Tsubaki was still lounging in the stables brushing the mane of one of the horses that she was assigned to. Her mane was long and a light brown color, while the rest of her was also a brown color, she noted that she had two white socks coloring, and white blotches on her hind. Tsubaki regarded the mare with a smile as it seemed to like being brushed--even leaning her large head down to nustle gently against Tsubaki's shoulder, "what a good girl--you like that don't you Milla."
The mare ears flickered when she heard her name, and gave a small whine when Tsubaki had stopped brushing for a minute to take a good look for knots. "Apologies, I didn't mean to stop, just seeing if you have anymore knots, once I'm done, we can go for a ride alright?" The mare's attitude quickly brighten as one of the hoofs hit the dirt by Tsubaki, and Tsubaki gave a light laugh in return feeling the bright attitude.
"Don't worry Mila, we'll be able to go for a ride as long as you want, as long as we don't try to get out of the grounds that is, or go anywhere near the shooting range." The mare nodded her massive head in reply to that, as she stayed still for Tsubaki to quickly finish brushing her, and Tsubaki with a smile did so in reply. Her hands gliding over the hair with the brush in her hands--until not a single knot was left.
"You ready to head off now?"

Cassandra rode into the stable on a beautiful white stallion with light brown speckles along her back, the horse her itself happened to be of a blond tone though. This horses name was Sapphire and she was the one that her family had bought her ever since she had first shown an interest in horse riding all those years ago which thankfully turned out to be one of the interests that she had stuck with due to the fact that Sapphire was a lovely animal, it would be a shame for her to have to die due to illness, old age or some other cause. Pulling her horse to a stop in the section of the stable that was reserved for Sapphire Cassandra dismounted her horse and got out a brush to take care of her hair, after all, if she was going to ride Sapphire she would have to look the part after all but besides from that she truly did love Sapphire, as a pet anyway.
“Adda girl Sapphire” she said in her distinctly British accent while combing down the length of her mare’s hair not noticing that she had company in the form of another rider and her own horse who like Cassandra was also grooming her steeds hair. Cassandra had always made the analogy between Sapphire and herself on the grounds that Cassandra enjoyed being groomed and looking fine while it seemed that Sapphire did, she couldn’t know for sure but judging by the contented neighs she always made when her mane was brushed and washed although what Sapphire really enjoyed was her food but that was alright as she got plenty of exercise to even it out.
Looking up from brushing Sapphire’s hair Cassandra looked around and only then noticed that she was not alone in the stable. Her company was in the form of a female student that looked like a first year student, judging upon her height, she also happened to have brown hair but beyond that Cassandra was unsure of whom she was other than the fact she was most likely a commoner and while Cassandra had no desire or reason to start a conversation with her she was perfectly open to continuing one if the other girl happened to start one off.

Tsubaki stopped brushing Milla's mane when she noticed someone else had entered the stables--it was a senior--they had a brief eye contact for a moment, before the girl went back to her own horse. It was a beautiful one at that as Tsubaki took note of the horses apperance, but Milla was getting very impatient, and she didn't want to keep her waiting. Though she did take the reigns of the horse guiding her toward the other horse, and Milla showed a friendly air about her as she called out to the other horse.
"Adda girl Sapphire."
It was a beautiful name for a beautiful horse such as this one, that Tsubaki couldn't help but to make a comment on her. "you are a beautiful horse indeed Sapphire, just beautiful as Milla here--don't you think Milla?" As she said this, Milla shook her head as if understanding Tsubaki's words, and Tsubaki held out her hand toward Sapphire, "may I have an honor of petting you, Sapphire?"
She always asked this to the horses, but never to the owners as her attention was only to the horses instead of them. Milla looked at Sapphire's owner, tilting her head a bit as she was curious on the girl, and why her rider had not given her any attention. Though it was short lived as she looked back to her rider watching at Sapphire's reaction.

