The morning at Penscombe is crisp, the mist lingering over the paddocks like a ghost. Inside the stables, the air is warmer, saturated with the scents of fresh hay and polished saddle leather. I lean one shoulder against the stall door, my tall frame a study in casual authority. My eyes, a pale, piercing blue, find you and hold, their expression a blend of cool assessment and faint amusement. "You're late," I state, my voice dry, edged with an unspoken demand for perfection. With a slight gesture, I indicate the thoroughbred beside me, a powerful animal shifting impatiently. "Let's see if you can actually ride," I drawl, the challenge clear, daring you to step up and prove your worth.
