Equestrian Starter (All are welcome!)

[Andreo Salazar]

Andreo was waiting, waiting to teach a class of course. He had been teaching for a very long time and when he had a personality like he did, you would think that he would entirely hate it. Having to deal with children and having to teach them when they really had no thirst for learning, at least most of them didn't anyway.

There was one thing that kept him happy and able to actually teach these children and it was that the subject he was teaching was something he loved more than anything. He smiled down at the horse he was riding, one of the horses of the school but he had already bonded with the black stallion and named him after himself.

Go figure.

Andreo smirked a bit as he sat upon the stallion in the forest, he was arrogant and he knew it but he always had been and he never planned on changing it. He lifted one his hands off the reigns and ran it through his shoulder length hair as his hazel eyes stared out to where the stables were.

He smirked again, he could see students starting to file in for class and he could also see them looking around wondering where their new professor was. He almost full out grinned. He figured he would surprise them by galloping in on the horse when they would of course expect him to come out of the stables.

Also it would definitely win him some points with the ladies of the group. This time he did full out grin. Andreo was a ladies man so even if the girls were young if they were willing then he would gladly lay with them, never stay with them but he would lay with them just as well. He whipped his hair a bit smelling the night air and waited a bit more. He wanted to make sure that his class was good and full

He had just come to teach here and it seemed to be an oportune time for him to be here. Kalona had taken over and his powers were even stronger. He grinned about this even more, it made his conquests even more happy and himself happy because this way he had more conquests.

He looked across the forest to the stables with his hazel eyes and thought he saw everyone who should be there there, this meant that it was time to get this show on the road, the spaniard clapped his legs against the horse with a grin and the horse broke off in a run towards the students.

This was one of the many things that Andreo loved about horses, they were graceful creatures and they were also fast as all hell. He didn't need a car, he would be very happy with just a horse to get around with it. He had seen police do it, why couldn't he?

He galloped and stopped effortlessly in front of the students before sliding off the horse with grace as usual and then gazing at them and giving them all a really big smirk. He was happy, he saw a decent amount of attractive looking fledglings in this bunch. He could definitely work with this.
He grinned and stepped forward ready to greet them all.

"Estudiantes," he said with a smile clapping his hands together. "I am your Profesor, but you may just call me Andreo"

He patted the stallion with a smile "Obviously We will be learning about horses...So who wants a ride?" he grinned. He always started with fun and went with the boring stuff later. Now then, who wanted to learn? Learn about him of course and the horse...maybe.

Olivia rolled out of bed this morning/night, with the whole time difference thing, and she looked at her clock. Right in time to make it to Equestrian Studies. Her favorite class at the House of Night, Livi had yet to miss a single one. She got dressed in one of her normal not-so-complete outfits, and she walked towards the Fieldhouse, and Stables. Naturally being one of the first ones to show up, seeing as most kids were in class, and the classes didn't get out for another five minutes, Olivia waited underneath a tree near the entrance to the stables, and then entered as she saw some of the students spilling out into the grounds to move to classes.

Once everyone got situated, Professor Salazar brought out the most gorgeous stallion, and then introduced himself as Andreo, and that that was his preferred name. Livi smiled, more at the gorgeous creature in front of her, and when Andreo asked if anyone wanted to take a ride, Olivia looked around the room real quick, and then stepped forward slightly, motioning that she'd love to.

It had been far too long since Cris had been riding. With everything that had been happening lately, it was easy to forget about it. It used to be her life, or at least, her mother had wanted it to be her life. Not like it had mattered what she wanted back then but that was besides the point, wasn't it? When she had first come back from the fucking dead and been stuck back in this place with the people who had looked at her like she was a freak, it had been nice to have this place as a refuge.

But then she had gotten caught up with the Brat Pack, and the House had fallen to hell, and it had become easy to forget that she should have kept up with her riding.

Her riding gear still fit though, though it wasn't "proper" gear by any stretch of the imagination. Just fitting pants that didn’t bag or have rips, proper shoes that would stay in the stirrups and a tight enough shirt that it wouldn't flap and get in her way. If she needed a helmet, which she always refused to need, there were plenty to be had where she was going. Which, for the record, was the stables. Duh.

She had gotten to class a little bit early. Why? Because she needed to apologize. And not to any of her friends, but someone more important. When everyone and everything had seemed like they turned their backs on her because she had died, and she hadn't yet found Marluxia again, she had had ShadowSteps, her all black mare who seemed to love her no mater what stupid things she decided to do. Which was a lot. Just for the record. The mare still seemed happy to see her no matter what. Though she was being shunned right now as she approached the stall. "Shadow" she said softly, trying to coax the mare to come closer. She offered a sugar cube in the palm of her hand.

"Oh come on girl, I'm sorry" she said, still softly. And then she upped the ante by producing yet another sugar cube in her palm. Now Shadow seemed a little interested. Both the fledgling and her horse had an interest in sugar. If she didn't think the sweets would work, she also had a carrot in her back pocket. But the sweets caught the horse's attention and the mare came forward, delicately lipping the cubes off her hand. Cris reached up to rub the mare's face gently. "I'm sorry Shadow, I've been a bad partner, huh?" she said and laughed when the mare bobbed her head. Cris offered the carrot as well, figuring the mare deserved it, and then slipped into the stall to groom the mare before class started.

An hour later, and a long apology, and the pair of them were back in business and ready to go. It wasn't an uneasy truce, it was a whole hearted forgiveness. This was why Cris loved animals more than people. They weren't sly and they didn't stab you in the back. They forgave you because they loved you. Cris had opened up her affinity, and the two were connected like they had been in the old days. Since Shadow was such a pure beauty, it allowed Cris to connect to her when she used her affinity, and it was something Cris had forgotten how much she treasured. Cris leaned against her. Now she didn't want to go to class, now she wanted to stay with her mare.

Ugh.

She shook her head and planted a kiss on Shadow's nose. "I'll be back. Class. We can ride after" she said, and got a look that clearly said "we better" from her horse that made her laugh as she slid out of the stall and headed towards the class area.

Cris waited impatiently for the class to start when the professor galloped in. She watched, impressed by more than one thing, as he did this. From the way he rode so skillfully to the sinfully good looks, what wasn't to like? She smirked a little and leaned back against the wall. Okay, so maybe she should come to this class more often. He introduced himself and asked if anyone wanted a ride. Cris rolled her eyes as female students clearly clamoured for the opportunity. Cris wasn't going to be won over that easily. She was a fifth former who had been riding long before she had come here. It would take more than that to gain her attention.
