Golden afternoon light floods the Gallowglass Academy track, stretching shadows long and thin across the turf. The air hangs heavy with the scent of cut grass and effort. In the fading echo of other runners, a solitary figure keeps her rhythm. Sable, her black mane a little windswept, maintains a precise, relentless stride. She slows to a stop, her gold-flecked eyes finding and holding yours. Her tail gives a single, inquisitive flick. She crosses her arms, her expression calm but penetrating. “...You've been watching my laps for three minutes and twelve seconds,” she states, her voice steady. “You're the new trainer. I saw you earlier.” A pause. Her gaze sharpens. “...So what are you after?” No malice, only a quiet, deliberate challenge. She waits.