Cassandra stopped brushing her horse for a moment as her attention had been drawn away by the other girl in the room. That peasant who was the owner of Mila had walked over agreeing with Cassandra that Sapphire was indeed a beautiful horse but in response to this Sapphire neighed in approval of the compliment, she was sort of a stuck up horse that while very picky about who rode her had no issues with the person that complemented her although she only ever let Cassandra pet her or stroke her mane. As a result of this though Cassandra moved her head away from Tsubaki’s outstretched hand in response to asking.
Cassandra chuckled slightly beneath her breath at Sapphire’s response; it was funny sometimes to see Sapphire be so picky about those who petted her although Cassandra supposed that due to fact Sapphire had been raised in wealth and luxury always getting the best of the best you could understand why she was such a high class horse in terms of acting. The reason why she disliked people other than Cassandra to pet or groom her was the fault of a much younger Cassandra, you see, when Cassandra was a wee little girl she would never allow anybody to groom Sapphire except herself which cultivated a disliking of others grooming her inside of Sapphire’s mind.
“Might I inquire as to who you are?” Cassandra asked Tsubaki directly not annoyed in the slightest that she hadn’t been asked about the right to petting Sapphire due to the fact that regardless of what Cassandra said Sapphire would just plan refuse and walk away in a huff like she had done many numerous times in the past regardless of Cassandra’s will or influence, maker was Sapphire ever a damn stubborn horse.

Tsubaki looked at Sapphire tilting her head understanding, "my my--have such a beautiful horse been pampered too much--that it has learned to shun another person's touch? How I would hate to see what would happen to such a beauty if ever captured....." Her voice turned a bit cold on that last part, but she spoke truth--mostly for knowing what her family had done to many horses that had gull to not listening.
She then took notice of the rider, her head no longer tilting, but her eyes held that inquisitive tone. "Shouldn't you be the one that gives out your name? Or do you hide behind your pompous quality that I saw just as you came in? You might be a third year, but that does not give you any right to act like a spoiled brat...." Tsubaki tilted her head again as she gave a smirk knowing that this girl would be pressed the wrong way, but she hated high class--they always rubbed her the wrong way.
Milla moved her head into Tsubaki's shoulder trying to sooth her, and Tsubaki just patted her muzzle. "It's alright, I'm just giving her a slight warning--my name is Tsubaki of the Storm family--mind you--you should understand my position as well." She looked at her straight in the eye, "I may not be a commoner, but do not speak to me or others like that--you learn to make enemies very quickly that way, and none would be sad to see you out of the picture....."
She folded her arms across one another looking at the girl, "may I now inquire what your name is? Though I have a feeling that I will in fact know you--just bother not to remember...."

Cassandra felt a wave of anger build up inside her as she listened to this impudent little peasant threaten Sapphire because some reason Tsubaki seemed to have a bone to pick with Cassandra but what was her problem was the important question seeing as how all Cassandra had done was ask her name, yeah sure she might have had an air of superiority about her about it but that didn’t bother you unless you let it bother you. Why should Cassandra give out her name first? At the end of the day one of them would have to give out their name first and seeing as how Cassandra seized the opportunity and asked first then it was Tsubaki who would have to give her name out first, she might not of liked it but then she should have asked first. By this point she was rather annoyed with this Tsubaki girl who so far had been a snarky, rude and impolite little brat for no reason what so ever where on the other hand all Cassandra had done was ask Tsuabki for her name but she at last gave her name out to be Tsubaki of the storm family which was an impressive name to be sure but it was such a shame to see Tsubaki was such an insult on her own family. “My name is Cassandra Richards Davion the fifth” despite wanting to make some form of retaliation Cassandra knew that she had to remain calm and not sink down to Tsubaki’s level of disrespect by answering her insults which believe me she could as all of Tsubaki’s insults had no grounds whatsoever in real life or fact.

