have washed him down better--he seemed pretty hot, despite the chill of the air and snow. Frowning, she placed a palm on his brown, thick neck, her amber eyes narrowed slightly. "Oh, your fine, buddy," She cooed, patting him, and rubbing the thin layer of sweat that had rubbed onto her hand onto her pants.
