" Don't push her to far in one day, give her time walk up to it don't force her to jump it " he said lightly walking over. Taking the reins from Lara moving to the other side of the jump. He had clipped a long lunge line onto Flicka. Standing on the other side but far enough way that if she decided to jump he'd be safe. Giving a tight line to her, but not jerking on her. Using his mind to calm her and reassure her.

Flicka calmed down again. But, she stayed away from Lara. It was like something was wrong. Lara only walked forward enough to place a hand on the filly's neck. But, the filly pulled away. She looked to him. She didn't know what to do. She turned and went to the fence. She climbed up and sat on the top.

Seeing how she reacted to Lara he would address this once she came over the fence. Even the weakest elf can best a human yet Aaron is by far considered to be the strongest. Likely from the hell he's been put threw, and the rigerous training. Not to mention being a prince on the side, and a father. But to him Larka has always come first, then his training and his kingdom. Soothing the filly with his own mind. Reassuring her that she can make the jump, it is a water jump so it's natural for this kind of hesition. Telling her it's alright to land in the water, for cross country you want to, but for jumping you don't. The jumping over the water can be worked on later. Telling her don't worry about knocking the pole over, she'll get better. Overall he told her to trust him. He knows how to work with horses, in fact he's seen alot of horses do this.

Flicka snorted. She moved into a canter. Then went over the jump. She halted on the other side. But, still wouldn't go anywhere near Lara. Lara looked to Flicka. She knew something wasn't right. But, knew it would get fixed in no time.

Aaron praised the filly gently in her mind when she made a clean jump over the water jump. ' can you tell me why you don't want to go near Lara?' he asked slipping it in with everything else. He was good at doing this. As he walked forward curling the rope around his hand using his free hand to stroke Flicka's neck.

' She always forces me to jump the water jump. She knows how scared of water I am. But, she just doesn't understand' Flicka said. She looked to him. She could feel his hand on her neck. Lara watched hoping this would be fix able. She wanted to be back on the filly again.

' why don't you mess with the water for a bit get used to it. i've already made sure it is safe, i understand don't bring yourself down about it Flicka take your time ' with this he unclipped the lunge line. ' i'll talk to her about it ' Aaron said gently in Flicka's mind. Aaron walked over to Lara and sat down by her. " Lara you need to build up Flicka's confidence she's frightened of water, it is not unusual take it at her own pace. Forcing her to jump when only make her more fearful. If you wish i can help the two of what you need to work on first is trust ". Aaron spoke kindly to her and with a gentless and understanding that could not be faked.

Flicka went to the water. She sniffed it. She stepped into it. But, then when it splashed her face she backed up again. Lara sighed. She knew she did things wrong. " It's my fault then. I did everything wrong. I messed everything up with her" she said.

Aaron watched Flicka and smiled slightly her ' it's alright now the water can't hurt you it's not very deep ' in fact it was not it would barely go up to her knees. If it was even that deep. " Lara everyone makes mistakes, it is nither of your faults. Just slow down with her she'll be fine " he said his tone was so gentle, and reassuring it may surprise her. " If something is wrong i'll listen it dose not matter if it takes alnight " he had this suspicion since she showed up.

Flicka snorted. She walked into the water. She snorted. She stood there. Lara sighed. " There's only one reason I'm here. My foster family was killed by my father" she said. She hung her head and sighed.

Aaron looked at her " Perhaps i can help " he said he leaned over and kissed her cheek softly. Before standing up, he did not seem to think anything of it. He looked over to Flicka ' be patient with her ' he said calmly in Flicka's mind. It was noon now and the day had grown surprisingly hot out.

Lara sighed. She had no family to return to. The show was that last thing her father could take from her. But she knew her father couldn't take her back. Flicka snorted. She walked out of the water. She walked over to them. She nuzzled Lara softly. Lara sighed again. She put her arms around Flicka's head and held her. She was hurting and it wouldn't help her anymore.

' your hurting ' Aaron stated in Lara's mind. How he knows the things he dose could be a surprise ineed. Aaron looked over and Lara was running over. Larka ran over smiling happily, course first she had to cross the ground, then get threw the fence or over it, then run on over. When she finally did she wrapped her arms around him. When she stopped hugging him she was practically jumping up and down. " I taught Faith to role over " she was squirming now with exictiment. ' Faith is her white cat ' Aaron said kindly in Lara's mind. They talked for awhile Aaron smiled happily and laughed with Larka. If anything was wrong you would not known it. " Hi Lara " Larka said suddenly waving happily at her. " Why is she said daddy " Larka asked curiously Aaron spoke kindly to Larka for awhile. Larka had stated in the ancient language that's she's hungry. " Lara do you want something to eat? " Aaron asked his eyes said ' you need a break '. Something was different almost as if Aaron was keeping something from Lara. Perhaps it was something he wished to ignore himself.

Lara let go of Flicka. She moved off the fence. " Yeah I'll eat something for once. I'll just put Flicka away" she said. Flicka snorted. Lara took Flicka's reins and left the arena with her. She just need time to think alone.

Awhile later food was ready it was already one a-clock p.m. Aaron smiled gently at Larka from time to time as she talked. Once it was time to eat it seemed thats where her attention was. A hour later Aaron had walked outside and seemed lost in his thoughts again. Larka was inside and had fallen asleep on the coach. He put a planket over her which was out of habit. He stood outside thinking to himself. Alot of things had been on his mind as of recent.

Lara was sitting near a tree. Flicka was close by. She hadn't really unsaddled the poor filly yet. But, she had taken the time to take the bit off the bridle. Flicka grazed. Lara sat thinking about things. She felt tears slid down her face but had to find a way to get revenge on her father.

Something would comfort her in away that would surpise her. Causing reassurance and comfort and safety to come from no where. " Lara you are troubeled it is plain to see " he spoke so gently and kindly, with reassurance and comfort. Knowning he needs to be careful with his words.

" I just want to get rid of my father. He has killed my friends, my animals, my foster families" said Lara. She sighed. Flicka snorted. She raised her head and looked over. Then moved over and nuzzled Lara. Lara felt worse. She hugged Flicka's head again.

Aaron knew there is not entirely alot to phrase here. " As I told you Lara the only reason you could come here to Alagaesia is because i told you how to get here, however no one is able to get the information from you you are also unable to speak it " he said as he closed the distance between them. " Besides I promise I'll always protect you if you'll let me " he said in a reassuring tone that was both gentle and kind. His golden eyes looked to her and he gave her a small smile. Perhaps he did mean more by that then she knows.

" I'll let you but you have to promise that I can fight off my father once I'm stronger than him. But, I have to work harder to make Flicka jump better and have a better take off at each jump. I am being judge on how my horse jumps and takes off at the show here. I can't concetrate on her and getting stronger with magic at the same time" said Lara. Flicka snorted and leaned her head into Lara's hug.