Rushing into the stable, Sebastian, as the horse was named, it was on a wild rummage. One could see his grayish-tan body with white speckles that was misty on top and his mane and tail matching his body’s color. Whatever breeds it was formed from, his rider, who was a student of course, choose him to be her partner until she graduates from the school. Although, from wherever it was, it was breathing heavily and neighing. What ever happened, it happened. It was looking for help. His owner to wherever condition she may be in didn’t matter. What did matter was that the help came as soon as it could possibly can. Even if it just has to be one person to tag along to where he was going to lead them then so be it.
Besides, he couldn’t speak human language and neither could humans seem to understand his tongue. Although, by his actions it was easy enough to tell as it is. However, if communication was ever easy, then it shouldn’t be too hard to understand each other despite being different specious. Now then, only one problem is...would they understand him? What if they mistook his actions for something else? Then only this could mean the end for his rider. No, it couldn’t end like this; he had to do something – anything! Even if it meant he had to drag someone by the hair or by their clothing. Which was something he wouldn’t have prefer to be stuck doing.
In its lips, it was holding a pair of black rimmed eye glasses. Which belonged to his rider as he was moving his head left to right and right to left to whoever could understand what he was trying to say to the girls he had come upon in the stable.

Tsubaki gave a small smile looking away, "oh yea--the Davion Family--always seems to be the ones that get killed first" she said with no remorse, but then she looked at Cassandra with concern. Tsubaki shook her head looking away again, "that was only a test--you should be mindful with the aura you carry--or else people will use it against you--prehaps kill you because of it."
She looked at Sapphire with an outstretched hand again, "even your horse will be killed in coming combat if she is left at how she is--she has been pampered for too long, and does not know of the conceiqences of war.... Please be mindful--I won't stand for such beautiful creatures to be used and killed because of reckless ownership."
As she said that another horse came rushing into the stables--for what--she didn't know, but her attention was drawn solely for the horse that entered. She wanted to get it something to drink as it looked like it was out of breath of sorts, but she knew that wasn't the reason why the horse came crashing in, and she reached a hand out for it.
"Easy boy--it's hard to understand your actions when you're acting so frantic."
As she reached out, she took hold of what looks like a pair of glasses and studied them for a short while. Her eyes looked back at the horse peering at her back, "where is your rider?" Her brows creased into a worried expression as she gave a low whistle to Milla, whom came without complaint.
She looked back at Cassandra, "our talk is over then" she said hurriedly as she sadled onto her own horse, "show me where you're rider is now...." While many others might not have realized what was happening, Tsubaki could see clearly through the horse's actions, and the glasses it carried. Whatever happened to the rider, it might have been serious--and if a horse came running all the way in here to find help, then Tsubaki would follow the horse, even if it was a wild goose chase.

Cassandra was getting more and more annoyed with the impudence of this girl. Here she was speaking about being respectful and being mindful of the aura she carried yet here she was self-contradicting herself as was to be expected from a peasant like her, practice what you preach was the name of this game after all. “For one who speaks of being respectful and watching how they carry themselves you have made two threats against Sapphire, one against myself and one against my family so do not speak any further, you claims have lost their merit. You damage your own cause.” and that was all Cassandra was going to speak upon the subject which was a good thing too as she was right where on the other hand this Tsubaki child was utterly out of line and out of place.
On the other hand though if what she said did have any merit then Cassandra would have considered it at the least yet due to the fact that Tsubaki had stepped beyond her place, not due to Cassandra being royalty but due to the fact Tsubaki hadn’t earned that right yet, then she would have considered Tsubaki’s claims but alas her own stupidity and disrespect had ruined any chance of that ever happening, oh well it served Tsubaki right for being so foolish and unintelligent, it was very dumb to damage your own cause after all yet if Tsubaki didn’t know this then it was her own fault, although if she couldn’t figure it out for herself then that was her own fault.
But it was at that moment a wild and out of control horse burst into the stable clearly in a panic about one thing or another but what was unknown due to the fact that the horse was panicking so much. Cassandra recognised this horse though, she didn’t know the name but she had seen him being rode out of the stables this morning by a girl whose name she didn’t know. Luckily though Tsubaki had reacted quickly by removing a pair of glasses from the now calmed horse’s mouth then saddling and mounting her own. “I shall be accompanying you” Cassandra placed Sapphire’s sadle upon her back then mounted her and rode out of the stable following Sebastian.

