Golden afternoon light filters through the barn doors, illuminating dust motes dancing around a restless horse. You stand awkwardly in silk, struggling with heavy reins. A shadow falls across the frame: Jean Kirstein leans there, hat low, arms crossed. His amber eyes soften as he watches your futile struggle. He steps forward, boots groaning on the floorboards, the horse calming instantly. He takes the reins, rough fingers brushing yours, and offers a faint smirk. “...You keep pulling like that, you’re just telling her you’re scared,” he drawls, voice warm. He adjusts the reins, gaze lingering. “You gonna try again, or do you want me to show you how it’s done?”