Sebastian seeing the girls get onto their horses was a good reaction. Without further worrying, he turned around and headed out. Luckily the place wasn’t too far but the only problem was that, it was out of the property range for the horse riding area. It was as small as someone would think it would be but it was however, not too big that the horses or rider could get lost. Unless, the rider wasn’t thinking and went out of his or her own way to explore and come back without being noticed that he or she have passed the boundary line. In which was always set because in case any dangers should occur, both the rider and horse could response quickly and always be in the safety of the boundaries that school have set.
And apparently, Sebastian has leaded the other two girls and their horses pass the line of boundary. So from there on, they’re on their own if they encounter any problems. Of course, not that Sebastian would care much since his rider was the only thing on his mind right now. Before they know it, he led them to an edge of a cliff side. In which was very wide apart from the other cliff and also very deep in dead. In which could end for anyone who doesn’t stop before realizing too late that they are on the edge of life and death.
Sebastian then, looked around, sniffing to get his owner’s scent. However, he started to panic once again and was going back and forth. It couldn’t be…did his rider actually couldn’t hold on and have fallen down into the depths of the cliffs? Is she…dead? No, his rider did seem like the sort to do something like giving up. So in response he neighed loudly as he could. Next thing he knows, a voice called, ”SEBASTION?!” As the horse heard, went over and neighed as he lowered his head to show the two girls his rider.
It was his rider, the kimono Gothic Lolita girl, who was in her school clothes, of course, and was on the life and death end. She had bumped into some trouble and had fallen off the side and luckily ended up on a tiny edge of the cliff side that was already falling apart.

Tsubaki followed the horse--even when it went of the boundary line of the horse riding area, "it seems his rider decided to go exploring--not a bad idea, but one must also understand the dangers." Tsubaki said it outloud, though softly as in respect for both horse and rider--it wasn't that long ago when she did the same stupid mistake when she was younger, but back then--her father was always there to save her.
The horse led them to the edge of a cliff as it was trying to get its owner scent, but didn't seem to find anything, and Tsubaki sucked in a breath. Don't tell me she thought as she watched the horse neigh loudly, and then she heard it.
"SEBASTION?!"
Her breath was finally able to release as the horse looked over the cliff, and that still didn't seem good for Tsubaki. Tsubaki unmounted Milla as she jogged over near the edge looking over it to see the young girl on what seemed to be a crumbling piece of rock. "HANG ON, WE'LL GET YOU OUT OF THERE!" Her voice was confident, but that was only because she hid the concern behind it as not to frighten the girl even further into moving--one bad move an--NO!
She wouldn't even place it into her mind as she gotten up from her kneeling position heading to her horse's sadle bag looking through it. All riders had to be prepared for the worst situations--that is what she was taught not only by her father, but from the school as well. She found a piece of robe inside the bag as she tied herself with it, before looking at Cassandra, "she only has a few more minutes before that piece of rock falls apart--can I trust you enough for you to lower me down?"
Time was wasting as she moved toward the edge of the cliff looking at Cassandra, and she needed her answer now.

Cassandra rode Sapphire out of the stable, she wasn’t riding Sapphire at a fast pace as she was already tired out from before yet Cassandra had to also make sure she was going fast enough to keep pace with Sebastian so yes, despite Sapphire’s whining against having to run again Cassandra did still have to ride fast. After this was all over though Cassandra would be letting Sapphire have a few good days of rest and relaxation, she would have earned it after all seeing as how she had to do all this running today. Sebastian had led her and annoyingly Tsubaki to an area outside of the schools boundaries which was never a good idea, those boundaries were put in place and enforced for a reason but that still didn’t mean a shortage of fools who crossed them stupidly.
Having arrived Cassandra dismounted rapidly and ran over to the cliff that Sebastian was neighing about out of panic which was a pretty clear and obvious indicator that her rider had taken a rather unfortunate tumble over the cliff. Cassandra was planning to help yes but like before Tsubaki had already beaten her to the punch but oh well, either way they would save this damsel in distress. Really? Was Tsubaki really asking if Cassandra would help and trust her? Oh if this was any non-life threatening situation then Cassandra would have said no but that wasn’t a choice currently.
“Fine” Cassandra said slightly annoyed that out of all the people she could have been stuck with in this situation it had to be the most impudent and rude person she had met in a long time but oh well, she had very little choice so Cassandra took a tight hold of the other end of the rope and gripped it in preparation for the sudden increase in weight she would have to be counter balancing soon.

Akarui then looked up and to her demise it seemed that Sebastian had gotten help from the other members of the riding club. It was none other than the faces of Tsubaki Rin Storm; first year and Cassandra Richards Davion the Fifth; third year. ”Great…just my luck…other riders of the club…” thought Akarui as she grumbled to her situation. Suddenly, another piece of the side edge she was on, crumbled tumbling down to the deeps of the valley. Before she knew it something was happening and it was! She was anticipating for it to be a rope to came down to her, not a girl! Although, she could’ve just reached for the rope though, unless – reason was that the rope was too short. Great, another problem of tactic that they will have to overcome the extra weight on the rope to whoever is the one that’s got the grip on the rope of course.
Now then, while averting her gaze from the depths of her possible to be graveyard, she looked up and it was the Tsubaki girl who had stared to climb down. ”The rope was too short to just be thrown down? Asked Akarui as she literally was desperately was holding on for dear life as the Tsubaki climbed down, close enough for them to have a clear enough conversation.
Sebastian, the horse, was just watching patiently as he could. After all, it was a very close life and death situation. And one wrong move could mean the end of his rider for good. He just have gotten used to his new rider and wasn’t willing to just watch her die in vain. Unless, of course she had her own reason but it was something he was sure of that she wouldn’t be doing. Sides, it was the first time ever that he got to set out beyond the school line boundary of the school and he wanted to know more of his rider. Since he’s only gotten used to her after the first year that has gone by.

Tsubaki rolled her eyes at Cassandra as she readied the rope tossing it down as she watched it hit the face of the cliff, but it wasn't even enough to reach Akarui, "damn--I was hoping it'd at least a bit near--I'm going down." Before she could let Cassandra say anything, though she highly doubt the girl would share any concerns--she climbed down at a pace that showed she'd done this many times.
She was by the girl in no time looking at her reaching out her hand when she had asked the question, "as much as I would love to answer your question, but we should do this in a safe place." Tsubaki reached out for the girls hand grabbing her wrist, but otherwise not pulling her, and she looked back up, "bring us up! Mila, give helping hand!"
Mila moved forward towards Cassandra as she took a piece of rope in her hand helping to pull the rope. Mila gave a cry to the other two for some help in order to get not only her rider and master out of danger, but also the young girl as well. Though she knew that Sebastion would come without hesitation in order to save his rider, Sapphire--as beautiful as she was--would only stand and watch.

Cassandra gripped the rope tightly and pulled backwards on it as she felt the weight of Tsubaki and the other girl pulling against it, the weight was far too much for Cassandra by herself to be able to pull them both back up but luckily Tsubaki had called out to Mila who took one end of the rope in her mouth and pulled along with Sebastian who wanted to help save his rider. Now you would think that two horses and one girl would be enough to pull two human females up and you where right but regardless of that Cassandra didn’t want it to give Tsubaki any more fodder for insults or threats even though she didn’t truly care Tsubaki thought but well, Cassandra’s family where another matter all together.
Cassandra whistled and gestured to Sapphire for her to come over and help which the beautiful horse did as she was a loyal and obedient horse, good thing too as Cassandra could use the assistance of a third horse as her own hands where starting to lose their grip on the rope but like has already been said Sapphire came over and took up another section of the rope in her mouth and pulled back on it. Between the three horses and one girl they managed to start pulling both Tsubaki and the girl up towards the cliff and safety.
Hopefully the fact that both Cassandra and Sapphire helped would shut Tsubaki up and wrest an apology out of her for her previous behaviour and no, Cassandra was not ever going to let that go as it was utterly and completely uncalled for. “Are you unwounded?” Cassandra asked the glare they had saved while not showing any care towards Tsubaki in addition to the cold glare she was giving the stupid and rude little commoner known as Tsubaki.
